While perusing Cap Friendly the other day I took a look at some of the players not currently on the Tampa Bay Lightning roster right now and realized that the Syracuse Crunch are likely to have a pretty intriguing, and young, defensive corps next season. Young, as in the oldest person that should suit up regularly is Trevor Carrick who is all of 28-years-old.
With some quick back-of-the-napkin speculating the pairs to start the season are likely going to be:
Sean Day (24) - Darren Raddysh (26)
Trevor Carrick (28) - Nick Perbix (24)
Ryan Jones (26) - Jack Thompson (20)
Also fighting for ice time will be a trio of youngsters in Declan Carlile (22), Tyson Feist (21), and Dmiti Semykin (22).
