Martin Skoula will be joining the team this weekend on a tryout agreement. He'll be battling the likes of Sigalet, Roy, Clitsome and Holden for the number 7 defenseman spot. He checks in at 6'3" 226. He had 4-12-16 with Minnesota last season, but wasn't offered a contract this summer. He was previously on a tryout with Florida before they signed Dennis Seidenberg.

Before Skoula came into the picture, who had the advantage of making the roster between Roy, Sigalet, Clitsome, and Holden?

my guess would be Clitsome. Holden has been out with mono.

I would agree, I think with Holden out, Clitsome has been the best of that bunch. Truth be told, Moore has been the best blueliner in camp, but if he’s not in the top six he won’t be staying.

I was listening to the game yesterday and during the 1st intermission they were talking with Howson and he said Moore was the biggest surprise in camp so far. He was pleased with how well he moved the puck offensively. For a minute I got very excited at the idea that maybe there’s a chance he sneaks onto the roster, then I was reminded that he is only 19. We might see him sooner than we think though, as long as he keeps progressing.
