Well I’m hoping the teams play has simply been because of the will he or won’t he Forsberg stuff. Hopefully he can inject something into this team

So will he play on the road trip or wait until the 14th? I can’t decide if I want to see him on the ice as soon as possible or have his first game back be at the Pepsi Center.

Does he automatically get an A on his chest, or will they stick with current alternate captains?

Thanks for the info

After looking at this list of Defense Men, Bababouy thinks it looks like at the end of the season that Jonathan Ericsson might be the best available for the long term. In the short term, it doesn’t look like their is anyone that would be worth trading for. Bababouy appreciates you finding this article, Bababouy wouldn’t have found it on his own. He’s too lazy building PBJ sandwiches !
