I did have the same thought about Simon Gagne a few times too. But that's just a weird coincidence. Never got them confused. Just figured Sam kind of drifted away a few years ago but apparently he's been kicking around.
Oh wow. 1000 nhl games and just 11 in the playoffs. Bad luck.

These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
I would be shocked, astonished, flabbergasted, befuddled, gobsmacked and crapping myself all at once if that happened. It would be like the first time since Point we had a forward just skip the Syracuse program.
I am not betting on it. The odds of Geekie making the day 1 team and sticking around is probably single digits

You're talking like it's an active coaching decision to hold prospects down, the reality is we've had no one good enough since Point to even be worth a discussion.

No shit dude.... that is all but expressly implied. You really can't help yourself can't you?

Since neither Glendening nor Ace are likely to go on ltir to begin the season, there's basically one spot for a F. Brown was looking good, but is now once again injured. Maybe he goes on ltir if he's offered a contract, but I kind of doubt he stays. Depending on Goncalves' injury, he'd probabaly be the front runner for the last spot, but Geekie may have passed him. However, with Tampa rarely having prospects bypass Syracuse, and not wanting to place Geekie on the 4th (and probabaly not greatly positioned on the 3rd either), will Cooper give him a top 6 or even top 9 spot right away? If not, he'd be better served to play 15-20 games on the Crunch's 1st line and then get called up if he thrives. I'd still say the last spot is either Goncalves or Ylonen due to the injury to Brown, with Geekie still in the mix as well.

Opening night is a few days away, but this is essentially the final camp cut. We have 14 "healthy" forwards, including Glendening and Eyssimont.
Now they just have to worry about every day for the rest of the season.
The Crunch play their second preseason game today at 3. We'll see if they hit the road early.
