Saw the lastest insider report on the team web site and it shows that Bryce Lampman, Kyle Wanvig and Mathieu Darche have all been placed on waivers with the intent of sending them to Norfolk of the AHL. So what’s that mean? Well, it appears that the team will keep 21 players, and according to the web site, Doug Janik is the extra defenseman meaning that Matt Smaby and Mike Lundin are in the top six on the blue line. Interesting developments to be sure. Guess we’ll find out after we get to the rink for the morning skate…..

Here’s the 21
Vinny Prospal-Vinny Lecavalier-Marty St. Louis
Jan Hlavac-Brad Richards-Michel Ouellet
Andreas Karlsson-Chris Gratton-Jason Ward
Andre Roy-Craig MacDonald-Nick Tarnasky
Shane O’Brien-Filip Kuba
Brad Lukowich-Paul Ranger
Mike Lundin-Matt Smaby
Doug Janik
Johan Holmqvist
Marc Denis

Not convinced the D pairings will stay the same as above as I can’t think that Lundin and Smaby will be a paring, but we’ll have to see!
