I may have missed someone but I have a feeling it could be Di Giuseppe because of the uncertainty of Strome coming back and the loss of Theoret and Wigle in trades.

Hopefully Milne can help the Attack along with Gemel Smith to a deep playoff run. Would be nice to see another Stars prospect in the Memorial Cup besides Stransky.
it sounds like the ultimate choice is between molin or troock? if so, the no-brainer pick is molin. i liked both guys at the development camp, but molin impressed me more. this and the aforementioned performance at the wjc's.
(this must be a crazy deep keeper league if you're looking at these guys.)
Yeah it is, it's a 30-team-league with with a 53-player max limit with plenty of Finnish journalists and nerds. Good times, and yeah, it was pretty much that choice to make. Funny thing is I also have Larsen but he didn't cross my mind as Star really since he had been playing in Finland for so long. Thanks for the insight!
Bob McKenize confirmed on Twitter that Faksa/Ritchie will be at the Dallas camp. I believe physicals are tomorrow?? I would be surprised to see Faksa playing tonight.
The Waterloo beat reporter didn't have him arriving to Kitchener from Europe until Thursday. I imagine he was spending some time with family.
The same news source reported he was playing on the top line tonight before flying to Dallas tonight.
That is really weird. Our radio station (Whose anchour radio show host is Kitchener's play-by-play man) said that when Faksa arrived back in Toronto on Thursday he was sent right off to Dallas, and that Murphy and Gibson were both off to their respective teams this morning as they were both held back. Our TV station also reported this.
Brown's information prior this afternoon was vauge enough that it supported this. I wonder why things have changed so suddenly.
I don't think they'll fly out tonight. Game will be over at 9:30-10:00 PM EST, they'd have to drive to Toronto to fly out (Unless Dallas sent a charter to Breslau to pick up Faksa, which I doubt), which means that Faksa would be flying out after midnight at the earliest.
That is really weird. I hope Faksa is playing though. I don't think he's played a game in 8 or 9 days.
Plus, the report from Josh Brown around the trade deadline seemed to indicate they aren't exactly solid only Faksa at #1 center. He said they were looking for 1, and they could potentially even try Reider at center.
Stransky is looking good tonight. Made Dumba look silly with a dangle between the legs which Bartosak made a nice save on, also made an absolute beauty sauce pass from behind the net right on to Ferland's stick which he ended up missing.
The only thing that has not impressed me is his skating. It's not a huge problem but it could still stand to improve in order to bring his game to the next level.

Sounds similar to scouting report Corey Pronman just gave on Twitter:

#Stars prospect Matej Stransky is a really nice player.

@BigG44 good frame, protects the puck well, good puck posessor with a nice skill level. Still needs to work on his skating.
Thanks for the insight!
