It feels like ever year there's a player who comes into training camp and makes an unexpected splash to earn a roster spot. Last season it was Alex Laferriere and the season before that it was Gabe Vilardi.

With the Rookie Faceoff coming to a close last Monday (Sept. 16) and training camp starting a couple of days ago, the band is back together in Los Angeles, and things are finally starting to get serious.

Trading Pierre-Luc Dubois and his sizable contract after one season and not re-signing Viktor Arvidsson and Matt Roy are some of the more significant changes.
