I have to agree. He is gone with Perrott. Belak is just too undisciplined and is tooc crappy on defense to consider him worthwhile as a platoon player.

Awesome little trade for Perrott - nice move Penney. Also, I really like his little Farkas for Holden trade too. FA pick up of Centomo and Barrett - also very nice.

Mosjis for Leeb - not nearly as good though.

Seriously this is very interesting - Fitzgerald, Green, Reichel, Stajan -- how will this all play out?How are they going to dump Kidd?

Another good FA pick-up.

Sounds like Colaiacovo,Stajan & Perrott really want to make the big squad.

According to the announcers it was Belak's lack of footspeed that led to the goal as he couldnt get back in time and Jackman failed to pick up the extra man. Someone who actually saw the game rather than listened it to it will be better able to describe what happened.

I saw the goal. Jackman was playing it like a 2 on 1 with Belak coming in trying to cover the guy who ended up going in alone. Wasn't Jackman's fault. To be honest it didn't even look as though Belak was trying very hard to get his man. I know his speed is suspect, but he was coasting.

Not that it mattered I suppose. It was only pre-season, but still.

I would like to believe that you are correct here but I'm skeptical that Quinn will let Belak go. He seems to value him for his ability to play both forward and D.

I hope they find a way to keep Perrott. I have been a fan of his since he played for the Generals. He can score some and he plays this way all year long. It's not just a show to get noticed at camp.

Still I'm skeptical. They should certainly at least protect him ahead of Reichel and his big contract.
