Not Typical Nike Quality
"I am so disappointed with these flip flops. They are good in gripping the ground around a wet surface (ie. pool) but are too flexible. They catch the ground quite a bit when I am walking and a find myself tripping on them. The size is dead-on, but these flip flips still feel like they are a bit loose."

"A good flip flop for transitioning from athletic shoes to an airier option for when just finishing a run or coming off the tennis court. Lightweight. Not totally flat and has a little support. A little squeaky sound with each step. Definitely not a quiet shoe, but I'm hoping that will work itself out once I put a little more wear on them. Good brand, good price."

Mix up the choices! Try pineapple and green bell pepper with a pepperoni pizza snack for a Hawaiian kabob, or zucchini and an olive with a cheese pizza snack for an Italian kabob.
Assemble the kabobs and store covered in refrigerator. Just before serving, brush with dressing; bake as directed.

- About Plattsburgh
Sydney Aveson, Expeditionary Studies
SUNY Plattsburgh's women's ice hockey team is what originally sparked my interest in the school, but the Expeditionary Studies program (EXP) sealed the deal. When I transferred to Plattsburgh as an undergraduate to pursue a bachelor's degree in the program, it was a no brainer decision. I decided to pick up a double major in Psychology and I minored in Cultural Anthropology to complement my interest in adventure therapy.
Before I pursued my bachelor's degree in EXP, I had no camping, kayaking, climbing or skiing experience. I always knew that I would find a way to integrate sports into my career, but I wasn't exactly sure how. EXP broadened my athletic perspective, far beyond a competitive hockey aspect.
Now I have logged well over two hundred days in the field. I concentrated my studies in paddling and mountaineering. Over the past three years, I have sea kayaked in Maine, the San Juan Islands in Washington, the Outer Hebrides, and the Isle of Skye in Scotland, paddled alongside dolphins in Virginia, and marveled at the coves in Pembrokeshire, Wales. In addition, I spent my final semester abroad whitewater rafting in the Yukon and mountaineering in Alaska. There is so much more to explore!
My personal motto is "Excelsior," which is Latin for "Ever upward." Never have I been challenged more mentally, emotionally, and physically than in EXP, which is why I decided to pursue graduate work in the major.
One of my favorite experiences in the EXP program was when I taught adults with neurological and developmental challenges how to rock climb, canoe, and other outdoor skills, at the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Center. These individuals taught me more than I could have ever imagined. While working there, I saw the benefit of outdoor recreation as a therapy tool. This inspired me to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and attempt a circumnavigation of Newfoundland by sea kayak with my partner, Jonathan Trzepkowski.
A lot of people ask me about the job prospects in this field. Not everybody who graduates from EXP ends up doing the same thing. Some have gone on to work for the National Park Service, or outdoor rehabilitation programs. There are endless job opportunities and I have found that I have a surplus of job offers.
I am living my life motto. Can you say the same?
Catherine Caldaroni, Teaching and Learning
My name is Catherine Caldaroni and I am a student in the Teaching and Learning program at SUNY Plattsburgh's Branch Campus in Queensbury.
I have always known that I wanted to make a difference in this world, and in 2005 I took my first steps toward that dream by earning my Bachelor's Degree in Education. Since then I have been raising my three children and working as a substitute teacher. I am currently a Teaching Assistant in the Reading department at Lake George Elementary School. I love going to work every day and sharing my passion for reading with my students.
In the summer of 2013 I found myself at one of life's many crossroads. The need to continue my education was upon me and I had to take action. It was at that moment that I picked up the phone and dialed the Admissions Office at SUNY Plattsburgh. Several of the teachers I work with are graduates of Plattsburgh and my younger sister was a recent graduate as well. They spoke highly of their experiences in both the MSED and the MST programs. The fact that these recommendations came from some of the best teachers I know reassured me that I was making the right decision.
I entered this program with the hope of furthering my knowledge in the field of education. What I've gained has exceeded all of my expectations. I've been working with some of the finest professors I have ever had the pleasure to know. They genuinely care for me as their student and go above and beyond in helping me to achieve my goals. I want to work hard for them because it's obvious how hard they work for me.
The work that I began in my first semester set the foundation for all that has followed. The cohesion of each course has allowed me to create valuable, practical, and enduring work that will carry forward into my classroom. My confidence has grown under the guidance of my professors and the encouragement of my peers. My thesis research has allowed me to follow my passion in the field of reading and is not only beneficial to my growth as a professional, but to my colleagues as well. I'm able to share what I'm learning with them and apply it in practical ways to help our students.
When I do take a break from my coursework I enjoy spending time in nature and reading poetry. My favorite poet W.B. Yeats once said, "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking." This program has allowed me to take charge of my education and pursue my passions. I am a more confident and capable teacher today than I was yesterday.
Christopher Van Houten, School Psychology
Meet Christopher L. Van Houten, who entered the School Psychology (M.A./C.A.S.) program in 2008, and is now working as a New York state-certified school psychologist in Malone Central School District.
Chris, who completed his master's level coursework in School Psychology in 2011, became interested in his chosen career path after a high school psychology course fascinated and inspired him. After visiting campus, he decided to attend SUNY Plattsburgh to pursue a bachelor's degree in psychology.
"Between the baseball program, the great reputation of the psychology department, and the laid-back lifestyle of the outdoor life, I was hooked," he said. By the time he earned his bachelor's degree, SUNY Plattsburgh's school psychology program had been granted national accreditation for the Master's/CAS program.
"The fit could not have been more perfect. The faculty, staff, and coursework gave me the knowledge I needed to be successful in the field, and the skills necessary to apply theory in a real world setting."
After completing three years of the MA/CAS program, he spent a year working for the Adirondack Arc Children's Corner program, performing pre-school evaluations and counseling students there. "Working with families within their home environment gave me a strong perspective on where these children were coming from and how their educational careers began," he said.
He was then hired by the Malone Central School District.
"I am now in my second year working as a school psychologist between all three (Malone) elementary schools. From undergraduate to graduate school at SUNY Plattsburgh, and the amazing experience I had with the Adirondack Arc, I could not have asked for better preparation for working at the district level."
Van Houten is a chapter representative for Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties on the executive board for the New York Association of School Psychologists where he coordinates professional development opportunities for area school psychologists, attends quarterly meetings, disseminates information relevant to the practice of school psychology and advocates for children and his profession.
A resident of Plattsburgh, he enjoys hiking, fishing, kayaking, and playing baseball and softball in summer leagues.
"I live the cliché life of not really feeling like I am going to 'work' because it is not really work at all to me. There is something magical about working at the elementary. Perhaps it is that 'big kid' in me smiling back at the younger version of himself, knowing that this is where he was destined to be."

Slip and Slide
"While these boots look great, they are not a good investment at all. I've had them for a few months and I'm already in the market for a new pair. They weren't great from the start, but unfortunately the winter weather started early in NYC this year and I had to use them before really testing them out. They do not stand up to the slushy streets at all. When I'm not careful, I do slide a bit on subway platforms, but I haven't had time to look for a replacement. Also, thanks to the Polar Vortex I know that these boots don't stand up to cold weather either, and, like other customers, I've been left with Popsicles for toes. Again, while the design is great, these are not the boots for you if you really need them for true winter weather."

