Impressed with Stralman

Good skater, solid with the puck and plays with great poise. He's pretty much a taller Ian White only a much better skater. Watching him play today against Boston there isnt any reason why this guy shouldnt make this team as I think he's already better then White, Gill and possibly Coliacovo.

Was hoping to see Kubina improve on his mobilty but he still looks slow as can be.

I don't think he's better than Carlo just yet, but he's certainly good enough to make this roster this season. Still, I'd rather ease him into the NHL and NA hockey, and I wouldn't be mad if he spent half a season with the Marlies first.

He impressed me the very first time I watched him play, and people just don't understand how good this kid is, and is going to be in the future.

This game he was great, he wasn't so good on Thursday though.

Lets wait and see how he looks in his 3rd game before we really start to judge

Ian White is one of the best skaters on this team, IMHO. Unbelievably deceptive and fast.

Ahh no Ian White is not a good skater and never will be.

I think Wozniewski has played very well too, he and Stralman should make the team if we carry 8 Defencemen...

The team though will probably either send Stralman to the Marlies or back to his Swedish club because he can be sent down on his contract and Harrison and Kronwall can't (I'm not sure of Kronwall's contract status, he may be able to be send down without clearing waivers)...

The battle for 8th spot probably will be between Harrison and Kronwall and one of these players will be the odd man out, unless a trade can be made and clear a little room for keeping them...

I can't see Harrison or Kronwall clearing waivers, without another team claiming them. We should trade, either or both of them for forward prospect(s) or draft choice(s)...
