NYR469 said:Matt Carle, Jeff Likens, Corey Potter, Mark Stuart, Ryan Suter, and James Wisniewski were the 6 dmen named to the preliminary roster...
no official announcement has been named but apparantly Richmond and Dylan Reese will be the other 2
SmokeyClause said:Of this group, is Suter considered the favorite to pull down 1st pairing honors?
Brock said:I'd say so since he's the most talented of the group.
But Mark Stuart has the experience of last years team and very talented himself.
It's possible they could both play on the first pairing, but I'm willing to bet they will be split up.
Maybe something along the lines of Mark Stuart and James Wiesnewski and Ryan Suter and Matt Carle and then maybe Corey Potter and Danny Richmond making up the final pairing?

Wisniewski - he has competed pretty impressively at the OHL level and in junior tournaments and has had excellent stats. I've never heard any complaints about his character or work ethic either. Is he just a guy people are not expecting to be able to transition to the NHL level? He gets plenty of respect for being a very good junior age player but very little recognition as an NHL prospect it seems.
Wisinewski goes not have better career stats than Daley.puck bunny said:He is 5'11'' inch 210 lbs. so is Trevor Daly who is in Dallas's Farm system who has a simular game as Wisniewski and is actually shorter than Wisniewski and Wisniewski has better offensive stats in his career than Daley so Wisinewski should get his shot.
Sammy said:Wisinewski goes not have better career stats than Daley.
For the prior three years ending in 02/03, in 162 games Daley had 43 goals, 99 assists. Wisinewski in that same time period played 167 games, with 35 goals, 82 assists.
The one year Daley played in the OHL & Wisinewski didnt (99/00), Daley played 54 games & had 16 goals, 30 assists.
Brock said:Not to mention that Daley is one of the quickest skating and overall best skating prospects around. And that he will take the body.
I think the main reason that Wisinewski doesn't get the press of a top end prospect is because he's a smaller, offensive defenseman. It's true that his defensive game has come a long way, but thats in the OHL. He's going to have to work even harder to improve his defensive game to that of NHL speed, and NHL toughness.
Sooo, what stats were you using when you said Wisniewski is better statistically than Daley?puck bunny said:First of all if you remember at the Top Prospects game wisniewski had the fastest overall time in the skating however that best time was only used for him to get into the next round where he lost to Bowmeester because Wisniewski stumpled.
I know you are not saying that Daley is tougher than Wisniewski, Wisniewski who is a very tough fighter, great hitter and loves the rough stuff...This year Plymouth doesn't want him to fight at all bcause he is their best player. Sure he is doing all this in the OHL and who knows what the NHL holds but for know this is all we have to judge him on.
Also you talk about height where daley is smaller than Wisniewski...
