Outside Janko, Dube, Lomberg and Valimaki none of the kids are really making a strong case to crack the lineup.

Killington looks good, but he did make some boneheaded decisions too like that blind pass into the crease that almost ended up as a tap in. I still think he needs more time in the AHL.

Dube and Valimaki probably will get more out of additional seasoning, No point rushing them as they both project higher than where the obvious holes are in the lineup. I like Valimaki a lot better than Stone in the limited views I've had. It might be good for him to dominate in the CHL or AHL. I see Kulak getting the last spot on D in Calgary.

Janko might start on wing, to ease him in. I think there is nothing left for him to prove outside of the NHL. I think Mangiapane looks good because of Janko.

Lomberg, Hathaway and the PTOs are all interchangeable on the 4th line. I'd give the edge to Hathaway but he better be aware of the competiton.
