Chatting With Craig Custance

Craig Custance of ESPN participated in an online chat today..

Who do the Bruins trade? If Krug and Smith aren't signed before training camp starts are they allowed to attend training camp?

Craig Custance Asked a GM who he thought was the most likely to get traded and he said Boychuk or Bartkowski. Boychuk makes the most sense to me. Clears $3 million plus and is a UFA after this season. And Krug and Smith gain nothing by coming to camp without contracts. Not worth the injury risk when you're negotiating a deal.

I'm having a hard time figuring out Central. If St. louis and Chicago are given, and Wild makes it, Dallas makes it, and increfibly enough Nashville makes it, Colorado is the odd team out. Do you see this happening?

Craig Custance I'm learning towards five teams from the Central getting in but I'm starting to think Vancouver makes a surprise playoff appearance which would give me four Central playoff teams. If I have to pick between Colorado, Dallas and Nashville for the final spot, I'm picking the Avs.
