Can any of our young guns bump someone from the current roster?

Yeah, maybe. But one thing Torts doesn't like is lazy players! He better not come in thinking he's a lock, because he isn't. And we all saw what happened to Booth at last years camp. He came in thinking he was a lock, so he was out of shape and injured himself. This isn't Florida's camp. Those two, I really feel might end up being bumped if they don't come to camp in shape,ready to compete!

Uhhh I says pardon..?

How can you put Schroeder in 3C instead of Richardson??? That my good sir, does not make sense...

Sedin Sedin Booth (If he can perform like he's expected)

______ Kesler Burrows

Higgins Richardson Hansen

Sestito Santorelli Kassian

is a much better looking line up. The issue is, who's going to be 2nd line centre.

I think that is a spot Shinkaruk/Horvat/Jensen/Kassian will be fighting for, Possibly Higgins.

Gaunce, Horvat, and Shinkaruk would be gambles. It's the big club or junior. Meaning if they struggle after 10 games we're stuck with them here for the season. Jensen is unlikely with the contracts already in place. Schoeder will be competing for that 3C spot. He's approaching waiver eligibility so it's time to play him even if it's just to build trade value.

I only see one prospect having a real shot in the forward group.

Another interesting wrinkle to this, if people think Gaunce is miles ahead of Shinkaruk in terms of development...7 months apart in age. That's it.

Not that age matters. I am merely suggesting that their development curves may be closer than we think.
