Schremp Turns Head on Day 1

Rob Schremp was a first round draft pick and an OHL AllStar. Now, he's a top minor league scorer. Out of the top 10 scorers in the AHL Schremp was the youngest. But is he ready to take the step to the NHL. Since being drafted he's played a grand total of three NHL games. This season, there seems to be one or two openings in camp. A 3rd/4th line slot. Or a seat in the pressbox. I have pencilled in Potulny and Pouliot as the 2 forwards to fill that role. And if the Oilers wish to carry 14 forwards and 3 goalies, they can only carry 6 defenceman. All of which, who have to clear waivers except Ladislav Smid. Which may give me an impression of a new lineup:

Cole-Horcoff-Hemsky
Cogliano-Gagner-Nilsson
Penner-Schremp-Pisani
Moreau-Brodziak-Pouliot
Stortini, Potulny

Visnovsky-Staios
Gilbert-Grebeshkov
Souray-Strudwick

Garon
Roloson
Deslauriers
