I think those are the most likely options. I don't want to rule out Benson getting the 9 game look if he is great in camp. Even with Savoie a year ahead, as I said yesterday, if one of the players explodes, they're going to get the playing time. If Quinn can come closer to the shorter end of that rehab timeframe, they can make do with one of these guys or the likes of Rousek/Biro in the short term. As for Olofsson, I think that move does wind up being for D, even if it is indirect (add a pick and then later trade a different pick for D). This is the easiest time of the year to make that move and get the right return.

And we probably still haven't even named half of those options yet.

We have one of those town vacuum trucks that drives around for grass clippings. For some strange reason, my wife doesn't like me telling my son that it's called the suck truck.

And there hasn't exactly been a run on D in this second round so far.

Or a window for Savoie.

I have a hard time seeing them moving Krebs any time soon. He seems like the heart and soul of the team, the guy that everyone loves. And then you hear the comment on here earlier from Benson. He's not going anywhere.

That’s a fun little game to play each year, noticing the difference in quality of the name plates from team to team.

Do we really need to watch Kaplan ask the same questions to everyone, even if they already answered it with the previous question?

I’d say that the only thing blocking guys taken at this stage of the draft is their on play. If they play to their potential, there’s a spot available on any team.

I know there’s a lot of draft left, but are there any other sets of teammates lined up for the rookie camp?

And they broke the unwritten. Rule of always going to a commercial break while Buffalo is on the board. I guess that honor has shifted south a bit to Pittsburgh.

It’s not about the fighting or even the physical side of things. The big issue most are going to have with Wilson is that on any given day, he may wind up doing something that will remove him from your lineup for an extended period of time. Can you rely on that guy being there when you really need him?

Not even a single fire set? I call BS.

And if you add Wilson, you wind up getting him at a discount because he'll be suspended for at least a quarter of the season.

Zagrapan!

Out of curiosity, I had to and see if the numbers match the limited eye test I have on Blackwood. Yes they do.

Gretzky needs to return to Blues for a couple games until he break that one. Why the Blues you ask? He might as well set at least one record there.

Drafted in the 70s by a different team.

I finally caved and cheated. I never would have guessed that.

Goalies are tough. Did Miller make it?

For a second there I forgot how old the team is. Rob Ray has to be on there.

No, there is only one possible way you are allowed to think. Conform or be cast out.

More than likely, one voter thought Cates was a better rookie than Power. That or he was a better rookie than Beniers. Those scattered second place votes are pretty mind blowing. Can you spot the voters from Vegas, Anaheim, and Philly?

How about manbearpig?

I’d love to know who is going to center Hall-Bedard.
