No surprises as the first slice of cuts are made. I think Klassen and Weise will make the big boys next year ... sad to see Maccarone's mustache leave town though:

This is probably a dumb question but, in the case of a guy who's obviously not going to get a spot on the team this season, what is the point of even bringing him to training camp? Is it so the coach can see a bit of what the guy has, in case he needs to make a call up? I would think he has other people in the organization to keep up on that type of scouting, no? I mean, the 2 extraneous goalies are a perfect example. Neither goalie is going to be taking Hank's job away, nor Valley's, realistically, so, why bother? It's probably less cut and dry for forwards and d-men, but, to a certain extent, isn't it the same for some of those guys too?
I had to admit I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by Big Brent, and think he at least warranted consideration for a mid-season injury call up role.
Pete - its for the organization to see where they players stand at the start of the season - help show the players what they need to work on, where to focus in the season going forward ...
I guess that makes sense. Any thoughts of if Sanguinetti is going to show enough promise tonight to mak the jump?
I don't think Bobby will but who knows. As bad as Torts' workouts have been, only Bobby has really complained about it. The other guys are just working through it. That isn't quite endearing ... how he plays tonight will be quite telling though.
Zipay reported from the skates this morning and has a feeling Bobby won't be playing tonight. The most we stand to see is Heikennen.
