WBS Next Season

Post by thehockeyguru »

Who from the current WBS Pens roster do you see as a lock to make the big club in 2010?

Who are the potential new comers to the WBS Pens roster?

I dont know that there will be any locks for the big club but I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Lovejoy, Tangradi or Johnson all get extended looks and possibly crack the team

I would like to see Letestu get a shot.

Is Depres a lock to play for WBS?

I fully expect Lovejoy to be up with the big club next year. I don't think that Despres is eligible for WBS yet, though I'm not positive on that.

The most notable newcomer will be Nathan Moon... that is if the Pens sign him.

I don't think anyone is a lock, per se, to make the NHL Pens, but like ShipHockey7 said, several guys should get a long look in camp.

As far as newcomers from within the pipeline, Carl Sneep and Patrick Killeen are signed, though Killeen projects to start in Wheeling/Johnstown. If signed, Nathan Moon and Nick Petersen could see ice time in WBS. Despres is not yet old enough for the AHL.

We really need a few good drafts to restock the cupboards...

Have to be 20 for the AHL.
