I'd prefer Johnson, to be honest. I'm not incredibly familiar with either, but Johnson has pretty good speed and is known for being a pretty good penalty killer, I think.

Emmerton's done pretty good so far. Small sample size, I know. I;d rather keep a young, prospect we developed than a free agent, all things being equal.

Emmerton did look good.

I wonder who is coming out when Eaves can play?

Yea I was at the game yesterday and Emmerton looked solid. He was playing very smart in his own end, didnt turn the puck over and took advantage of his playing time..thats the most important thing for a young player.

I think when eaves gets back it will be swapping with miller,emmerton, or even homer..I think holmstrom playing on the 4th line shows that Babcock is slowly weening him out of PT. I wouldn't be surprised to see Babs treat homer like they did Maltby - rest him 1/2 games per week.

I think it will be Holmstrom. I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Babcock planned on Holmer playing around 60 games this season.
