I haven't heard any reports on Lyle or Aspirot but their numbers are OK.
sure, especially with only sitting at 43 contracts (might also allow them to try and sign a college UFA or two), I'm sure there'd be players coming back. In the end, I think you're right that the question of having either DeSimone or Oesterle will matter very little, but in isolation, I think DeSimone is easily the better defenseman, plus a righty to boot. That's why it's still a bit disappointing to see him get waived and claimed while Oesterle stays, but it is what it is.