"I purchased this boot mainly for walking my dogs in the snowy Ohio winters. So far, with thick socks, my feet have been kept warm during 30-45 minute walks. I did go snow tubing in them and my feet got cold but I was trudging around in very cold snow for an hour and a half. My only complaint is that the heel area is slightly uncomfortable. The furry lining stops right at the top of my heel, which gave me a blister the first couple of times I wore the boots. I seem to have broken them in by now, though, and they're more comfortable."

Frozen feet,
"These boots are cute, but they did not keep my feet warm at all, I was crying in pain because I couldn't feel my feet after less than 30 minutes outside, not even in the snow. I am grateful DSW let me return these boots."

Perfect for cold weather/rain!
"I was a little worried at first when I saw the bottom portion was just a rain boot but they are comfy. The soul doesn't stay in place long and you shouldn't plan on walking around a theme park in them because you'll get blisters but to wear to an from places during cold weather and rain they do great."

We're really psyched that we got the chance to Q&A Brice Partouche, designer of French denim brand April77, 1/2 the mastermind behind the April77 x Calla Romantic Rights collaboration (which turned out some seriously dreamy jeans). Brice revealed some admirable denim snobbery and, very interestingly, an interest in creating jeans out of Lady Gaga's hair.
Denim Therapy: Lets start from the beginning. How did you know you wanted to be a designer?
Brice Partouche: I never wanted to be a designer. I studied medecine. I wanted to be a cardiac surgeon! But I was into music too, playing in bands. Fashion wasn't (and still not) important to me. It's all about attitude.
My dad was a jeans maker and I learnt everything from him, even if he tried to keep me out from this business. I guess he wanted me to have a real job… and now we are working together. April77 is a family company. I started the brand in 2001. The idea was simple : clothes that me and my friends want to wear.
DT: Are there other denim brands you consider your immediate competition? How do you differentiate yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands afloat right now?
BP: We don't have competitors and if we have well I don't know them. I guess we are different from others brand because we have a real story to tell. We're authentic and passionated and that's what make our customers special. They are more "fans" than customers.
People who knows me will tell you, I'm a real nerd. I feel only concerned by authentic denim brands and I try to avoid that profusion of storyless denim brands flooding the market.
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
BP: You mean like doing pagan rituals, turning upside down black jeans and waiting for the inspiration? Well not really, but I try to leave Paris for 2 weeks, going to NY or California. The USA have always been my most inspiring country.
DT: Describe the person who represents your ideal target customer—the customer you have in mind when you're planning a collection.
BP: I figure a one-step-ahead teenager or a 35-year-old guy still stuck in his skaboarding years. At least, both are music nerds , clever customers and not under the fashion industry influence.
DT: What would be your dream collaboration? Any plans of that in the future?
BP: Jeans made with Lady Gaga's hair would be awesome. But a collaboration with Henri Rollins would be the absolute dream!
DT: What are the most popular washes/fits in the line? What are your favorites, and how would you style them?
BP: The JOEY Overdrive Raw is our best seller. It's our basic skinny jeans in natural indigo raw denim. It's unisex. DICTATOR are a slim/straight jeans, very popular too. Raw jeans with a blank or band tee are the best… I'm not a fan of washings. I 've always prefered raw blue or black denim. It's a real pleasure to see that our customers prefer raw denim as well.
Of course we make couple of washings. They are always inspired by my personal or my friends jeans after 6 months or one year without washing or cleaning. I know it sounds dirty but that's how jeans are supposed to be worn.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
BP: I like open end denim. They were famous in the 70's and 80's , when denim fabric production became massive, suppliers had to make cheaper denim. The quality was good because the fabric was thicker…but the price was cheaper.
DT: Street style and style blogs are huge in the industry right now as a source of inspiration, influencing the high end labels rather than vice versa. How much does street style influence your designing?
BP: Well, street style is of course one of my main inspiration. I'm lucky because my job makes me travelling a lot. I meet very inspiring people, some are my friends, some are just random cool guys and girls.
DT: How many pairs of denim do YOU own?
BP: Guess what, I have two pairs : one blue, one black. I wear them till they die, then I change.
DT: Favorite celeb wearing your brand?
The Kills, Amy Winehouse (when she was around), Julian Casablancas.
Keep an eye on April77 for denim-snob approved releases this spring! Huge thanks to Brice Partouche for doing this Q&A with us.

Set against North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, George Vanderbilt's 250-room chateau-style Biltmore Estate ranks as the largest private home in America.
Biltmore's 75 acres of formal and informal gardens—from a tree-specked shrub garden with meandering paths to a manicured Italian garden dotted with pools—were designed by master landscaper Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for creating New York City's Central Park.
Designed by Thomas Jefferson in the neoclassical style, Monticello sits on a mountaintop 70 miles northwest of Richmond in Charlottesville, Virginia.
From oval flowerbeds to winding paths, Jefferson designed every fruit, vegetable, and flower garden at Monticello over two centuries ago.
Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and studio, Taliesin West, sits at the foothills of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The grounds of Taliesin West include a sculpture garden filled with bronze statues and desert plants.
The 107-year-old Hildene in Manchester, Vermont, is a must-see for presidential-history buffs: After all, it was built by Robert Lincoln, the only son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive into adulthood.
Hildene's gardens are notable for their multi-colored flowers, including more than 1,000 peony blooms planted to resemble a cathedral-style stained-glass window.
Biscayne Bay glitters just beyond the 10 acres of European-inspired gardens and native forest at Miami's Vizcaya, an opulent, European-style villa built in 1916 as a winter home for agricultural industrialist James Deering.
Vizcaya's real scene-stealer is the outdoor sculpture garden, which features artifacts like a Roman altar from the second century AD and the 290-year-old Sutri Fountain, imported from Italy especially by Deering.
Hollywood has made good use of the palatial, Charles II-style Old Westbury mansion on Long Island's Gold Coast: North By Northwest, The Age of Innocence, and Cruel Intentions were all shot here.
Old Westbury was built between 1904 and 1906 for financier and lawyer John S. Phipps, with elements borrowed from classic British country estates and the medieval Battle Abbey.
At Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, more than 80 plants (including California privet, yew, and English boxwood) have been clipped to resemble mammals, birds, and geometric shapes.
The grounds at Green Animals Topiary Garden include a white clapboard house that cotton manufacturer Thomas Brayton bought in 1872—a charmingly meager counterpoint to the ostentatious mansions of Newport, about 10 miles south of here.
The Gilded-Age Naumkeag mansion in the Berkshires was completed in 1886 as a summer retreat for prominent New York attorney Joseph Choate and his family.
The 44-room Naumkeag sits among 10 acres of terraced gardens designed by America's first Modernist landscape architect, Fletcher Steele.
Built in 1923, Milwaukee's Villa Terrace was once owned by Lloyd Smith, president of the A.O. Smith Corporation.
Villa Terrace's grounds, which overlook Lake Michigan, are known for the Renaissance Garden, modeled after 16th-century Tuscany and restored in 2002.
Husband-and-wife gold-mine owners built the Georgian-inspired, 36,000-square-foot Filoli between 1915 and 1917, about 30 miles south of San Francisco.
The 654-acre Filoli estate is known for its bonsai and magnolia collections, as well as the largest heirloom orchard in private hands in the United States.
A former slave plantation established in 1679, Charleston's Magnolia Plantation contains America's oldest public gardens.
Today, the English-style gardens at Magnolia Plantation feature winding paths lined with native azaleas and antique camellias.
Located less than 15 minutes from downtown Philadelphia, the 45-acre Bartram's Garden's bucolic vibe belies its urban surroundings.
Not only do the grounds of Bartram's Garden hold native species of ferns, wildflowers, and trees, including America's oldest gingko, but they're also home to the country's oldest living botanical garden, which botanist John Bartram started in 1728.
The pink-bricked Hermann-Grima house was built in New Orleans in 1831 by a German-Jewish immigrant who made his fortune in cotton.
The grounds of the Hermann-Grima House include Versailles-inspired ornamental parterre filled with antique roses and citrus trees.
Historic Deepwood Estate is a multi-gabled, Queen Anne Victorian home built in Salem, Oregon, in 1894.
The gardens at Deepwood, which are surrounded by the Rita Steiner Nature Trail, are full of romantic touches: gazebos, ivy-covered arbors, and fleur-de-lis-adorned gates.

