I've been seeing quite a number of posts on the Thrashers side that shows Enstrom pretty much locked-in to a starting spot. Who do you think starts over him?
isnt sheldon brookbank with nashville/milwaukee?
Andrew Ebbett will be playing for the Dcks on opening night I know this cause he was the best man at my cousins wedding when he got signed by the Ducks and signed my hockey news taht had his name in it.
Possible for Minnesota is Kalus and Sheppard...
Phoenix should have Mueller, Hanzal, Thomas, Carcillo, Jones, Roche, Gratton, and possibly Yandle, Bell, Kaigorodov and Lisin. I'm not sure what makes a rookie a rookie but everyone of those guys has <82 NHL GP.
It's less than 65 NHL games i believe although don't quote me on that.
Its less than that. Spezza lost eligability after playing 33 games the year before he put up 55 pts in 78 games in what was his first "full season".

Rangers:
Callahan (still a rookie)
Staal
Dubinsky (If the Rangers don't sign a 3rd line center)
Pop quiz that relates to the fact that NHL playoffs dont count against a players NHL rookie eligability:
Who are the only two players to win the Conn Smythe Trophy, followed by a Calder Trophy the following season?
Patrick Roy and I'm going to say another Montreal Canadien who I have no idea who it is.

Thrashers D should be
Havelid
Zhitnik
Exelby
Klee
McCarthy
Popovic
Enstrom didn't look all that hot in the prospect camp. I think he might end up spending some time in the AHL to start the season. Popovic has been a loyal soldier over the years, this is his time.
Oystrick and Enstrom will be in the mix along with Lewis. I just can't see Hartley going into the season with two rookies on the blueline. Enstrom's experience in SEL will help him there, but if he is not ready out of camp he might see a month or two(at least) in the AHL.
What about Benoit Pouliot? Any chance he'll make it this year?
What about Claude Giroux for the Philly? Could he make it ?
I agree with most, but I'd put Carey in the moderate chance column.
