Oddly enough, Ryan Smyth almost worked his way back onto the team with a hell of a year before getting hurt.
Mike Green has to be on the team, though. None of the TSN guys put him on there. Both Green and Keith have to be there... It's between Seabrook, Bouwmesster, and Weber for the final 2 spots. No Dion.
As far as longshots... how about Scott Hartnell? If there's one thing that lineup is missing, it's that big body for the PP, and Hartnell is just that. The team invited Lucic to camp, but Hartnell's the better player right now. He's already got 6 PPG... though that's his entire goal output so far.
Actually, for that matter, what about Dustin Penner? He's been even better, in all aspects of the game. He's on a 44 goal pace right now. Quite frankly, that'd be a solid choice if they're looking for a hot hand.
Scott Hartnell is way too inconsistent. He'll score a hat trick and a couple of goals in a week, and then disappear for long, long stretches of time. I'd take Doan over him in less than a heartbeat. And Rick Nash is still a pretty big body for the PP.
Ryan Smyth was definitely having a hell of a year, and he would have been a PP guy. Not sure what being hurt will do to his chances.
St. Louis over Perry. Perry might be bigger but St. Louis does more on the ice.
I still like Vinny Lecavalier even though he's struggled this year. He comes up big.