By DON W. KEELEFerron
I am uncomfortable with the monument conception for some of the following reasons:
I don't believe you will aggressively pursue the RS2477 roads and rights-of-way that do not fit your perception for control and "funneling" of visitors to the area.
Most of the people we are getting are people that want to have all types of motorized access to ride OHVs, see the scenery, the sheep, rock-hound, camp, bike (not take passenger cars on unmaintained or gravel roads) and these interests can only be pursued off main roads.
I believe your expectations of tourists from all over the country are very optimistic.
There are no historic sights of national interest � only local. The dinosaur quarry has been here for decades. We do not see any motels, gas stations or restaurants on the road to the quarry. If someone wanted to make this kind of investment, the BLM would not let them.
With your monument scheme you are telling the world that multiple use is not working so we need special designation to protect this area, which is a lie.
In researching other towns affected by monuments or national parks, I have been informed that local opinion of people on boards was and is totally ignored. So your assessment of your impact on a board of management composed of the BLM and others is overrated
Since the Wilderness Act and Endangered Species Act, etc., was made into law, the sponsors of these bills have told the BLM where, when, why and how far (or the BLM is sued). Local input will never be considered.
One of the largest tar sands deposits in Utah is in the San Rafael Swell. Look in the first BLM wilderness inventory. Just because there is not the technology in place today does not mean that there won't be tomorrow. Why lock up this natural resource and support countries that manipulate the price of oil, then kill U.S. citizens. This is the height of hypocrisy.
I don't know what the public lands council budget was for the past years, but their budget for this year is more than $100,000. If the money the public lands council has spent on their schemes had been spent on RS2477 litigation we would be farther ahead.
You have made the claim that you can stop this national monument designation if the people of Emery County say "no." How can you stop it when everyone in the United States is supposed to be able to comment. When Leavitt announced it to the world, we were screwed.
There is no reason to add another layer of bureaucracy. With a good, fair, balanced RMP and travel plan by the BLM, there are adequate controls in place and we should be more proactive in helping in that direction to keep our rights rather than a national monument. However, until the BLM and SUWA get a divorce, Emery County will come up on the short end.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
Glen Dale Johnson: I have spent two years on the city council and six years as mayor of Green River, experience and knowledge are my best assets. The city has a need for more housing, the roads are becoming trails, we have a water and sewer system in need of updating. We have several homes in danger of being flooded again. There are children in the street going to and from school in danger of being hit by autos.
The new playground equipment and new kiosks at the museum did not seem as important as much needed street improvement, water lines and sewer repairs. Too many projects have been started and never completed. I would like to correct these situations.
We need to be looking at the future of Green River and step out of the past into that future without destroying the good things we have.
Pat Brady: I have lived in Alaska, Arizona, Utah and Colorado, I now teach at Green River High School. It took four-five months to find a house for my family in Green River. My wife says we are not going to move again.
My experience from living here five years and other places gives me the experience needed to be of great worth on the city council. I want to make the town safer for the citizens, to encourage job creation. There is not much in Green River to keep young people here after they grow up. When they leave that doesn't help our community.
I agree the infrastructure needs repair such as roads, water lines and sewer lines. Some are being worked on now and need to be completed.
I want to help the community to progress, bring in new businesses, bring people in to enjoy our fine hotels, restaurants and bring more money into the city.
We need to bring in businesses other than service industry businesses. As a teacher, I see a lack of parenting in the home due to parents working two or three jobs and no time at home. Let us bring in an industry with high paying jobs with benefits so only one job is needed.
My main three things of interest are progress, protection and prosperity for all in Green River. Keith Brady: I am new in town. I moved here from Arizona, when I purchased the Robbers Roost Hotel, I have a bachelors degree in graphic design, marketing, and advertising. I am member of the South Eastern Business Council. I enjoy being in Green River and want to be more involved. I have been attending City Council to learn what is going on.
Green River has been through periods of boom and bust. Now Green River needs to get ready for a new boom as several businesses are looking to locate here. The quality of infrastructure and housing are important to these companies. These businesses if they come here will bring in more jobs.
We need an active Chamber of Commerce. Most of the people in the city want the infrastructure improved. They want better communications between city boards and councils and the mayor. Action items by the city council need to be followed up on and completed.
Dan Harrison: I have lived in Green River three different times. I have had three children born here. I have started eight successful businesses five of which I still own and operate. I have been a Green River City councilman for eight years and gained a lot of experience for this position.
We have some steel water lines underground, that we are using, that can blow at any time. They usually break in the coldest weather and at the worst possible time. Everything underground in the city needs to be updated or replaced. This needs to be done before we repair or reconstruct the streets.
We have concrete sewer pipe underground that has dissolved from the sewer gasses. That was the Longstreet Sewer Pipe that totally dissolved. Only the bottom half of the sewer pipe is left. The top half has totally caved in. The rest of this pipe is still underground and has never been repaired.
Our flood preparedness; we have been hit a couple of times in the past 10 years and nothing has really changed. We still have the 110th which is the old number 51 ditch West of North town which slowly shifts the water to the North and South from coming down on the city. But the people on the North get the brunt of the flooding. That ditch has breached before and flood water come through town. We are in a position where we argue with the BLM and the county over how to fix this problem.
We did have $800,000 dollars plus in our capital improvement fund, but now we have less than $700,000 dollars after putting in plastic playground equipment and plastic kiosks over at the museum. Neither of which I was in support of. Our priorities need to be guided into a direction that will make our lives better and safer. Not in the direction where it always service tourism.
Next year we will have a new main street as Utah Department Of Transportation is rebuilding it. We will be tempted to put new oil down on side streets but we need to be working on replacing the underground water and sewer pipes first.
A lot of times we are held up on projects waiting for new money to take on these projects. If we have money in our budget we should use it for necessary projects.
We need a city manager to make sure the city completes projects through several mayors and city councils. Instead of starting over with every new mayor and city council. A city manager could save the city money.
There is a need for housing in Green River. We have many people that are reluctant to sell land or rental property they say they are waiting for their kids to return. Possibly they are waiting for expected big money to come to Green River and purchase the property.
Six different companies are drilling in the area for uranium. The price of uranium is higher now than it has ever been. The price is about $175 a pound for yellow cake. In the past it was mined for a profitable $20 a pound.
We used to have uranium mining and the missile base, now we have great potential for oil refineries, a landfill, and other businesses. If and when they come this will bring an increase in wealth in this area.
Lucas R Shorts: I have lived in Green River all my life, I have built a house, I have two children. I own a business and am about to start another.
My interest in Green River is for the future and Green River is going in the wrong direction. We need new families, new businesses, large and small to bring in more money for the city. We have a lot of projects that need to be finished.
I know of several companies that would like to locate in Green River. Green River is in a unique situation with plenty of water, natural gas 13 miles away, I-70, and the railroad for transportation.
We need to change some things so these companies can afford to come to Green River. We charge some of the highest fees for companies wanting to relocate in Green River. We cannot expect a large company to come here and build a warehouse without access to the natural gas that is presently 13 miles away. I would push for these necessary changes. If we bring these companies here they will provide jobs that will help keep our high school graduates in Emery County. At present it is very tragic that our kids have to leave Green River because there are insufficient jobs here.
The city has let to many things fall by the wayside. We need to talk with the citizens of Green River about their concerns, to find out why they want or don't want things the Council is planning. I don't believe this has happened in the past. If we do not get input from the citizens of Green River on various issues we are not doing our job and not doing what is best for Green River.
Karen Silliman: I recently moved here from Elkhorn, Neb., I was educated at the University of Nebraska and BYU, I have a masters degree in family therapy. I feel I can bring many good things to the City Council. I have two teenage children. I am concerned about parents not having enough time to spend with their children. I will not be employed therefore I will devote time to City Council business. We have a lot of work to do in making Green River a place to grow and a safe place for raising our children.
I would like to speak up for the citizens of Green River. I do not have an agenda, I will listen to the citizens concerns, I will attend and listen at other community group meetings. I will be able to take as much time as necessary to do this. In doing this I will be able to understand what is going on all over Green River.
By spending time with the citizens I will be better able to serve Green River on the City Council. After listening to the citizens I will follow through on what people want.
I haven't heard about a lot of follow through yet. I am not sure what the reasons are behind the lack of follow through, but that is neither here or there. We need to work together as a team for the betterment of Green River.
I would like to see the infrastructure and citizen safety improved and more housing made available. My husband had to make three or four trips here just to find housing, that was quite an undertaking. I am in favor of new industry moving here.
There are things that we can do to encourage the private sector. I believe we need to look into the future in a planned way so that we can maintain anything we build. Let us get rid of things that are meaningless and lets move on to things that need to be accomplished. Then let us follow through to make sure the projects are completed.
I would like to see written communications back to the citizens. Perhaps a newsletter every two months. This would help the citizens hold the mayor and the council accountable for what we want.

