Left Wing --
Locks:
Trevor Gillies, Alexandre Giroux, Garth Murray, Chad Wiseman
Bubble:
Robin Big Snake, Lucas Lawson, Craig Weller
ECHL Bound:
Skinny: Returning
AHL all-star Chad Wiseman, along with NHL rookie Garth Murray and promising Alexandre Giroux
look to be the locks on the left wing. Gillies will remain on the roster as an enforcer
and could play either wing or defense if called upon.
Intriguing prospect, Robin Big Snake will be looking to earn a pro contract or return to
Portland of the WHL.
Lawson will need to find room on a crowded roster or both return to the ECHL, while Weller
has plenty of competition and may either end up on the bench or back in the ECHL.

Center
--
Locks:
Blair Betts, Dwight Helminen, Dominic Moore
Bubble:
Ryan Hollweg, Marcus Jonasen, Layne Ulmer
ECHL Bound: Morten Ask, Kevin Cooper
Skinny:
The center position is proving to be a little crowded and we may very well see one or
more of the centers moved to wing in order to fit on the roster. Marcus Jonasen will
more than likely return to Tri City of the WHL, but will get a solid look while Hollweg and
Ulmer appear to be the most likely candidates for a league or position change.
An ECHL All-star last season, Ask looks all but certain to return to the league this year,
though it will be to Las Vegas where he is currently under contract. Likewise for
Cooper, a division III college standout with Middlebury who signed an ECHL contract with the
Pee Dee Pride.

Right Wing --
Locks:
Jozef Balej, Ken Gernander, Jed Ortmeyer
Bubble:
Brandon Cullen, Ryan Cuthbert, Lee Falardeau, Michael Henrich, Juris Stals, Joe Tallari
ECHL Bound:
Mike Wirll
Skinny: With Hugh Jessiman electing to stay on at Dartmouth and
Jozef Balej perhaps electing to go to Slovakia for the season, the right wing position
appears to be one of the weakest on the team.
If Balej stays, he will get much of the first line duty, with Gernander and Ortmeyer
providing veteran and defensive support. There exists probably one more spot (or two if
Balej leaves) on the roster and the likes of Cullen, Cuthbert, Falardeau, Stals and Tallari
(if signed) will attempt to win it.
Cuthbert might have an edge if Balej leaves, while Falardeau offers size and the option of
playing at center also. Henrich will be playing for a contract and will need to show
something if he hopes to stay, though his connection with Sather may buy him some time (he
was a 1st round pick of the Oilers in 1998)
Mike Wirll figures to return to the ECHL once again.

Defense --
Locks:
Martin Grenier, Maxim Kondratiev, Bryce Lampman, Jeff MacMillan, Lawrence Nycholat, Thomas Pock, Fedor Tyutin
Bubble:
David Liffiton, Jake Taylor
ECHL Bound: Ryan Glenn, Steven MacIntyre, Rory
Rawlyk
Skinny: It's a crowded blueline for the Pack at the moment, but
there's a chance that Kondratiev will return to Russia if he decides to exercise his
"out" clause 30 days into the season.
Pock and Nycholat figure to be the offensive specialists on the blueline, along with
MacMillan while Lampman, Tyutin and Kondratiev (if he elects to stay) to provide the
steadiness.
Grenier, Gillies and Weller could find themselves splitting time between forward and the
blueline, with the latter two perhaps more likely to move up.
Liffiton needs to outplay one of those in front of him to take a spot, something that is not
out of the question, but given the depth he may start the season in Charlotte. Taylor
too will find it hard to crack the line-up and may be best suited for the ECHL at this stage.
MacIntyre and Rawlyk both figure to return to Charlotte, and Glenn (if he signs) will more
than likely join them.

Goaltender --
Locks:
Dan Blackburn, Jason Labarbera, Stephen Valiquette
Bubble: None
ECHL Bound: Mike Ayers,
Randy Petruk
Skinny: With Dan Blackburn's health questionable and the departure
of Phil Osaer, the Pack will more than likely go with the same pairing they ended last season with.
The
AHL MVP, Labarbera is likely to begin the season as the starter with Valiquette serving as
backup, with Ayers and Petruk heading south.
