Re: Jersey??
Martin, Michalek, Letang, and Orpik will certainly man the top 2 defensive pairs, but with all the turnover on the blueline the last couple of years (losing Gill, Scuderi, Eaton, McKee, Leopold, etc.) we need Goligoski back there to pair up with Lovejoy now. We don't want two brand new inexperienced AHL call-ups on our blueline this year (even though Alex is young, he has sufficient experience to be somewhat of a steadying force there, and he could still contribute on our 2nd power play unit). I don't think they move him until Simon Depres is ready to step in, which is likely in another year or two (all reports are that he's been quite impressive in juniors last year after we drafted him).
