Sent down Andersson, McLean and (unfortunately) Babchuk. Kojo sent to the WHL.

Kukkonen and Moen make the team

I'm not happy with Babchuk being sent down. Unless someone is being traded and he will be bought up after that.

What are the anticipated opening night lines?
Did Ruutu/Radulov/Vorobiev impress in preseason?

How do you think is there possibility that Hawks will let Babchuk to go to the WJC since he didn't make the Hawks roster?

Yeah. Nemo is the third. Hopefully he plays good and shows that he is an NHL player. He looked great in the practise games before the world championships and IMO looked like one of the best wingers behind Selänne but still didn't make the team.

I don't know about lines, but it's quite likely that Nieminen sees fourth line duty. Radulov and Vorobiev both made the team and that makes it pretty crowded for him. He played well, and Sutter likes to juggle lines quite a bit. I'm sure he'll see third line duty, but unfortunately I don't think we'll use him like he should be.

"Lets keep in mind though that the Blackhawks roster stands at 24 players. There is still one more cut that needs to be made, unless somebody is going on injured reserve."

Who is this going to be?

The rumors in town are saying that Vandy will be cut. Korolev is still on the team and dear god let it be him, but Smith already paid him 1.7 mil to play in the AHL last year. He seems to be balking at doing it again. It's certain that none of the rookies will be cut. Strudwick and Moen have made it as our two "tough guys." That leaves Vandy as an odd man out.

Korolev has been placed on waivers.

(refresh if it doesn't work the first time)

That doesn't mean that he's been sent to Norfolk, though.

What do you think of the following lines?...

Calder Zhamnov Radulov
Daze Ruutu Sullivan
Bell Arnason Vorobiev
Strudwick Nichol Nieminen
(Moen, VandenBussche)
