Goalies

BRZ
Telly
(Montoya will have to prove he’s goalie enough to manhandle the AHL before he can steal Telly’s spot and if they are really expecting Ilya to be a 60+ game workhorse, it does no good to Monty or Tordjy’s development to sit every night waiting for Breezy to let them get a game)

It has been said that Gistedt will be coming over in the summer *Gee is stuck behind a hot goalie in Europe and isn’t getting much development time there… does the 3 headed goalie monster rear its ugly head in Phoenix again? or is there a trade brewing? or are the Sundogs going to get a superior goalie who needs some playing time? scary thought is McVicar just picked up the President’s trophy down there so the playing time might be a wee bit limited there too* Although Gee is over 20, he still might be subject to IIHF rules that prevent him from staying in NAmerica at the minor league level… need some clarification on that I guess. Anyone?

DEFENSEMEN
Jovo
Morris
Ballard
Michalek
Boynton (unless some team makes GMDM an offer he would be dumb to refuse… Nick still has a lot of life and leadership left in him)
??? new kid = Ahnelov (from Sweden) or if we get one of Bogosian or Schenn they could just be NHL ready and take this spot since neither Jones (not enough offense) or Yandle (not enough defense) grabbed the job and made it their spot.

*Rumor control has been busy placing Redden on the team - do we run 6 top quality Dmen and let the baby Dmen mature in the A? do we upgrade our 5th man slot (someone will have to leave) and still run baby D in the 6th spot? or is this a vicious lie created to make us insane over the summer?*
