Prout is probably gone and I'm 50/50 on Smith. If he pulls it together here we can run a 1a/1b with Rittich/Smith. Depends on both Smith and Gillies. Gilles looks pretty disappointing so far though. The big thing is I think Smith would sign a 1 year deal, which isnt a big deal if he doesnt work out next year. Where as an any UFA option is probably a multi year deal.

I actually really like Lomberg - little sparkplug that just blasts energy. However, Peluso is better at the job that is required, and IMO, is actually a better hockey player. I thought Peluso has played fairly well in his limited appearances - forechecks well, decent defensively, cycles well - every game he is in it seems that the 4th line has moments of hemming in the opposition.
