Michalek is experiencing headaches per Scanlan, but they appear minor, so a week or two I would imagine.
It's really only Puempel and Lehner who are weeks away, so reinforcements are coming - as long as they don't mess with chemistry etc.
From where?
What do you mean? From MacArthur coming this weekend or next week and Michalek probably coming back next week as well.
Also let's not forget Neil, Prince, some college player we'd never heard of, Harpur/Guptill once their season is done, the Swedes, Da Costa (Gagarin Cup is half-way through the semis).
You're out to lunch with most of this. "Some college player we'd never heard of", Harpur/Guptill, and "the Swedes" will not have an impact for us this year. Too many guys ahead of them. Da Costa would be an interesting option, but once we're back at full health, I don't see him really fitting in either.
Well, it *is* the lunch hour. The "guys ahead of them" are MacArthurd, Neil, Prince. Sorry, I messed up and said Guptill when I meant Nick Paul. Don't think any other B-Sen forward is ready for the NHL so saying "some college player" is quite valid. It was also just a throwaway line of sorts.
