Will Scottie Upshall Play?

Will we see him in the starting line up at the start of the season?

If so, with who and on what line?

How much point production do you see him having?

Thank you for any input you have.

I don't think we'll see much of him...he's pretty much been a passenger in the pre-season games.

I agree with preds man. Although he did get better late in the pre-season, it wasn't enough. If he does stay it will probably be 4th line duties.

AJ/Leggy/Walker
Harts/Arky/Orszagh
Rem/Johnny/Hall
Erat/Fiddler/Tootoo


Now they could move Rem to the 4th line center position which would free up the left wing on Johnny's line.

I agree, I'd say there's a good chance he'll get sent back down to the minors. He's still really young and his defense has not developed to the point where it would be worth it to have him on a 3rd or 4th line.

I like his skill, speed, and determination; he just needs to bulk up some more.

I'd take him over Fiddler any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

More upside but Fiddler's had a better camp. Trotz said just this a.m. that he expected more out of Upshall than he'd seen.

Agreed, Upshall has the upside. No one is going to argue that. But Fiddler has been the better player to date. I would imagine Trotz is/has been giving Scottie every chance to make the team. He hasn't taken the ball and run with it like he could have. I wouldn't be upset in the least if Fiddler takes the job as 4th line center.

Ya I agree. No doubt Upshall has a huge advantage over Fiddler as far as upside is concerned; however, Fiddler has looked good centering the 4th line for most of camp.

Guess I'm biased Fiddler just does nothing for me.

here's hoping Scottie gets extremely motivated and works his way back up ASAP.
