I would actually take Kneeordano here. He has played the right side, and that would be a pretty rock solid 3rd pair with Kulak. And I guess an emergency guy that could play with nurse if needed. Probably the most well rounded player of people available. He's old, but can still play a solid depth game. Most of the other guys available are very questionable in their own end.

Fowler I'd take for sure, but that would be a tough trade, plus he's expensive. Think Fowler can play the right side too.


What did Giordano's fancies look like in Toronto last year? He's long in the tooth...if he's cheap maybe? Played in only 46 games last year with 9 points and +10. That's definitely better than Tyson Barrie.

Fowler, I think you need a trade that you're not giving up too much AND where the Ducks keep salary. That might not be the easiest one to manage.

Is there a limit on how many PTO's you can bring in?
Sign everybody to one! Create that atmosphere in camp that EVERYONE has to fight for their job.


You can bring in lots of PTO guys, but they take reps away from prospects who you don't get to see in these situations very often.

My thought with training camp is that it should be extremely rare that someone makes the team out of camp. You should know your roster pretty well, and teams have enough scouting available to them, not to mention reams and reams of video tape, that they should be able to evaluate where players fit and barring either a massive jump in performance level over the summer or an injury that opens up a spot, the roster should be pretty well set in August before camp starts. If I'm a GM, I'm not changing my mind about where a player sits based on two weeks where the vets don't care and 60% of the opponents are minor leaguers.

We've seen the Oilers fooled by a pre-season hot streak before...they don't tend to be sustainable.
