"Forward roster looks like:
Definitely (6)
25 CASSELS, Andrew
17 CLARK, Chris
12 FRIESEN, Jeff
11 HALPERN, Jeff
8 OVECHKIN, Alexander
9 ZUBRUS, Dainius
Probably (2)
16 SUTHERBY, Brian
24 WILLSIE, Brian
Bubble (7)
10 BRADLEY, Matt
27 CLYMER, Ben
15 GORDON, Boyd
18 PETTINGER, Matt
28 SEMIN, Alexander
20 SYKORA, Petr
42 ZALESAK, Miroslav
8/13 are (at least) probable, leaving 5 slots and 7 people. Semin is a big question mark (I'm being clinical, not optimistic) for this season, but let's just pretend he won't make it to the US, leaving us with 1 lonely survivor being voted from the island here. If Sykora doesn't show, he's the obvious candidate - but recent reports seem to suggest he will be here soon, so let's not write him off yet.
And the defense roster looks like:
Definitely (1)
19 WITT, Brendan
Probably (3)
44 EMINGER, Steve
6 HEWARD, Jamie
26 MORRISONN, Shaone
Bubble (7)
34 BIRON, Mathieu
36 CUTTA, Jakub
52 GREEN, Mike
23 MAJESKY, Ivan
47 MUIR, Bryan
3 NYCHOLAT, Lawrence
40 YONKMAN, Nolan
So, 4/7 are probable, leaving us with 3 slots for the other 7 defensemen, 4 players still need to be cut here.
Netminders are obvious:
Definitely (2)
37 KOLZIG, Olie
33 OUELLET, Maxime
Edit: Just a note - with Semin MIA and Zubrus still not skating(?) for games, Sykora had better be on the plane or in the camp already, or we are short 1 forward."
One more cap-casualty veteran stolen for D and this team will definitely not be as terrible as most are predicting. But pretty damn bad regardless.
Apparently Columbus is being struck by the Flu, so I'm hoping for 2 things: a) its not bird flu, and b) its more than a 24 hour bug. Normally I want my team to beat their opponents when they are at their best, but this year I think I'll be happy with any wins.
