Pure Speculation on Vorobiev and/or Ruutu

Part One: If you had to guess (and I'm asking you to), what percentage chance do you think Pavel Vorobiev and Tuomo Ruutu have of making the Hawks AND sticking with the big club the whole season?

Part Two: If they stay the WHOLE SEASON in Chicago how many goals and assists are each of them capable off of?

I'm hoping to hear from some fans who have been following training camp and preseason. Thanks in advance.

Ruutu has a 100% chance of making the team. He could put up 15 goals and 30 assists. Vorobiev's chances of making the team are pretty good. It wouldn't surprise me if he was sent down for a little bit though. Radulov may or may not make the team out of camp. If he doesn't but plays well in the AHL, he and Vorobiev could swap for a little bit. But Vorobiev seems to be ahead of him at this point. I'd say Vorobiev will play 75% of the time with the hawks. It's almost certain he'll bounce between almost all our lines though as that is Sutter's MO. Look for him to get 10 - 15 goals and 20 assists.
