    • Parting words:

    There has been a lot talked about young guys fighting for veteran’s spots whether it be Taylor Fedun on D, Stalock in net, or even the possibility of Goldobin playing for a few games in the NHL before the first year of his contract would become legit. Somewhere, Doug Wilson is chuckling to himself that his smoke and mirrors media spin of the “rebuild” looks like it’s actually becoming a reality. One thing though – for as much talk as he received going into training camp, is it just me or does it seem like Mirco Mueller hasn’t been talked about as much as you would have thought? Time will tell I guess…
