I don't think it makes any sense to expect any rookie to push out the likes of Jokipakka and Benn. While it would be nice to have somebody that ready to be that good, those two are a big hurdle. Joki won the battle for 6th pretty decisively IMO, and Jordie was our #4 for a full season's worth of games between last year and the previous campaign.
I thought Johns was going to be the guy to force Management's hand. He was supposedly poised to take a spot on the Hawks d-corps before injury last year, so I figured he had a good chance of making the club as early as opening day.