The Edmonton Oilers Top-50 Prospects
Jonathan Willis
April 25 2009 11:33AM
This is my ranking of Oilers prospects; every single prospect of note is included somewhere on this list. It differs significantly from similar efforts by The Hockey News and Hockey's Future - I'm much less concerned with draft position than I am in where the prospects are right now.
I use statistics a lot in my rankings, but I also take into account scouting reports and what I've seen of each individual prospect. The one exception I will make is that I don't place a ton of emphasis on Kevin Prendergast's public statements – sometimes they're blatantly wrong, often they contradict what he said in the not too distant past. Without further ado, here's the list:
1. Theo Peckham – Peckham has limited offensive upside at the NHL level, but he's got size and plays a mean game. More than that, he was an outstanding shut-down defenseman in Springfield this season, constantly playing the toughest minutes, and didn't look out of place in 15 NHL games. 2. Riley Nash - Nash has good offensive upside and plays a two-way game; unfortunately for the Oilers his development may be stagnating in Cornell and he still needs to add size. 3. Jordan Eberle - A natural goal-scorer, Eberle took a modest step forward in the WHL this year and starred for Canada at the World Juniors. He showed an ability to translate his offense to the AHL as well, scoring nine points in nine games. Will need more time before being NHL ready. 4. Linus Omark - The best offensive talent in the system right now, Omark had a phenomenal year in Sweden but is small and has never played in North America. 5. Devan Dubnyk - Dubnyk's AHL numbers aren't impressive, but he was playing for an absolutely abysmal team and lost more than twice as many games as he won. He was not part of the problem this season. 6. Gilbert Brule - His grit and offensive ability are undeniable; he is however both undersized and was injured (again) this season. Brule was rushed into the NHL and won't ever be the player he was projected as in his draft year. 7. Teemu Hartikainen - The gritty Finn was one of the youngest players in his country's top league and still managed 17 goals. His skating is still reportedly not very good and his -8 on a good team is cause for concern. Overall, he looks like a mid-round steal by the scouting staff at this point. 8. Philippe Cornet - Another pick that looks like a steal, Cornet actually put up more points than Eberle this season. He has a reputation as a smart, two-way player. 9. Ryan Potulny - Potulny's track record just screams "tweener" to me, but he was far and away the best forward in Springfield and scoring 38 goals was an incredible accomplishment in that environment. Looked good during his NHL recall. 10. Chris Vande Velde - Vande Velde has size and faceoff ability and has put up decent point totals in college hockey. At this point he seems like a decent bet to have a future as a checking forward. 11. Alexandre Plante - The massive defenseman bounced back from a poor 2007-08 and added an edge to his game. On the other hand, Calgary was such a dominant squad that it's questionable whether much of his offense will make it to the NHL. 12. Cody Wild - It was a strange season for Wild, who played a half dozen games in the ECHL this season and had trouble staying in the lineup under Jeff Truitt, but he was one of the few bright spots in Springfield. 13. Taylor Chorney - Kevin Prendergast swears that Chorney's a better player than Wild, but the fact is that he played similar competition, posted vastly inferior numbers and is smaller to boot. His -29 was the worst on the team, and his defense partners (notably Roy and Wild) were vastly better without him than with him. 14. Jeff Petry - The two-way defenseman's numbers dropped off this year as Michigan State was outscored nearly 2:1 by their opponents. That said, Petry's -31 was easily the worst on the team. 15. Liam Reddox - The dependable defensive player doesn't bring size to the NHL but he does bring willingness and smarts. He's been a coach's favourite everywhere he's been, but the change in coaches may mean he ends up back in the AHL. 16. Jean-Francois Jacques - Jacques finally notched an NHL point after being a dependable AHL scorer for years. He's a brilliant AHL player and adds size and energy to the lineup; if he's finally figured out how to translate his game to the NHL he could be a force. 17. Milan Kytnar - Displayed offensive capability this season in Saskatoon and reportedly plays a well-rounded game. 18. Tyler Spurgeon - Was tremendous in a defensive role in Springfield this season; his -4 was one of the best marks on the team and Spurgeon was consistently used against tough opponents. Injuries are still a major concern. 19. Rob Schremp - Schremp's season was an absolute disaster. He should have been on the cusp of NHL duty, but wasn't even a leader in Springfield this season. His -26 was the worst mark among forwards despite the fact that he was playing some of the softest minutes on the team. Still, this is rock bottom and he'll get at least one more year to try and turn things around. 20. Johan Motin - A big defenseman who was used sparingly in the Elitserien, Motin may not be developing as hoped. He would likely benefit from coming over to North America. 21. Ryan Stone - May have a career as an energy forward. Stone has never had a high-end offensive game but adds size and is a tough customer. 22. Colin McDonald - Played tough-minutes this season and showed some offensive talent down the stretch, where Rob Daum leaned on him heavily. He's a big man with a good shot who may end up having a career as a 4th-liner. 23. Vyacheslav Trukhno - For the second year in a row, Trukhno has failed to translate his junior offense to the professional game. He doesn't do enough other things well if he isn't scoring to make the jump to the NHL. 24. Andrew Perugini - The Oilers signed Perugini to a minor-league contract, and he responded by outplaying draft pick Bryan Pitton and stealing the starting job with Stockton. That said, his numbers aren't good enough at this point. 