Too bad we couldn't give them both Jones and Raymond.

I like that we opened up a few forward spots over the past week or so. Time to bring up some guys to audition for the remaining 20 games.

Gotta say, I would think the rental of Jones is worth more than just a 6th round pick

Which components?

Its basically useless orward for useless goalie, but useless forward will play some minutes.

Yeah, Backstrom is just a salary dump for Minnesota.

We might give him an audition, but I doubt he is in the long term plans.

and allows our farm hands a number of spots on the roster to audition for. Give them a taste and we should see a big off season from some of them who believe they can take a spot.

Upward pressure from the prospects is a good thing.
