The Ghost and Mr. Muir

Among other signings, the Caps obtained another defenseman -- Bryan Muir -- on Thursday. Seems the club is now looking to fill out the Hershey roster. Of course, this is another six-foot-plus-plus defenseman.

But amid all these undercard signings, I'm wondering about that lonely spot out on the right point on the power play and whether Peter Bondra will be returned to the fold. He's still out there. The club is a little light at right wing, assuming Eric Fehr will spend the year in Hershey. Of course, they might be light at left wing, too, if Alexander Semin remains in Russia.

Who knew filling a roster could be so hard.
