Macenauer scored 13 goals and 32 points in his first AHL campaign with the Syracuse Crunch. With a strong depth chart above him, he figures to return to Syracuse following training camp.
NHL Hockey Player News
All recent reports indicate Hiller looking sharp at practice, stopping numerous of the team's snipers point-blank. However, keep in mind he let in three goals on 12 shots in his only NHL game back.

The young Etem scored 45 goals and 80 points with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL. Considering he could play in Juniors for one more season and has not stepped on AHL ice yet, he would probably need to over-impress just to make the team.

Palmieri holds a decent chance of making the team after leading the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL in scoring last season. His breakout speed and nose for the net are only two NHL-ready qualities, the big question is playing time.

Vokoun should greatly benefit from winning more games. Despite a career .917 SV%, the Czech 'tender sports a 262-267-35-41 line.
Bitz could challenge for a roster spot on the fourth line. The Saskatoon native played in 87 games over three seasons between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers, scoring nine goals and adding nine assists.
Peckham finally stuck on the team following three separate stints with the big club. In his second full season, the Richmond Hill, Ont. native will play a more efficient game with an increased fitness level.
A fitter Eberle should, in theory, produce more on the ice. Last season, Eberle only scored 11 points through his first 27 games which could have been a lack of preparation entering the season.

The former 9th overall pick remains one of the better defensive prospects in the game. His two-goal output could put him on the Sens' Opening Night roster.

Parse will only have limited fantasy value as long as the current top-six forwards remain healthy. Considering Simon Gagne, Dustin Penner and Justin Williams are somewhat injury prone, he may pot 20 goals if able to suit up every night.
Regin scored 13 goals and 29 points just two seasons ago, so the offensive potential is certainly there. In theory, with a talented winger like Nikita Filatov on his wing, 20 goals and 20 assists could be more than attainable.

The former Brandon Wheat King could be better served on a young team without so many talented forwards ahead of him on the depth chart.

The native of Yugoslavia found himself in 19 games last season, scoring his first NHL goal. Expect him to find his way into the lineup sooner rather than later.
As a potential top-4 defender, Ericsson will need to step up at both ends of the ice. Should he succeed, he could find himself paired with Niklas Kronwall or Nicklas Lidstrom, which would certainly help his fantasy value. The 27-year-old scored three goals and 15 points in 74 games last season.

Yet another 'bruised' player following another day of scrimmages and training camp. Howard should be fine as the Red Wings rest him for the regular season.

Rallo is a longshot to make the team but could see some playing time due to injuries later in the season.

Reinprecht holds a $2.05 million cap hit which could guarantee he makes the team (in order to hit the cap floor).

With all of the Florida Panthers' offseason acquisitions, Esposito remains a longshot to make the team.

With a $6 million cap hit, the Preds certainly expect more from Erat. Following back-to-back 57-point campaigns, the Czech native posted at least 49 points over the past three seasons. If fully healthy, this top liners could be a nice sleeper pick.

Sounds like the Leafs will rely on Liles to be their main point producer. The 30-year-old defender established a career high in assists with 40 while playing for the lowly Colorado Avalanche.
