BD's Undisclosed Injury Alert!
Welcome to my new, NHL 2008-2009 season Official Undisclosed Injury Alert. We all know Campoli and Sutton have undisclosed injuries. Now we can add Josh Bailey. Greg Logan's blog in Newsday alludes that it might be his hand and might portend to his being sent down to do his season at Windsor. Though he hasn't been out-of-place this pre-season, I think many have seen that he needs some more time. At a mere 19 years old, most of us said this when he was selected. However he's been given a fair shot to make the NHL. However if injured...which will be this season's newest guessing games thanks to the NHL and GMs, then he might be best off back at Windsor.
This all said, one could assume since there is room at center until Sillinger returns, that he would have been likely to be around for 9 games at the start of the NHL season. Now that could change.
Chris Botta on IslandersPointBlank.com reports that the lines will likely look like this:
Tambellini - Nielsen - Hunter
Sim - McLean - Okposo
Comeau - Comrie - Jackman
Fritz - Colliton - Sugden
Witt - Martinek
Hillen - Meyer
Streit - Skinner
MacDonald
Danis
