I am catching myself being somewhat more excited that the Pack is back and seeing plenty of prospects play that will hopefully kick azz in the AHL... NHL is all glitz and glory and high-end end hockey, I am so happy the team is back as the Wolf Pack (colour, logo, sweater, name... ALL) and the more raw and run-and-gun hockey of the AHL...
REALLY hope Hedberg gets a NYR deal so he can push Talbot harder to become better... Missiaen and Malcom I see in ECHL, Stajcer injured so who knows, Skapski in Juniors. Man, Hedberg and Talbot in the AHL would be a tremendous duo, PLUS it gives the NYR the option to call up Hedberg if they need someone to fill in an emergency basis or just sit on the bench while letting Talbot continue to play in the AHL. Lets see what happens with the Moose.
Hell, I don't see why Hedberg wouldn't sign for the Whale if necessary... Give him max AHL Salary $925,000 for 1 year and let him push Talbot for the "backup" spot when Biron's contract expires.
Then again, it's been said Hank likes Biron and that they work off of eachother, so that's something.

Dupont got a lot of extra ice time as two players, including Angelo Esposito, went down with injuries.
Yep. He is back on a tryout
Newbury is a better skater than Dupont. That is the difference, that and the fact that Newbury is an excellent AHL player, Dupont, pretty average.its a shame that he only got 1 game in the NHL while bums like Newbury continute to get chances and take stupid selfish penalties.. so glad Newbury is gone.. such a very dumb hockey player..
