Hopefully they can be good enough to snag a wild card spot. Really depends on consistency, Demko's health and whether guys can rebound(Garland, Beauvillier) or develop(Hoglander, Rathbone, Podz).

Pretty sure that Pearson was said to be getting ready for training camp, and not LTIR.

I agree, it'll be interesting to see if a full season under Tochett can help, along with some of the additions on d I think a wildcard spot isn't out of the realm of possibility. They desperately need the young guys to take a step (Hoglander, Rathbone, Podz).

That's good news hopefully that's the case for his sake. Last time I checked he was on LTIR.
