The obvious choice would be Theo Peckham (better overall fit for the Quinn Oilers) but his injury pre-TC set him back and he's just seeing Triple A game...

Forward Evaluations: Week 1
It's early but I would like to share my player evaluations so far.Shawn Horcoff: He's had an admittedly slow start to the year. I have noticed that both he and Hemsky have not been able to get in sync. It is popular opinion that having Jacques on the line is part of the problem; however, I tend to think where Hemsky goes this line goes, and he has not been going anywhere...

Promise
I was at the game tonight, interesting to read the comments below and compare them to my own opinion from the night's events. It was a tough loss, but here are some observations:None of the skills forwards (to my eye) looked like they had their "A" game tonight. Hemmer scored a goal and maybe that's a sign and the others had moments but none of them were consistently...
