I could also drop Tootoo, but he has done good for the Predators lately. What do you think?

I would also look at those 2, but i'd let Tootoo go. He's a depth winger. If i'm not mistaken, he doesn't get PP time. I think you would also have better odds of getting him back than Whitney.

Thanks for you input. I am considering the exact move you said just not sure about the idea of having 8 Dman on my roster?

Anyone else? Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you want to keep Tootoo and mot have 8 dmen, i'd probably let Spurgeon go. He'd be your least offensive weapon from the backend. And although young, Min has a few young defensemen that could easiky push him down the depth chart.
Whitney is an injury wairing to happen. But if he puts together a healthy season and you let him go, you'll be sick as Edm could be very explosive when they put it together.

This is exactly my thinking. I am worried that if I drop him he will decide to wake up and I will regret that move. Between that and the way that Tootoo is playing I think I will take my chances for now and keep what I have. I like Spurgeon as well. He has still been getting big minutes, top PP time with Zids back.
