Yeah, Rheault has been sorely missed by the team. He was on a line with Walter and Kolanos and they were essentially the backbone of the offense. They worked so well together.

Ward was saying on "Wednesdays with Ward" that Rheault is one of their best conditioned players (as evidenced by the results of the off-season physicals), so he is ahead of schedule with getting into shape for games.

As for Laing, the guy's a true leader. He's always talking to the guys out there and is always one of the most physical players out there. Also, now that Bouma's gone, he's probably the Heat's best shot blocker as well.
