atlanta d-men:
havelid, hainsey, enstrom, exelby, klee, bogosian (valabik, oystrick for the extra d-man)
wolves d-men:
oystrick/valabik, kulda, sipotz, denny, lewis, lehman

also look for jordan lavallee and/or colin stuart to make the team too. just a hunch!!!

I get the feeling that LaVallee is going to make a name too. Stuart was pretty good in his callup so I could see that too. Personally, Id give yall Ex in exchange for Oystrick or Valabik. Ex seems to have gotten to the point where he feels his spot on the NHL club is secure and therefore he neednt work for it. Seems like he just gets caught way the hell outta position too many times and makes way too many bad passes. Im sure Valabik and Oystrick have that happen too at least some, but it almost seemed like Ex was trying to get us scored on...
