Now this is where its a total crapshoot.
Horak - hasn't proved yet that he belongs with the big club
Monahan - Hope he lights it up but I think Ottawa is good for his development
Knight - i think he needs more time but will be called up later on
Begin - One year older and will spend half the year in the pressbox (Edit: I guess he's down in Abby)
Bouma - I believe this is Bouma's year to make an impact.
Without any injuries I would say that Jones has a great chance to stick with the team. Who knows what version we will get but I think so far there are more question marks with Monahan and Knight then with Jones.
I think it goes like this....
Begin splits playing duties with Mcgrattan and B. Jones
Bouma plays all year
Monahan plays 9 games and is sent back to Ottawa
Knight is sent down, recalled for injuries
Horak centers the 3rd or 4th line unless he is beat out by Monahan
This is how is see it for the first part of the season...
Glencross - Stajan - Cammy
Galiardi - Backlund - Stempniak
Baertschi- Horak - Mcgrattan
Jackman - Bouma - D. Jones
Reinhart - B. Jones
And when injuries happen....start the fun!
