which prospects to promote?

[fzusher]

In a keeper pool in which prospects are any player with less than 65 NHL games. Players on the prospect roster don\'t count against cap. Once a prospect is put on the active/bench roster, they must remain on active/bench roster and count against cap.

I have at 3-4 forward spots and maybe a D spot to fill on my active roster. Must submit my final roster by Thursday evening, so I can\'t wait for Thursday cuts, and won\'t be able to change my lines until a week Sunday. Have no info on specific camps and player chances of making teams beyond what\'s on this site.

Which prospects would you promote out of the following, all of whom as far as I can tell are still in camps (key factors: likelyhood of starting the season with the team and likelyhood of sticking beyond the first 9 games; points a lesser consideration, though note that the pool rewards quite nicely for PIM)? Any info on these players\' chances of making their teams would also be great (I know Foligno is almost a lock, and fully expect to see him fight some Leafs Tuesday/Wednesday, but what about the others?):

F:

Foligno (Ott)
Paille (Buf)
Koci (Chi)
Nikulin (Ott)
Ruzicka (Phi)
Lindstrom (Clb)
Conner (Dal)
Rypien (Van)
Vrana (NJD)

D:

Finger (Col)
Belle (Min)
Borer (Car)

thanks

I think Koci has a good chance to play in CHI and rack up ungodly penalty minutes. After that it\'s slim pickings to make the big club. Maybe Paille or Foligno.
