I never liked Ondrus before, but he has made some good smart plays and will be nice to seee on the 4th line. Decent speed, works well with Storts, seems like a good team guy.

Does ONdrus need to clear waivers?

Can i trouble anyone for a list of players who need to clear waivers if re-assigned?

Bang on assessment!
I like what he brings to the table, but it will be easier for Jones and JFJ to make the team. I can see Reddox doing better with Stortini and Fraser than Omark, just because that’s more his game.

Side note: Omark is fun to watch but he clearly needs time in the AHL.

He could be our Pisani replacement.

Shawn Belle has looked pretty good too. Like Racki said, it really is fantastic seeing so much competition for so many roles, it feels like a long time since it’s been that way in this organization. I guess because it has been a long time, lol.

At the very least, OKC should have a great inaugural season.

Giroux… I kind of have him as a dark horse though… but he’ll almost likely go down, like you said. But I kind of wonder though, if he has a couple of good games, maybe that changes.

My thoughts are bang on with O’Marra.. he’s just seeming like he doesn’t care.

Stewart I’ve been really impressed with too. Not sure about Ondrus, as I haven’t watched him closely enough. But those guys (and even Giroux) I’m certain were claimed for the farm team.

But hey, nothing like a little healthy competition… in all roles. We’ve got top offensive guys competing for jobs, we got pluggers competing for jobs, and we’ve got d-men competing for jobs. Petiot and Plante were pretty damn impressive last night, imho. This all is good to see. However there are some obvious choices for sending down, which isn’t so nice to see. But some guys that aren’t ready now might be in another year or two, so I’m not worried.
