GDT: Game 70: Sharks @ Coyotes - 7PM

[HerrDonut]

We'll probably add/re-sign 1 vet top-9 winger (i.e., Tanguay, Vrbata) and at least 1 veteran depth forward, so I'd prefer to avoid giving Tikhonov a 1-way deal.

I can dig it. I see Tikh as redundant with Martinook, and I prefer the latter. 2-way or an invite to the door for Tikh, it appears.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I expect Strome, Dvorak and Gaudet to already be penciled on to the roster. So, we will have Samuelsson and Perlini on the outside trying to crack the roster this upcoming fall. I hope there is room for Tiks, because he is absolutely responsible defensively and I don't want our roster to resemble Edmonton, all offense and a free for all in our own defensive end.

Smith or Domingue tomorrow night vs TB?

Domingue against Tampa, Smith in vs. San Jose on Sunday.

Don't forget about dauphin and Fischer. I'd bet Fischer goes back, we seem to prefer our players finish two juniors years, but dauphin and gaudet could be a good camp battle. Dvo should make it too, but imo the only lock is strome.

Both Dvorak and Gaudet are resposible defensively. You can add Martinook and Reider to that list. The only kid I think is penciled in is Strome, with Dvorak a close second. Training camp is going to be a blast.

Because of his development path, Fischer is eligible for the AHL next year at age 19. Wouldn't mind seeing that happen. Give him a new challenge rather than a repeat of Windsor.

 

[zerekstar]

how much more development time do we think MacInnis is going to need? I'm guessing two years but for those who see him play more often, what do you think?

It would be nice to have some new blood to bring up every year so that's good. Maloney does seem to be following the "Detroit model" by letting them cook for a while but eventually being in the position of always having someone ready to bring up as needs change.

Smith is brilliant; all hail smitty

I was joking. Has he ever been brilliant or worthy of hailing?

Mike Smith career playoff stats: 19 games, .945, 1.88

I'd say that's worthy of some praise.

Guess I should have added in the last 2-3 years

Your probably right, but as much as I was disappointed in Perini last training camp, I was impressed with MacInnis. He had a great camp.
