I think they will do most of the moves before the Yellow knife trip. They can only take so many players with them and the expence of having players watching from the stands are not worth taking.

Both games will be brodcast on the drive. There will be tough decisions to be made and posible vets jobs on the line. I keep hearing that Brad Cole is on the block and his performance has been not up to the teams expectations. There are a lot of new and big defence wanting his job. Who knows? a lot can hapen before the season starts.

Heard he is helping his family on the farm or something along that line.
Time to trade for a tough guy I think.

Thats to bad. I wish him well, he will be missed as our enforcer. Will we have a new tough guy from camp or do you think we will have to find one. With little guys like Russell and Sylvester we will need someone to be a protector.
