    Timra defenseman Dennis Persson had a short-handed assist in Timra’s 5-4 loss to Rogle.

    Nathan Gerbe scored his second goal of the pre-season as Buffalo cruised past Columbus, 5-2.

    I’m not Karnac, but I thought it would be a good idea to lay out some projection targets for the group of prospects this season. (Or perhaps I’m just getting a little cocky after nailing the Adam and Fienhage picks this summer.) Whatever the case, let’s put our forecasting cap on and see what the…

    As speculated, recently signed defenseman Dennis Persson will be heading back to the SEL in 2008-09 to play with Timra. It’s expected he’ll skate at least one full season in the top Swedish league before making a full run at a North American gig in the fall of 2009.
