How are Jurco's chances now? Finished last season on a tear in the AHL on the way to helping Grand Rapids win the Calder Cup. This year he is on the 1st line w/ 1st line PP time and has put up 22 points (10+12) in 19 games.

Now that Marincin is making his debut for Oilers, I'm wondering if there is a chance for him though, would love to see him there.
Funny thing, I think otherwise - Valabik is plain awful, barely skates and like Mihalik a littleI wouldn't put Marinčin in the same category as those two. They only made it because of their size and physical style of play (though I like Valábik a little, Mihálik is just plain awful). His attributes lie elsewhere. Unlike them he can carry the puck well, join the rush and go for the net, has a great first pass from our own zone, can work the stick well along the boards and last but not least he has a hard and accurate shot. What he needs is to adjust his level of play to the NHL now. However I suspect Edmonton will keep shuffling their defenceman and he will be unfortunately sent down. I hope he will see another couple of games at least.
Anyway I believe Vujtek could give him a chance.
Tomáš Jurčo with his first NHL goal in second game. I hope, he already is one of the 14 forwards, I would like to see something like this:
Tatar - Handzuš - Hossa
Pánik - Kopecký - GáborÃk
Jurčo - Mikúš - Hossa
Bartovič - Ölvecký - Záborský
(two of Å atan, Bližňák, Surový, MiklÃk, Radivojevič)
Chára - ViÅ¡ňovský
Sekera - Sersen
MeszároÅ¡ - Graňák
Baranka - Marinčin/Starosta
Halák, Budaj, Janus/Laco
Gaborik just broke his collarbone. Almost certainly out for this tournament.
Does Dano have any chance what with playing in the KHL?
