RNH was talking about his 2 straight days of travel to get back from Ufa te other day. So I assume he will be back very soon if he isn't already.

 

[Tarus]

Stauffer said today they expect Yakupov in the city around Friday.

 

[CornKicker]

sounds like we got all teh good guys back

 

[nabob]

Is Horcoff going to show up late and only wear NHLPA practice jerseys out of spite?

 

[Samus44]

I thought Hemsky came back to Etown weeks ago. Did he leave again?

Nice to know that our Captain is so dedicated to the team. No worries he'll probably be one of the best conditioned guys at camp proving once again that conditioning doesn't mean much when you play non physically and have no hands.

Finally, a thread where we can all bash Horcoff!

 

[nabob]

It will be interesting to see if SS is a smaller/faster SS or a bit bigger/stronger SS. It seems like in past years he has struggled to find a balance that works for him. Hopefully he found that balance this offseason and didnt spend all his time in Klagenfurt eating Topfenstrudel and Germknödel.

After the crap he spewed during CBA negotiations all thread should be dedicated to bashing Horcoff.

Im going to go with slower and weaker. He will be lucky to break 20pts. The silly little ****er.

Rishaug tweeted Nuge back thrusday or friday.

 

[Alberta tough]

Anyone know if Hartikainen will be at the camp?

 

[nabob]

Anyone know if Hartikainen will be at the camp?

I would think so, especially with the injury to Jones.

Got the sense they didn't want to entirely fleece OKC of all their top players. MPS and Hartski should get call ups closer to Sunday after the games from the 11-13th. Maybe Teubert as well? There are 15 forwards confirmed coming to camp, you'd have to think this list is somewhat accurate:

1. Hall
2. RNH
3. Eberle
4. Hemsky
5. Gagner
6. Yakupov
7. Smyth
8. Horcoff
9. Belanger
10. Eager
11. Hordichuk
12. Petrell
13. Paajarvi
14. Hartikainen
15. Jones (Injured)

Don't know whether the 15 confirmed was including Jones with the injury. If not, perhaps Lander gets a look at camp.

Stauffer was suggesting perhaps Vandevelde. Makes sense. He likely has a lower ceiling than Lander but can likely fit in better on the bottom line. He wont make the team, but an invite to camp could work.

 

[sepHF]

Any word on Hemsky? I thought he left Pardubice a little while ago, did he come back to Edmonton?

 

[thadd]

OK the Horcoff thing aside... this is borderline stalking... isn't it?

I think they said 15/8/2 not including Jones or sutton

 

[HockeyOrDie]

And an arrival you probably weren't thinking of...

Two days one he'll of a lay over in Germany or somewhere should just be a three transfer flight from where he is

 

[Jumptheshark]

to get from UFA to Edmonton takes 25 hours

UFA to Moscow onto Houston and then on to Edmonton
