``I based everything on camp,’’ Trotz said. ``Joel Ward without question deserves to start with us and deserves to open the season based on his camp.

Radek Bonk: 2008-9 Forechecker’s Forecast

Today’s installment of the Forechecker’s Forecast brings us to Radek Bonk, the veteran center who was acquired last summer to be “
a big, experienced center that can play the shut-down defensive role and also fill in in more offensive situations,” as GM David Poile said at the time. Since Bonk did a solid job in that role with the Montreal Canadiens for the first two years following the Great Lockout, there was reason for optimism that 1994’s #3 overall draft pick would be the perfect fit to round out a center position that already boasted Jason Arnott, David Legwand, and Scott Nichol.
