I was hoping we could have an actual defenseman man the other point with Streit this year on the PP. I guess that is a luxury. Other than that, his being on the roster is not a problem. Bruno is another story. |

Yeah, that's JUST like the Hawks. :rolleyes: Hold your breath and wait for Cholly to do that. |

It's nicer than saying Cholly will croak and the kid in the hat takes over.

I have no problem with this one, as I've stated in the past. Hopefully the guy will be healthy enough to compete at a higher level compared to when he was playing hurt last year. We need veteran presence and It'll actually be interesting to see how it plays out. Who will be captain in '11-'12? |

Oh please. we're actually poised to compete for a playoff spot this year with the revamped defense. And this time we actually have depth at the position. All of younger forwards - Okposo, Tavares, Bailey, Comeau all played well last year and should improve on their play this year. We finally have depth at the wing position with Martin and Neiddereiter waiting in the wings. Although I'm not thrilled that they brought back Sim and Hilbert (of all people), at least they are on two-way deals - and have plenty of NHL experience if we need to call upon a player due to injury. I'm curious to see who is going to push Gillies out of his spot on the 4th line during training camp. So we didn't make a big splash in free agency, as usual, but the defense looks a hell of a lot better this year than last. And this team almost eeked into the playoffs last year with Kohn and Brutal Bruno back there. If DiPietro finally plays this season, this team will surpise some people - especially our own fans. |

Well, he's playing bolder....and there might be more room for him behind the net. MY JESUS we need a better defense now! Oh, wait...maybe DP will play afterall.

playoffs? ok i'll bite. with the stunning additions of Mr. Knee/Back injuries Never played A Full Season Eaton and Mr. Injury/Sick/Bus traveling Never Played a Full Season Jurcina, Martinek will probably last a game or two more before being shut down...again. I'm being critical because every season I'm foolishly optimistic. Not this time. We'll come close, like 10th place close, but we are not playoff ready. And say we do make the playoffs, woop-de-F'N-do, an 8th place finish for an early exit in the first round. How many times have we seen that? |

An 8th seed would be great with this team. It's not the same as years past where a veteran laden team underachieves to the 8th seed. A young core of forwards with almost no veteran, high end talent OVERACHIEVES to the 8th seed - that would make this season a total success (even if it is wishful thinking at this point). |