25. Josef Hrabal - This season went very poorly for Hrabal, who will be at Oilers training camp next fall. He was supposed to be one of Springfield's top defensemen but was injured early and then used badly by Jeff Truitt. On his third trip to Stockton he left for Europe where he had six poor games in Sweden. He needs to show something this year or I think he's done. 26. Alexei Mikhnov - Incredibly, Mikhnov's still in the conversation. The Oilers have been in contact with him and he's still interested in coming over, but likely only on a one-way deal. He would be ranked higher if I thought the Oilers were inclined to give him one. 27. Bryan Lerg - Lerg was injured this season, but comments from the Oilers have not been encouraging and it very much sounds like he may not be in the plans. A well-rounded player with a good NCAA career, Lerg is undersized and had a disappointing professional debut. As an undrafted player, he also gets less benefit of the doubt from the team. 28. Guillaume Lefebvre - Lefebvre, rather shockingly, led the Falcons in difficulty of competition and also contributed as the team's resident tough guy. He's getting older, but a fourth line job may yet be his. 29. Glenn Fisher - This player simply refuses to die. After being drafted he had lousy years with the University of Denver before blowing the doors off in his final NCAA season. Edmonton signed him; he responded with a middling ECHL year. He was signed to an AHL/ECHL deal and seldom used as Devan Dubnyk's backup, but when the acquisition of Dany Sabourin forced a move he posted phenomenal numbers with Las Vegas of the ECHL. He'll be 26 this week and is a bit of an enigma. 30. Tim Sestito - The organization's love for this player is baffling; he must be a heck of a character guy because he doesn't contribute at all offensively and isn't blessed with size either. He's a hardnosed guy who handles AHL tough minutes, but even a regular fourth-line job is probably not a realistic possibility. 31. Sebastien Bisaillon - Smallish, injury-prone defenseman showed a high-level offensive game in junior, but doesn't bring enough offense as a pro to justify his other deficiencies. 32. Ryan O'Marra - O'Marra has size and is still young. He managed one goal on the season in the AHL and is rapidly running out of time with the organization. 33. Mathieu Roy - At one point Roy looked like a good bet for a career as a #6/#7 defenseman, but injuries have taken a toll. He has size, some offense, and a nasty disposition, but I think he's already played the bulk of his NHL career. 34. Bryan Young - Big hitter has only average size and doesn't contribute at all offensively. He plays a safe reliable game against soft AHL competition and isn't a prospect of interest at this point. 35. Bjorn Bjurling - Bjurling had an off year, and will be thirty before next season. He doesn't seem to be in the organization's long-term plans. 36. Jake Taylor - Veteran minor-leaguer probably deserves to be ranked higher, but despite having size and playing a gritty game he's at the age where NHL teams stop looking. 37. Bryan Pitton - Had a disastrous professional debut in the ECHL, losing his starting job to Andrew Perugini. He got a second chance when Perugini was injured in game one of the playoffs, but imploded so badly that Parker Van Buskirk, coming off a middling season in junior, replaced him as Stockton's starter. Still has two years on his NHL deal, so he has time to rebound. 38. Jordan Bendfeld - A nasty defenseman with size and toughness, Bendfeld's an ECHL player at this point. 39. Geoff Paukovich - Has size and occasionally injures people by hitting them from behind. Not a prospect of note. 40. Stephane Goulet - A 50-goal scorer in junior, Goulet's a tall, lanky winger who has had three bad professional seasons and is probably done with the organization. 41. Charles Linglet - The undrafted 26-year old looked good in 21 games with Springfield and has some size but is realistically a career minor-leaguer at this point. 42. Alexander Bumagin - The 22-year old Russian seems to have peaked in his draft year. 43. William Quist - Quist hasn't followed the Oilers' recommendations and had a poor season with Nybro in Sweden's second-best league. The 6'5" enigma is not likely to ever where an Oilers' uniform. 44. Robby Dee - A part-time player with the University of Maine, it's very doubtful that Dee gets a contract offer when he finishes school. 45. Matt Glasser - The smallish Glasser has had three uneventful seasons with the University of Denver and is in much the same position as Dee. 46. Robbie Bina - Had a lousy professional debut and was outmatched at every level. The undersized defenseman is already one of the older prospects in the system. 47. Parker Van Buskirk - Undrafted goaltender has been OK as Stockton's starter in the ECHL playoffs but in all likelihood is only a stop-gap. 48. Mikahil Zhukov - Scored a career-high 5 goals in the KHL this past season. Not a player of interest at this point. 49. Jeff Lee - Big winger was rewarded for a fine season with the Oil Kings by being signed to a professional tryout; he was pointless in two AHL games. 50. David Rohlfs - Sometimes a forward, sometimes a defenseman, Rohlfs is almost always an ECHL player.
Some Elaboration
There were undoubtedly a few surprises on this list, so I'm just going to comment on those and a few other points. There are a couple of places where there is a real drop-off between players. I think Peckham has some space in the number one slot and is easily the surest bet in the system. Devan Dubnyk may be an elite AHL goaltender; with the quality of Springfield this season it's hard to be sure based on the numbers. I'd say there's a bit of a drop-off from Dubnyk in the number five spot to Brule at number six.
I have Jeff Petry rated quite low; THN ranks him as the second-best prospect in the system and Hockey's Future has him in the number three slot. He hasn't shown NHL-level offense during his NCAA career and his defensive numbers, both this year and last haven't been inspiring either.
Rob Schremp also fares badly on my list; THN has him ranked 10th overall and Hockey's Future slots him in the #6 spot. I tend to ascribe this to a difference in how we view probability – other outlets like him because he probably won't be an NHL'er, but he has a shot at putting up big points if he does make it. Personally, I rate that behind a guy like Tyler Spurgeon, who has a better chance at an NHL career but probably won't be a particularly special player if he does make it.
The other thing that I do is draw extensively on my AHL Quality of Competition rankings, which give us a better idea of which low-offense types are being elite AHL checkers and which ones are just being AHL grinders. For instance, Ryan O'Marra, who Prendergast tossed under a bus in his interview the other day, was frequently praised during the year as a shut-down player by Oilers' brass when it was obvious from his QualComp numbers that he was playing on the fourth line.
There are two more big drop-offs at about the #17 and #25 slots. Players below #17 are real long-shots, and players below #25 are probably write-offs at this point although one or two may surprise.
I thought Omark signed in Russia?

