Milano, who missed the majority of last season with an upper-body injury, is expected to be a full participant by the time training camp comes around. He has skated this summer, and general manager Chris Patrick said that he's feeling well and healthy enough to try and make a comeback. Milano will have to show quite a bit at training camp, considering he not only sat out for a long time with injury, but that he also struggled to open last season. When it comes down to it, though, expect Milano to make quite a statement, and don't count him out for a roster spot. The 29-year-old has shown he can be a difference maker when he's healthy and available, thanks to his stickhandling ability, vision and shot. He needs to work on consistency and his two-way play, but overall, he's a proven NHLer who can bring some stability to the third line, which was a bit of a question mark over the course of last season. That said, nothing's guaranteed for Milano, who appeared in just three games last season. He will have to beat out heavy competition, with Hendrix Lapierre and Ivan Miroshnichenko looking to make the full-time NHL jump, Ethen Frank looking to keep his roster spot and Andrew Cristall trying to force the coaching staff's hand again. Training camp opens in mid-to-late September.
