That 9th spot is better used on a Zary, Pelletier, Klapka.
I hope it’s just a placeholder otherwise that’s disappointing.

This is kind of the same argument that had so many people pencilling in Pelletier solidly on the 3rd line before camp started. Mostly hope and great in theory, but Pelletier showed very little in preseason games. And that's all we could watch. The coaches saw all of these players in the drills, practices and scrimmages.
Sutter specifically said that Ruzicka was the player most ready for the NHL on the AHL squad last season. Maybe he's been passed maybe not. So what he's a centre. Sam Bennett played almost all of his time as a winger here in calgary and all of a sudden became the second line centre for the presidents trophy panthers last year.
