He told us that it will take at least a month to get Filatov in the States, about two weeks to process the visa, and then another two to three for the interview process.By the way, LTL, nice to meet you today, finally, at the camp.

I will definitely throw something together over the next couple of days.<BR/><BR/>I think if Filatov doesn't stick this year and he has the kind of talent that has been reported its going to damn hard to keep him off next year's squad.<BR/><BR/>Tom if we could get that kind of production out of our top 6 we are playoff bound. Those numbers certainly aren't out of the quesiton we just need our boys to stay healthy.<BR/><BR/>I just got back from the scrimmage as well and will throw a post up. Big T is absolutely right though - Brassard was a man amongst boys out there.<BR/><BR/>-LTLLTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817321633985765198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-22999320584838537662008-07-10T12:51:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:51:00.000-04:00Just watched the scrimmage.

He controlled every shift he had and looked very comfortable playing with Voracek{who also looked very good} His vision and puck control are outstanding. He also looks to be a much stronger skater, and bigger than last year. He also can skate hard a long time without getting winded. He was the last one off the ice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-41517258377943578872008-07-10T12:49:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:49:00.000-04:00Todd- Methinks...Nash 55-28-83Umberger 23-43-66Hus...Todd- Methinks...<BR/><BR/>Nash 55-28-83<BR/>Umberger 23-43-66<BR/>Huselius 28-34-62<BR/><BR/>Torres 18-22-40<BR/>Brassard 17-32-49<BR/>Modin 26-22-48<BR/><BR/>Voracek (for Torres) 22-34-56tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364697049170833253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-54321009874957877962008-07-10T12:13:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:13:00.000-04:00The plan is to have Peca step in to the #2 slot if...The plan is to have Peca step in to the #2 slot if Brassard isn't ready.

It doesn't look like Howson is going to add another forward so who gets the nod if Brassard isn't ready? Peca? Can Modin or Torres play center? The only other option would be Novotny I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-87670593704618525332008-07-10T10:59:00.000-04:002008-07-10T10:59:00.000-04:00LTL,I completely agree with your assessment of the...LTL,<BR/><BR/>I completely agree with your assessment of the upcoming talent, specifically the Russians. I am really curious what Howsen has to say about the legal issues regarding some of these upcoming Russians.. I really want to have Filatov compete for a spot on the CBJ roster no matter how unlikely he is to make it. You agree that Filatov is very likely to make it in the 09/10 season ?? Furthermore considering some of the holes in our lineup, and the flexibility we have with the 3rd and 4th line, which Rookies do you expect to see in the 08/09 lineup?? I guess Brassard is a given, although I am not sure if he’s ready. Could I perhaps propose a future article on all the talent in the pipeline and their chances of making it to the big club this upcoming season??<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Erik.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
