RE 11-12: Corey Potter

Corey Potter is a modern Larry Mavety. If there are 180 NHL jobs available every game night for defensemen (and there are) then the odds favor him making an NHL team.However, teams gather then guard the rights of good defensemen and never let them go until they have to; so, at 27 years old, Corey Potter found a nice spot with an NHL team in need of players just like him. Plus, Tom Renney is familiar with his play. Corey Potter may or may not be a smart guy, but he made an extremely wise move when signing in Edmonton. NHL Prediction for 11-12: 25, 0-5-5 (.200) You really think he'll play 25 games? I think he'll play more but can't figure a way to get Andy Sutton off the roster. I think he has a chance to have a career in Edmonton. What makes him better than someone like Alex Plante? Foot speed, mobility, experience. Even if he's just Plante at 27 that's a better plan. He had a strong training camp last fall with the Penguins and was in the mix for a roster spot...
