Wow. Surprised by Ruzicka. I mean, he wasn't great on the 4L but this still surprises me a little.

DeSimone? Should be Oesterle. I see today that Kylington & Oesterle were a pair at practice and so were Gilbert & DeSimone. I just assumed that meant Oesterle would be sitting. Guess not.

Ruzicka was always an interesting prospect, but even going back to his junior days the same complaints remain. The skill is there but the effort and compete is sorely lacking especially from a player trying to fill a bottom 6 role

I can see a team that has an open top 6 spot to take a chance on Ruzicka. Hard to pass on that size and skill combo

Someone might take a flyer on Ruzicka. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

Good. Hopefully Ruzicka can go somewhere else and carry on with his 50/50 effort.

Could definitely see Ruzicka getting claimed. Especially a team gutted by injuries.

They gave a couple cement shoes to Rosie and I guess he couldn't swim. Not sure how many would though.

Ruzicka will go somewhere and scores a hat trick on his first game

Then 3 goals on the next 100 like Jankowski and Colborne.
