I don't think he can go to OKC

Why? He played just as many games there as he did in the AHL.

* Denotes Injured Reserve

You know these injuries have kind of a blessing for our team recently. Given how we can call players from the AHL ono an emergency basis, it's giving some youngsters a much needed opportunity to get a taste of some NHL action.

I'd prefer Fayne to be healthy, because we need more right handed d-men.

It's been fun watching this banged up and poorly constructed team attempt to keep their heads above 0.500 under Nelson.

I love Gordon and Hendricks, but it's good for our team to have these guys resting up right now.

I want to see Lander get more tougher minutes as long as there out. There's no way he's going to ever be a 2nd line center, so having him more tough shutdown minutes and a checking line is exactly what we need to see.

If he keeps his head above the water it'll bode well for his future in Edmonton.

I really wish Pitlick would stay healthy. I can't imagine how much these injuries have effected his development.

Two weeks on a conditioning stint?

Ya, that'd be the way to go. Let him play out the year down there if he can make it back

Any news on Pakarinen? Just wondering.
