Training camp has opened and roster spots are being fought for. We've been bringing you previews of the players expected to either be on the team when camp breaks or in the mix for one of the final spots. Today we're looking at a very maligned pair of defensemen.

Perhaps no signing was as unpopular last summer as Kyle Quincey. I expressed my thoughts on the matter thusly:
Signing Kyle Quincey is like striking out at the bar, going home, texting an old girlfriend, getting no response, then making out with a mop
