Based on the forward lines from the first day, it looks as if Joey is going to at least go back to Springy for awhile. Can't say I argue with that.
But does this burn a year off his contract..?

Whenever he plays, NHL or AHL it is year of his contract gone. As soon as he was sent to Springfield the contract year started. The best thing for him is to understand he needs to earn playing in the NHL. IMO, his play here in Springfield has not shown that for me. Needs to be much more consistent and learn to use his size.
Dubinsky, Anisimov and Erixon are pissed that they were traded from the Rags. I know we will give them a ton of responsibility & playing time but the Rags are legitimate contenders.
We shall see.

I'm not a fan of Dorsett or Umberger on the first line. That said, I'm even more convinced that we have THREE second lines. You can switch them all you want. When it comes for forwards, nobody in the top nine really stands out as better than everybody else. Not yet, anyway.

In the interview he said that there's no any particular reason, he just likes the number.

Also, "Coach Umberger" is still our current best goal-scorer. He'll be on the top line.
Yeah, Crosby, RJ and Ovi will lead the league in goals this season.... oh, they will land on Mars together too.... lol
RJ, no but if it's goals were talking Atkinson could be thrown there, kind of a dream more than realistic hopes.
Atkinson was picked by Yahoo sports to win the Calder. Maybe they see a lot of goals coming from him
Ahh, didn't realize that. Ok lets go for Boone To get it!Too bad he is not eligible. He played in 27 games last year for the CBJ - if he had played in less than 25 he would have still been eligible.
Question for anyone who has seen practice. Does Boone make the team?
I realize that it's hard to tell much of anything after just 2 days of practice, but the coaches have to make these evaluations in a short timeframe as well.
I think Boone is going to be a great one, but I don't want him here if he's not ready. With that said, I think he should be here if he is ready.

Yeah I'm not sure under what criteria RJ is our "best goal scorer", but I would not be shocked to see Atkinson lead the team in goals. This is going to be a great year for someone to break out.

Yahoo sports also had Igor Grigorenko as a kid who could potentially score 50 goals as a rookie with the Red Wings since he could play with Dats and Z...
The criteria of "he's the only member of the team who's consistently scored 20 or more goals for the last four years in a row".
Could Atkinson - or one of Dubinsky, or Anisimov, or even Foligno - overtake him this year? Certainly. That's not aiming high. His status as the best isn't exactly by some kind of impossible margin; it's based on consistent results rather than existing talent. But that does mean he has the most PROVEN ability to consistently score goals of anyone on the team. Whether y'all like it or not.
