Hawks Training Camp Roster Revealed

First:
2015-16 Training Camp Roster

Well, there are a few unwanted surprises there on defense.  Earlier today The Hawks revealed that Kyle Cumiskey, Lubomir Visnovsky and (gasp) Michal Rozsival would attend camp on Professional Try Out (PTO) deals.  Granted, the defense ranks are a little thinner than in previous seasons but, omigosh, if you're going to hedge your bets in case TVR and Rundblad cannot carry the mail I'm not sure if this is the direction to go.  I've had a sneaky, icky feeling that Cumiskey would end up in camp, likely on Quenneville's insistence.  I'm a little surprised that Visnovsky would choose to have a go at what will amount to a barely-above-minimum-wage gig but, desperate times and all that...  Assuming Visnovsky's head is reasonably clear I see he and Jan Hejda as the frontrunners in the 5-6-7D battle.

Continuing in the "please, no" vein, The Hawks' Back To The Future movement extends to the forward ranks, as well, with Jake Dowell and Tomas Kopecky also being invited to compete for a non-existent roster spot with Daniel Paille already in the queue ahead of them.

Finally, The Hawks' roster opportunities may have gotten a little smaller, too, as Patrick Kane is expected to attend camp.  For now.