@ 6zeppelin6:
The Oilers still own his NHL rights.
How can you consider a player not property on a non-NHL deal a prospect? Ridiculous. So much wrong with this list. If Theo Peckham is your best prospect then you have issues addressing talent, you and KP.

What are you asking here? Many players are prospects though not signed to NHL deals (one example would have been Evgeni Malkin while he was in the KHL). If you mean players like Fisher and Perugini, the fact of the matter is that the Oilers only have 50 NHL contracts to give out, so often players they're interested in but not crazy about get AHL contracts.

Yes, please do. The way I read things, this list is a lot closer to how I read the organizational prospects than anything else I've seen.
That said, I'd have Plante higher than Potulny and Van de Velde and Brule would slot in above Omark, at least at this point in their development.
Jay Where is it written that a prospect has to have an NHL contract. Are you saying that John Tavares is not a prospect? Peckham is a good prospect to make the NHL based on his shut down abilities and physical play.

I actually struggled with those choices when I made the list. I knocked Plante down because he's playing for such a powerhouse team; it's possible I knocked hi mdown too much because he really wasn't drafted for his offense anyway.
I like both Vande Velde and Brule, and it's possible I'm rating Omark too highly. Omark's season was spectacular but he still needs to prove that it wasn't a flash in the pan, and next year will be telling. Plus of course his size will always work against him.
April 25 2009, 12:39PM
Check what you wrote for Omark, you threw in Eberle's name. Feel free to delete this post if you fix it.
April 25 2009, 12:41PM
I dont think ive heard of hartikainen, looking forward to seeing what this kid is all about in the future.
April 25 2009, 12:45PM
@ Archaeologuy:
I'm not nearly as high on Eberle as others are; his season this year was a modest improvement on his draft year. He had a great World Juniors, but his scoring accomplishments against other teenagers aren't nearly as impressive as Omark's offensive achievements against men (and a lot of ex-NHL'ers). That said, Eberle's younger, slightly bigger, and is playing in North America so I think he's a better prospect.
April 25 2009, 12:46PM
@ Archaeologuy:
Kurri was apparently raving about what a solid player Hartikainen is; it's very rare to see a player that young in a regular spot in the top Finnish league. He's big and supposedly has a lot of sandpaper to his game so if he can keep developing that scoring touch he could be a real steal.
April 25 2009, 12:50PM
@ Jonathan Willis: no i meant that you wrote
"4. Linus Omark - The best offensive talent in the system right now, EBERLE had a phenomenal year in Sweden but is small and has never played in North America."
you called him Eberle, thats all. I'm not arguing with you at all. I completely agree with you on Omark, although I didnt realize that Riley Nash was that good of a prospect.
Jonathan, Although I don't want to speak on behalf of Arch, but I think he was talking about this....
4. Linus Omark - The best offensive talent in the system right now, Eberle had a phenomenal year in Sweden but is small and has never played in North America

Prendergast was surprisingly critical of him in his Pipeline Show interview; I get the feeling that the organization really doesn't like the Cornell route. My projection of Nash is dependent on him adding some weight; he's tall enough but lanky. Other than that the scouts love him and his numbers aren't bad either.
April 25 2009, 12:55PM
@ Jonathan Willis: thats Ok. Yesterday i called the SE division the South West. At least you have the benefit of changing it. Meanwhile, i get to look like a goofball forever. EDIT BUTTON!! *shakes fist at mythical edit button*
I know Omark is a youtube sensation for his unbelievable goals, but the thing that impressed me was how strong he seems to be on the puck. Playing agains other men, he is being shoved and pushed all over the place yet stays strong on his feet. Dare I say he looks like he handles the puck like Hemmer? I guess the question to ask is how is his skating? I would love to see him come to N.A. for a year in Springfield.
I found this article and it was very interesting in how they say Oilers Management may have messed up a bit on this. http://thehockeywriters.com/linus-omark-swedens-next-sensation/ I know it is tough to offer a roster spot with so many small guys already on the team with the direction to get bigger. But by removing some other smaller guys like Pouliot, Reddox or Pisani would still allow us to get bigger while having some serious talent possibilities. Does anyone know how long the KHL deal was for? Is it just there was kno way the Oilers could see it working this year or is Pendergast screwing up again with his assessments? Hopefully Tambo revamps that area of the club as well.
JW: Great list! Of all the players on here is anyone realistically expected to challenge for a roster spot next year (outside of perhaps Peckham)?
April 25 2009, 02:04PM
@ Thunder:
I believe Omark's KHL contract is a one-year deal. I also think he was passed over because he is so small; realistically, he'd be spending half a season in the AHL, maybe more.
April 25 2009, 02:06PM
@ Smytty777:
Guys with a legitimate shot at making the roster: Peckham, Brule, Potulny, Reddox, Jacques
Guys with better than no chance: Spurgeon, Schremp, Stone, McDonald, Lefebvre, Hrabal, Sestito, Roy

Good job, Jay - I'd run and hide too, if JW and Robin called me out like that.
good shout on Brule - man, I'm excited to see this guy once he's got his stuff together. Could be a pretty sweet 3rd line addition, no?
JW: I think Omark's deal w/the KHL is 2 years, but there's an out after year 1, when the Oil expect him to come over. Longterm, I think this could be ok as my sense it the Oilers did not want another small forward on the team next season.
I tend to agree w/your assessment's, with the possible exception of JF Jacques. Actually have to admit I was impressed with the few minutes he got this season - the light appears to have come on for him and give the long lay off, this has to be one of the pleasant surprises in an a system that did not have much going right for it this season.

