I think I would still prefer doan over Morrow, not sure why, they are very similiar players, I guess Doan, even though older, doesnt seem to be injured as much...either way they would both be nice compliments to sid I think, is morrow a better/faster skater then doan?

Do we have enough cash to get Doan and A. Semin

Why are you saying Sid needs a right handed winger? Duper plays right winger with a left shot you could easily move him over for another lefty if they want the better goal scorer on his off winger

Potentially yes, we could. Likely that we would, no. Theres in between $11-12 million in cap space. Shero probably looks into both and either gets one or none.

I prefer Doan as well. Morrow is probably not likely, not that he isn't interesting. I just think the price for him---more for Shero---is going to go up. We got them last time for a less reputable pair of players that have turned out well. How do you see a top forward's trade negotiations going. Shero goes FA first, unless he can spin some more magic twine

Whether or not this is accurate, a one year deal for a player with his offensive talents is OK with me. If he proves he has the work ethic to stick then you look to extend him. If not, cut the cord and move on.

Tangradi-No, Bennett-not yet, and TK- No. Doan or Semin slot in nicely. Maybe for a year and bennett will be ready next year who knows.

Yeah I can't imagine Bennett would be ready right now. A year of seasoning in WB would do him good.

Bennett out of the 3, has a shot. Let him plow through WB/S for a bit first

Bennett didnt even play his full year of ncaa last year because of an injury(broken wrist I vaguely remember but could be wrong), bennett is years away still from the pros...I am fairly certain Bennet was replaced by Troy Loneys kid at DU, and Loneys kid stepped up and had a good season for a sophmore(maybe he was even a freshman)

Totally agree with this.

I didnt think Bennett was a senior even, and he def didn't have that outstanding of a season to jump right into ahl, correct me if I am wrong, but he will still be playing for DU next season right?

He was only a Sophmore. He will be in WB next year, signed his ELC.

nice, good to see hes ready to make the step up...hopefully he can be a top 6 or at least top9 winger for them and produce something...

Will Morrow and Harrington be on WBS this season?

He would have had two more years at DU. He wasn't dominant in college. His freshman season was alright and he had a better 10 games his sophomore season before injury.

Also where will Pouliout be this upcoming season and will Doumolin, the other D man we got in the Staal deal, be on WBS?


Thanks guys...just curious, sounds like our D core is going to be pretty solid in WBS if all of those guys are on the team...hopefully Theissen can have a solid season and continue to improve...

Just seems as tho a trade or two is gonna be needed. Unless some are gonna play Forward. lol

I'm expecting a trade and hopefully it's for a top 4 D. I'd like to get Niklas Hjalmarsson from CHI. There's also other guys. It's not like we'll lose many prospects either. It might take 1 prospect and a pick.

Doan sid semin would be ok with me.. Get it done Shero!!!

Any reasons why Colin McDonald was not invited to camp?
