I'm with Sutter on the prospects at camp. Most of them were disappointing and a few were just OK, but not good enough to beat out any vets. If it was a rebuilding team with low expectations, you could argue for air dropping a couple into the line-up and develop them that way, but that isn't this team. My only hope is that they constantly re-evaluate the players on the Wranglers and if any look like they are more prepared now, call them up. Especially if the veterans aren't showing up.

Another loss tonight, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Sutter healthy scratch a big name for the next game.
