Steen out for the rest of the preseason with a hand injury.

Well this is quite the rocky start...wtf...snake bitten already?

Their depth will be tested right out of the gate.

As for the question on Bouwmeester, I'm not a big fan, and it's for the reason cardinalkarp cited (ROI). If you're getting paid like he is and contributing next to nothing on offense, you better be a lockdown, 1st line, heavy minutes defenseman, and I just don't believe that he is. I guess I'd just rather see Shattenkirk getting that money (and obviously, a little more) than Bouwmeester.

I liked Shatty as a person, and I liked his offense. He was crummy on D, and perpetually exposed as such in the playoffs. I'm not too sad that we didn't lock him up.

Bouwmeester is paid too much, but he's a good compliment to Petro. Kinda like Seabrook with Keith. You split them up, they're both not as good.

[MrCrowesGarden]

I think Bouwmeester's PK abilities will be missed if it's an extended period he misses (a month or more of regular season time.) I wonder if Edmundson will get bumped to the 1st line or if they'll go to Gunnar/someone else. I really doubt it's Parayko.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Robert Thomas with 2 goals tonight against the Capitals. That pick looking good.

[MrCrowesGarden]

And one from Kostin. Good night for the rooks.

Now Fabbri is out the rest of the preseason after reaggrevating his knee. This is a fun start to the season.
