Meh, I think Necas will be on the Canes so you are probably worried about nothing when it comes to him. Ned, I can see your point but he's caught up in a numbers game. Bean, I'm fine with either way. If he's on the team this year, great. If it's next year, that's fine too.
I truly do believe it is going to be a battle - 12/13 forward spot (assuming no Williams), back up goalie, and 5/6/7 defender slot. The guy I'm really pulling for is Haydn Fleury. I believe something clicked for him at the end of the AHL season and then into the playoffs. To my mind, I think he's the guy to be on the 3rd pairing left side.
