Very well could be, but it is next to impossible to project until the rules come out on the years pro clarification. I just think that LV will load up on D and G to the extent they can and then use those assets as trade bait, rather than pick what might be a fairly marginal pro in Shinkaruk or Poirier. Ferland I think will be in play to be sure. Of course, all depends on performance next year.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
