1. You left out Sekera when talking about key additions...
2. This seems to be an excellent move, based on everything i've heard!
improving our faceoffs, and a little more size on our checking line(s). looking forward to Friday's game, but i've lost track of injured players in/out...what's the lineup look like?

The information is often standard NHL vague, but you can find the team's official report here which is updated pretty regularly.

The fuzzy update is:
--Skinner officially out for the weekend.
--Bellemore practicing and a maybe for Friday.
--Faulk skipped practice yesterday but there was really no word from the team and he was back today, so wild guess is that it is just rest or something minor. He is not on the injury list, so I guess that's good.
--Dwyer is back at practice and no longer on the official injury list, so he seems likely to play Friday
--Dvorak is back at practice. Have not heard for sure he is available, so he is probably a Fri decision.
--Westgarth is hurt. Injury list shows him as out for the weekend. That could actually be a good think as getting him to IR could make another spot when the reinforcements arrive.
Who did I miss?
Lines at practice are closer to beginning of season:
Tlusty/EStaal/Semin
Gerbe/JStaal/Dwyer
Ruutu/Nash/Lindholm
Bowman/Sutter/_____
Charlotte plays tonight, so if Malhotra is not in the lineup (he is healthy) that would indicate that he is on his way to Raleigh to be officially called up before Friday's game.
