I predicted Wiercioch and Benoit would be exposed... so far it looks like I'm wrong.

Some guys here think Zibby can step into the NHL now.. I'm not so sure.
AHL? Biggest reason is probably that he hadn't been playing for half the season, and had just came back when the CBA was signed. Had the season started as scheduled, he surely would have been an invite to camp at minimum.

I'm not saying he's ready, or that he isn't, just that the circumstances would have made it extremely difficult to justify giving him a shot in a shortened season.
