I would echo this statement. The roster is pretty much good to go for the start of the season. All that is left is to find out which of the young guys are going to steal a job from a vet. Specifically Ortio. I don't think he will make it past waivers after what he showe d in the nhl last season.
I still check the Hamilton thread once in a while to confirm it wasn't a mass hallucination. Such a perfect trade to acquire a RD with top pairing ability who at 22 is essentially both a proven roster player and a prospect. Otherwise we were looking at signing a vet and waiting 3-4 years for our new d prospects to develop.
