I'm confused - Joey's on the training camp roster, but he isn't allowed at training camp without a contract.

Is this all a preview to the surprise of media day coming later??

Well this is getting tiresome.

Couple more absences and we can start the Connor-Jack debate.

So we might be without Joey and Horton, not just for training camp, but for the start of the season. That's two more jobs available. Makes training camp a little more interesting.

So who gets those jobs? Wennberg and Hjalmarsson have a chance, though I'm pretty wedded to the idea that everyone go through the AHL, at least for a bit, even if you're an SHL star. I think Gibbons and Letestu might be the best guys to move up the lineup into the top-9. Chaput and D'Amigo could fill in on the 4th line, which might be adequate, but also could leave us really feeling the loss of D-Mac.

Jeez, pretty defeatist before the start of camp?

Pump the brakes on Horton. It says he'll be limited for the start of camp, nothing about the start of the season.

Yeah, but I'd rather him shut it down and heal up than try and play through a lingering injury. We've seen that movie before.

Damn that has to be a record.

Another bright light. see couple of posts up. Sheesh.

If I'm Alexander Wennberg, I am liking my chances to make the big club out of training camp.

They are definitely better than they were a day or two ago.

I think the only player safe in their role at camp is Sergei Bobrovsky, which means a few things:

1. Bobrovsky is a great goaltender.
2. We have literally no help for him.
3. Our roster is full of competitive guys who can move up or down in the lineup.

Or, you could take the pessimistic approach and say that our roster is undertalented and we have no clear top line. I like option 3.

I think its a mix of #3 and the pessimistic statement. I think outside of Joey we have 3 #2 lines.

I'll take 3 #2 lines over the 2 1 1/2 #1 lines the Penguins have, any day of the week.

Has anyone heard if Peter Quenneville, and Julien Pelletier were assigned to the Wheat Kings and Screaming Eagles respectively? I noticed they were not on the camp list.
