08:32 AM ET 08.09 | Though Zbynek Michalek is out in Pittsburgh and speculation swirled that Paul Martin would be, too, the latter remains on the roster. A bevy of young defensemen will compete for at least one spot on the opening-night roster and maybe two, pending a decision to carry seven or eight rearguards. The obvious favorite is Simon Despres, who impressed in 18 games for Pittsburgh last season and could be ready for 18-20 minutes per night immediately. Other candidates include summer additions Brian Dumoulin and Dylan Reese, top prospect Joe Morrow and "veterans" Brian Strait, Robert Bortuzzo and Carl Sneep. ... If GM Ray Shero were to trade for a veteran defenseman, expect a name or names from that group to be part of the package to get a deal done.

I think PGH should trade their sloppy D seconds to PHI. Keep it in the PA family as it were.

While it's a perfectly acceptable for us Danny when posting for our American friends might I suggest you use defense.

please don't feel that all of us here in the US cannot make the distinction sir(s)
Granted, my Scottish heritage and upbringing affords me the ability to use and indeed translate english as written by those in The Dominions. And has been established, these threads contain a higher level of understanding (for the most part, a few rubes always seem to find their way in) than do those from the other sports.
So feel free to colour the words however you like, we take no offence.