I'm merely pointing out players signed to AHL and ECHL deals are really a reach to be considered prospects and not projects. IMO, a shorter list is really in order. Having a player on a PTO or an ATO as a prospect is silly. And correct me if I'm wrong. Any player can be a prospect in any league if there's some connection or affiliation. Why isn't Aaron Sorochan on the list? Jonas Gustavsson? Brian Ross? Floyd Whitney? Ok, Floyd is retired. Or Shane Willis is less of a prospect than Jeff Lee? Willis misses the list on an AHL deal and Lee makes it with a ATO? There's a consistency gap.
April 25 2009, 03:46PM
@ Jay: last time I checked Jonas Gustavsson had absolutely no affiliation with the Oilers, so how could he be considered one of their prospects?
April 25 2009, 03:47PM
After conversations with many people who watched the Falcons, Cody Wild is no where near the talent of Chorney right now.
The +/- of Chorney was awful, but most of that was in the first half of the season. Biggest knock on Wild is his hockey sense. Chorney is much closer to being NHL ready than Wild. I got that from five different scouts and coaches in the AHL.
And JF Jacques will make the Oilers next season. I'm not sure if your rankings weighed in what type of NHL player the prospects would be, but if it is based on who will play the soonest, then he has to be in the top two. If it is overall potential then I understand why he isn't a top ten.
@ Robin Brownlee:
I would debate the inclusion of Lee and the exclusion of Willis as glaring. But, a 50 man list is over-reaching. I too would debate the ranking of several players. Peckham as a #1 prospect I think is ridiculous. He's going to struggle to be an every day NHLer, really should be behind a few guys in the system for defenders nevermind forwards. Surebet? Where's quality and projection? Stone maybe taking some time to develop, but he's probably the 4th best forward prospect the organization has at this point. I think Dubnyk is a much overrated prospect, as many of the Oilers prospects are and would not have him in the top 10 or 15. And is Deslauriers suddenly not still a prospect, with his 540 minutes played? Not Willis with 174 games? Nor is Nash ahead of Brule? If we had Rick Nash sure. And not to make this post 7 pages long would rate many players elsewhere. Really who wouldn't.
@ Archaeologuy:
Why not, they are interested in him. He's barely less a prospect as Jeff Lee and his ATO.
Hell why is Dragan Umicevic not there? Over Mat Glasser?
April 25 2009, 03:55PM
@ Jay: Well why dont we just consider Tavares as the Oiler's best prospect?
@ Archaeologuy:
I couldn't disagree with you. But, in this list is does seem to either included drafted players under 20 and not undrafted players under 20. So I would have to say no.

What do you like about Stone? Eberle, Brule, Nash and Jacques are automatic better prospects at this point. What Stone will be is depth for team in case of injury, nothing more.
As for Dubnyk what makes him so overrated. He was their best player in Springfield by a mile for the first 50 games. He fatigued a bit, and he has to cut down on the soft goals, but what makes him overrated?
And because the Oilers are interested in a free agent, Gustavsson, doesn't make him a prospect. The Oilers are one of ten teams that are talking to his agent. I would agree that 50 prospects is too long, because in reality in the next five years from today maybe ten of these guys will be regulars.
I look at this list and shudder... There currently isn't a lot for Oiler fans to look forward to.
McIntyre is on a two way deal. He does not make the list when Lefebvre does?
April 25 2009, 04:20PM
@ Jason Gregor:
It's a combination of what kind of career I expect the players to have and the likelihood of them having it. I agree that Jacques is much closer to the NHL roster than some people above him on the list.
April 25 2009, 04:21PM
@ Jay: I wasnt being serious.
You cant include people that the Oilers dont have the rights to as prospects of the organization. It's absurd.
April 25 2009, 04:21PM
@ Mike76:
Because MacIntyre spent the entire year on the NHL roster. Lefebvre spent the entire year in the AHL.
@ Jason Gregor:
I'm no fan of Dubnyk I think he's big, but slow side to side and prone to weak goals regardless of playing time.
I think you know that Gustavsson was used in jest.
Stone? He's a veteran, developed in the minors. He's big and phsyical and has touch. And he's only exceeded by Brule in terms of readiness, IMO. 4th line type role player, I'd but him over Jacques. Wouldn't you?
April 25 2009, 04:27PM
@ Jay:
Willis is ancient and has no possibility of making the NHL roster. He's not a prospect, he's a career minor-leaguer.
And is your anger seriously because the list is too long? You're upset that there's too much information?
More than 40 players on that list obviously prospects, and I wanted fifty so I included guys like Lee and Van Buskirk. I wanted to do an exhaustive list of prospects in the system and that's what I did. If you want to bicker order, that's fine, but if you're seriously upset because there's too many players on the list you need to take things less seriously.
@ Jonathan Willis:
If he's not a full time NHLer is he not by definition a prospect?

Ryan Stone has put up .636 PPG in his AHL career. J-F Jacques has put up .699 PPG in his AHL career.
On top of that Jacques is bigger and a better skater. Why would you put Stone ahead of him?
April 25 2009, 04:32PM
@ Jay:
Tony Hrkac just came out of retirement. When you list of Minnesota Wild prospects, feel free to include him.
Anger? That's silly. Seriously are you offended??
Willis is 32. Bjurling is 30. 31 the limit in being washed up and a career minor leaguer\playing in Europe?
You would think that after years and years of hovering near the top of the NHL Detroit would start to look a little thin prospect wise... How do these players compare to what the Oilers have in the pipeline?
1)Jackub Kindl. D. 6'3" 200lbs. Blue Chip Prospect. All the tools to be a top pairing NHL D-man 2)Brendan Smith. D. 6'2" 184lbs. Another blue chip prospect. Tremendous offensive upside. Recorded 6G 14A in 16 OPJHL Playoff games in 2007 3)Daniel Larsson G. 6' 170lbs. 2008 SEL Rookie Of The Year. 2.29GAA .921 SV%. (Better than Dubnyk) 4)Jan Mursak. LW. 5'11" 167lbs. Small and skilled. Unlike Schremp/Omark has tremendous speed. More than a point/game guy last season with two differnt teams in the AHL. 5)Justin Abdelkader. LW. 6'1" 215lbs. October 2008 AHL Rookie of the Month, 2007 Frozen Four Most Outsatanding Player, etc, etc.
*screaming angrily waiving a gun in the air*
April 25 2009, 04:55PM
@ Jay:
It's a judgement call on everybody. Goaltenders get more leeway for age than anyone else, then defensemen, and lastly forwards; since I think that's the reverse order of how long it usually takes them to develop.
Willis has, IMO, no shot at an NHL job. He was an occasional healthy scratch and didn't perform all that well. Bjurling has very little shot at an NHL job, but if he plays lights out in Sweden next season there's a chance he could come over.

The +/- of Chorney was awful, but most of that was in the first half of the season. Biggest knock on Wild is his hockey sense. Chorney is much closer to being NHL ready than Wild. I got that from five different scouts and coaches in the AHL.
Fair enough; I spent a lot of time on trying to decide what order to slot them in. What eventually made me decide was how peoples plus/minus went when they were paired with Chorney- Roy got that role off the start, and the two of them sank together. Peckham's and Wild's both looked much worse with him than apart from him.
Five coaches/scouts is a lot, though.

Not a chance I take him over Jacques. Stone can't skate near as well as Jacques, he isn't nearly as tough. Jacques finally understands what he needs to do to stay in the Show. When he fought Parros he sent a message to the organization that he is finally ready to do whatever it takes to stick. He also has the ability to make the big hit, and now that he finally scored last year, I think he will relax and could be a solid 8-10 goal scorer, which would be great on the 4th line.
Stone, if they re-sign him, will be a depth guy for this team, but I don't see him ever becoming a regular. Jacques beats him in every intangible area.

