He was demoted later in the year. Anyway, not wanting to argue. I agree with you that prospects earn spots and make vets redundant, I just think the rookie steals job from vet at camp scenario is a bit of a myth. At best they solidify their position in the call up pecking order.

I'm excited to see the camp battles this year. I think Chiasson is a lock but for a scoring role or a checking role? If he gets a scoring role then Hathaway is pretty much a given and Tkachuk, Shinkaruk, Pribyl, maybe Jankowski or Porier will fight for the other scoring role. Otherwise Chiasson takes the 4th line and those 3, 4 or 5 prospects fight over two scoring spots. Assuming no more pickups.
