Losing the 1st round pick sucks, but I’m comfortable with the amount of talent we have coming up in Rochester already. We also picked up defenseman Timo Helbling from Washington. I’m guessing he’s the guy headed to Rochester.

is anyone scared of pittsburgh now? before i wasn’t so much because they are such a young team, but they made some awesome deals with laraque and roberts. i think they are going to pass nj in the standings. ---

So how does this work? Do they put the new backup goalie on a plane for toronto tonight to sit on the bench incase they need him, or does a rochester goalie come and sit on the bench? How soon until they dress zubrus?