The downfall of trying to figure out how how players are developing is the lack of games on TV. I can't force myself to watch games on the web, so a lot of the time we can only go on stats. The stats do give a pretty good assessment, because who cares how the guy scores as long as he scores. That is why I call the scouts and coaches, because they get to see the guys and can give us a bit more insight into the intangibles of players. And it is interesting how even scouts who watch these guys regularly will have vastly differing opinions on certain players.
We could have a great debate on here if we picked ten players we think will play more than 30 games for the Oilers in the next five years. Because we both know that if 20% of this list eventually make it that will be a high number.

Two of the competition's underachievers so far in 2013 clash at Forsyth Barr Stadium as the Hurricanes go south to face the Highlanders.
Two of Super Rugby's underachievers so far in 2013 do battle at Forsyth Barr Stadium as the Hurricanes make the trip south to take on the Highlanders.
It's been a poor start for Jamie Joseph's outfit in a season that promised so much after the signings of Brad Thorn, Ma'a Nonu and Tony Woodcock.
Losses to the Chiefs and Cheetahs sets them back from a usual fast start out of the blocks as the Highlanders currently sit bottom in New Zealand. Throw into the mix midfield concerns that sees Nonu and Shaun Treeby join Tamati Ellison on the sideline and they're in a tough spot.
Enter young JWC star Jason Emery, who goes up against Conrad Smith in his Super Rugby debut. Emery is still raw and probably was not expecting to earn his first start so soon into the campaign. But injuries have happened so he joins Kade Poki, Hosea Gear and company in the backs.
One positive is that Colin Slade is back in a starting XV alongside Aaron Smith while the other changes have Elliot Dixon, Jarrad Hoeata and Chris King replace Jake Paringatai, Josh Bekhuis and Ma'afu Fia at number eight, lock and tighthead prop respectively.
Had Alapati Leiua not pounced on a wayward pass from Adam Whitelock last week at the Westpac Stadium then the Hurricanes would be in an even bigger ditch than their Friday opponents. That win over the Crusaders came as a massive boost to the confidence of Mark Hammett's charges after a frustrating loss to the Reds in Brisbane the week before.
As it was – and as these things have a way of evening themselves out – the Hurricanes pounced on the gift and picked up four points that could well act as a springboard to what has been a slow start to their season. Andre Taylor is one man struggling to recapture his 2012 form and he subsequently is on the bench, with James Marshall handed the full-back spot alongside the devastating Julian Savea, who has been a shining light amid the gloom.
Played under the Dunedin roof it again – like Rounds 2 to 4 have been – promises to be a fantastic clash to kick-off the action. Throw in showdowns that pit Poki against Gear, Emery facing Smith, the battle for the All Blacks' back-up half-back places and it's set up nicely.
Prediction: The loss of Nasi Manu is such a blow to the Highlanders and I just feel that the Hurricanes may sneak this result. James Marshall is a steady player at the back and with settled combinations throughout, I'm going for the men from Wellington by 5 points!
The teams:
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Kade Poki, 13 Jason Emery, 12 Phil Burleigh, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Elliot Dixon, 7 John Hardie, 6 Joe Wheeler, 5 Jarrad Hoeata, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Chris King, 2 Andrew Hore (c), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Brayden Mitchell, 17 Ma'afu Fia, 18 Jake Paringatai, 19 TJ Ioane, 20 Fumiaki Tanaka, 21 Lima Sopoaga, 22 Buxton Popoalii.
Hurricanes: 15 James Marshall, 14 Alapati Leiua, 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara, 8 Victor Vito, 7 Karl Lowe, 6 Brad Shields, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Ben May, 2 Motu Matu'u / Ash Dixon, 1 Ben Franks.
Replacements: 16 tbc, 17 Reggie Goodes / Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, 18 James Broadhurst, 19 Faifili Levave, 20 Chris Smylie, 21 Tusi Pisi, 22 Andre Taylor.

Alexandra Baldwin, British Museum
When an email came round from Allison Marccucci at Wessex Archaeology calling for volunteers to go field walking at the Chiseldon cauldrons find spot my colleague Jamie Hood and I volunteered enthusiastically.
Jamie had never been to the site before and knew it only from photographs and my hazy recollections. It was important for him to put the cauldrons into the context of the surrounding landscape, and we would both represent the British Museum and tell everyone what had been happening since 2005.
Clothed in waterproofs, wellington boots and several jumpers we walked out across muddy fields to the find spot. Winter is not the nicest time to be out on an exposed ridge in the Wiltshire countryside, but field walking has to be done at this time of year – after ploughing and before the crop growth obscures the ground.
As we approached I could see a cluster of people standing over the find spot. The original find had produced a lot of interest in the local area and in total 10 people had volunteered to field walk including Peter Hyams, the finder; John Winterburn, who did an initial excavation; and members of the local history society.
A grid of five metre squares was set out over the field and we walked across each square in pairs picking up fragments of pottery, worked stone and metal. The finds were bagged and their location recorded by square.
Further study of the fragments by Wessex Archaeology and their spread throughout the field will give an indication of the periods of activity and also the extent of the archaeological area. When combined with geophysics results it should help to place the cauldrons in context.
By this time it was bitterly cold and the rain had started driving across the field horizontally. Taking what shelter we could by the field boundary we ate a hasty lunch. Although unpleasant, the rain did have the advantage of washing the ground surface and making the potsherds more visible, but with darkness descending and the weather worsening we called it a day.
Despite the freezing rain it was great to be out in the field and talking to other people about the find. The importance of local knowledge to archaeology is vital, and often landowners and users know details of the local landscape that it would take archaeologists a long time to accumulate.
We have to remember that, although the objects have passed over to us in the British Museum to conserve and investigate, their importance is not only academic. The turnout for fieldwalking in less than ideal weather showed how important the cauldrons are to the people involved, something that can be easily forgotten when working back in the lab.

Aquatics gets a boost from Sport England funding
24th January 2013
Sport England has today announced 310 projects across England benefitting from £16.6m of National Lottery funding in the third round of their Inspired Facilities Olympic legacy fund.
This announcement falls six months since Britain basked in the glory of the London Olympic Games, showing that the Games is improving sport in communities, clubs and schools, and building a real legacy from the grassroots level.
£598,030 has been allocated to aquatics across England and the investments will bring big improvements to local communities, from new pools and better changing facilities to improved disabled access.
Six months on from the start of the London 2012 Games, we have extremely strong foundations in place for the sports legacy.
Sedbergh School in Cumbria have received £150,000 in funding to improve their swimming facilities, including performance analysis equipment and early morning training sessions and Highworth Recreation Centre in Swindon have been awarded £50,000 to enhance their swimming facilities and changing rooms.
Canterbury Sea Cadets are due to receive £50,000 for a new building which will include changing rooms, showers, classrooms, a meeting room and a kitchen. Dave Sharpe, Commanding Officer said, "The Sea Cadets do swimming and water safety and also canoeing, sailing, rowing and wind surfing. We don't take anyone out onto the water who can't swim. We have been trying to get a new facility built for over two years, we have fundraised an awful lot and this grant is the finishing touch. Work will be starting on the building in early April."
SplashFit in Derby have been awarded £46,754 to adapt a swimming pool to meet disability requirements and adapt changing rooms, showers and toilets suitable for disability use. SplashFit is one of 15 sports clubs in Derbyshire to benefit from £700,000 in legacy funding.
