This is a question more than a story: Who is eligible to play for the B-Sens in the event of a lockout? It seems like we could have a pretty loaded roster if all the kids went down there Zibanejad, Silfverberg, Stone, Borowiecki, etc.

What about guys like O'Brien who might benefit from a bit more seasoning on the farm if there is no NHL until say January? Also, is there a deadline after which they would have to stay for the rest of the season in the AHL or anything like that? Is Bishop on a one-way or two-way deal?

Anyone with answers, I would love to get more info and have a fuller discussion about what could happen with the B-Sens in the case of a lockout. It's a lot less depressing than talking about hockey-related revenue and escrow payments...
