Some answers — Carlson is too young for the American League, so it’s back to Dale Hunter and the London Knights . . . although I gotta say, there are some folks I talked to in Hershey tonight who aren’t 100 percent convinced his return ticket has been purchased yet — he’s having that strong a camp with the Caps.
Cutta for sure would go back to Europe — the new Russian League most likely.

Chaos – that makes sense on the roster, I understand, and it makes sense since you guys have been right on top of the roster throughout camp and for that I thank you!
Any info you might get on Carlson or Cutta would be great. I know that neither of them were on John Walton’s listing potential Hershey players so I would not be surprised to see them go elsewhere.

Correction: Armadio is already lined out, but the font of his “44″ makes it hard to see. I just went to the table to add the line-through and it already had the tag for it.

@ Steckel, excellent questions and thanks for the correction to our ongoing roster updates. While nothing’s set in stone, Cutta would likely return to Europe if he doesn’t make the Caps’ roster.
Re: Carlson, good question, and one to which I don’t know the answer but will check… his progress may indicate a league promotion over the USHL but I admit I’m not sure where he’ll end up.

Where is Cutta likely to play if he does not stick in DC?

FYI – Greg Armadio’s number should be lined out of the current version of the roster (from 4:59).
If Carlson does not make the Caps, where will he likely play?

@ Goz, thanks for the compliment! Neuvirth’s 2008-09 season destination, at this point, is TBD — but his trade-injury-trade-injury pattern hopefully will not repeat itself.

So has it been determined where that puts Neuvirth? If he is the first one out of camp does it mean he will be the one loaned out to another AHL team? Maybe it is not a case of first out goes here etc., but you have to think that’s the case. How would you assess Bouchard? He looked good alongside Perreault in the rookie game, but of course it wasn’t an NHL game either.
Thanks keep up the awesome coverage

While it may be unbridled enthusasim, its also true. No team ever makes a run like the Caps did at the end of last season without having heart.
It also takes a goalie and skill players, I am aware of that. My point is that the Caps organization is putting it all together. They are on track.
For the record, when it comes to heart… I doubt many would rate higher than Quinton Laing.
