I really hope Smith gets the call if there is an injury or some gets the flu for a short period of time, by the stats in Bingo and his camp in Ottawa, it seems as though he has earned a game or two and a little taste of The NHL. Look what happens when they gave Carkner a little piece of it last year... he ran with that ball.

I thought he'd be a Senator right now, but he seemed to put too much pressure on himself knowing he was so close to making the NHL. If he continues to play smart hockey, then I could also see him being a call-up, perhaps permanently if Murray goes for a Campbell style player - which I would still warn against right now.

Lee or Smith?

Neil is playing amazing right now and that 3rd line of Foligno/Regin/Neil is firing. Alfi/Fisher/Kovalev looks great, why on earth would you screw that up to get a fringe NHLer who is too small and timid to stick in The NHL in Shannon, going?

I know you like Shannon but he is not a top 9 guy in Ottawa and he cannot be a 4th line guy on any team on the planet, it's not how he plays.

Shannon has had all season for the most part to get going on the PP, time on the 1st line, and he has been put in that lineup when he really hasnt earned the right to actually stay in there.

The record with Donovan in the lineup is 5-1-0, without it's 0-1-2. Like I said, rolling 4 lines is what makes the difference in Ottawa right now, Shannon being in the lineup kills that ability.

Simply because I don't believe his latest concussion has rendered him useless. Last year our best line was arguably Foligno - Fisher - Shannon, why not give Foligno - Regin - Shannon a shot. You have speed, you have creativity, hopefully that would translate. Plus Shannon and Regin had awesome chemistry in Bingo - both playing at nearly a PPG pace when they were together.

Neil has finally realized what we need of him and he's playing lights out, I love it. But I think his style would still translate to a 4th line - with the proviso that if he continues to play well, he'll be used on the other lines after a PP or a PK.

Saying they were the best line last year isnt saying much... Fisher is on a PPG pace playing on that line with Kovalev and Alfi, pretty obvious you dont screw with that. Neil/Regin/Folingo are involved every game and always seem to show up on the score sheet somwehre. Dont touch it.

Shannon is not a top 9 forward in Ottawa. There isnt one player I would move in that top 9 to make room for Shannon, not one. Every other player has out played him, put produced him and brings something unique.

I cant stand Shannon on the 4th line because he is useless there.

Seriously dude, Shannon is nothing more then a fringe NHLer who has no spot in Ottawa at this point, not to mention concussion problems.

Yup, exactly who he reminded me of at the WJC without any of that professional seasoning. Not the best skater, not the most physical guy, not the biggest, but when the puck in on his stick something happens or it's in the back of the net.

Petersson is going to be a good NHLer and giving him 3 to 4 years to develope over in Sweden is going to be good for everyone involved. He will be in the top 5 in tournament scoring this year at The WJC.

Last year all he did was frigging score.

And 4 minutes in penalties. He's an animal. Winchester now has 2g, 2a in 3 games.

I saw that. I'd say the Rifle is ready for to come back and play NHL hockey.
