"I think when you look at our team, you've got pieces that are in the right place," Quenneville said. "You've got all the pieces that you're looking for that were pretty solid. I've been writing down lines and I like the look of JASON WITTEN jersey the top three lines and I like the top four (defensemen). There's a lot to be excited about, and whoever takes advantage of (roster openings) -- we feel these guys are going to get better as they go along and make us a better team as well."

Young Swedish forward Viktor Stalberg (acquired from Toronto for Kris Versteeg) is being penciled in for a roster spot after scoring nine goals with five assists in just 40 games for the Maple Leafs last season. Other prospects on the verge of Jay Ratliff jersey cracking the NHL roster include forwards Bryan Bickell, Jake Dowell, Kyle Beach and Jack Skille -- along with defensemen Shawn Lalonde and Ivan Vishnevskiy (acquired from Atlanta for Andrew Ladd).

Leddy may have played his way into that conversation, as well.

Of those names, only Beach, Lalonde and Leddy participated in the prospect camp. Lalonde hopes he did enough to at least make Bowman and Todd Heap jersey Quenneville think about adding him, while Beach -- a goal-scoring power forward and 2008 first-rounder (No. 10) -- drew more notoriety for his fighting than scoring.

The 6-3, 202-pounder fought four times during the camp, including twice with 5-9, 160-pound Norwegian forward Willis Mcgahee jersey Mathis Olimb, whom the Hawks just signed in June. During the second fight, Olimb injured his shoulder -- it reportedly will require surgery.

All in all, Beach didn't seem too thrilled with his camp performance, mainly because of his lack of goals.

"Obviously part of my game is scoring and I wasn't able to do that," Beach said. "There's frustration there, but I had lots of chances. I hit a couple posts yesterday, (and) had a couple good chances TERRELL SUGGS jersey today. I just didn't have the finish, didn't have my hands. (That) may be understandable for the middle of July, but I've got to get back on the ice and get back to work here next week."

Probably a good idea, considering the competition he and other Hawks prospects will face in just a couple of months at training camp.
