With a new coach and new goaltender(s), the more the players that attend full training camp and preseason the better. Because of this I'm not stressed one bit that Gio/Brodie/Hamilton/Backlund didn't make the cut.
That being said it's interesting that as of now the 2 D that did make the World Cup are 2 that will be fighting for the last 2 spots in training camp and preseason and would probably benefit most from being here. I'm sure they will still get a fair look and would be the favourites to make it but it interesting how that worked out.
Man I hope Wideman gets traded.
