Well, I was thinking Trevor Gillies might get a shot in Anaheim, but it looks like he’s going to have to compete with Kip Brennan now. I was thinking that with Gillies getting dealt out there earlier in the week, they were going to roll the dice on Trevor being able to stay at the NHL level, and worst case, they would have a very capable young man protecting farm hands in Portland. Now it would seem the Ducks are looking to have a couple of Heavies slug it out in camp for the role in the show. Kip Brennan is no stranger to the AHL either, having racked up 854 PIMS in 152 Games in the American League. I am not sure they will be able to keep both guys, and Kip would appear to be the favorite to stay in the NHL, but it sure will be an interesting Camp.

Anaheim already picked up Todd Fedoruk. They also acquired Travis Moen, who isn’t a heavy, but is certainly willing. Gillies chances of making the team were slim before, they’re even slimmer now.
I was saying the same thing last night, and now with the addition of Brennan, I would say they are gone. Should be a hell of a camp though eh?
