As of right now, Hemsky or Matt Read. If Read can get back to doing what he was doing before injury, he will put up some real solid numbers to end the season. Hemsky is playing great right now and staying healthy. Will say though, keep an eye on Drew Stafford. I have no rumors to link to or really anything to back it up, but I just have had a feeling the last couple years that there is a legitimate chance he ends up in Pittsburgh at the deadline (instead of someone like Iginla). If that happens he could do some real damage with Crosby, they played together in High School (was High School hockey, but he put up 88 pts in 45 gms one season and 116 pts in 65 games the next, so they clearly have some chemistry).

Thanks whatabout havlat? Do you see him doing something the rest of the way?

Keep an eye on Ruutu, I know I am. If he slots into the 2nd line with J. Staal and Skinner he could do some damage.

when is Ruutu expected back? if tonight il grab him right away.

Last I heard he was skating with the team again and isn't limited to wearing a non-contact jersey. All signs point to a return sometime this week/weekend.
