Silver Nuggets: Who's Up First - Prince or Puempel?

The rumour mill is swirling around the Senators as the team's chances of making the playoffs grow slimmer. If and when Bryan Murray decides to drop the hammer on this season and make a trade or multiple trades, it has the potential to create some real lineup flexibility for the first time all season. Because the team has carried 8 defenseman all year, they've been unable to call up many players from Binghamton.

Today's Nuggets asks this question: who would you like to be called up from Binghamton first: Matt Puempel or Shane Prince?

Matt Puempel - LW

Puempel was drafted 24^th overall in the 2011 draft by Ottawa. The winger is in his second season of pro hockey after scoring 30 goals in his rookie campaign with Bingo. At 22, he's currently fourth in Bingo scoring with 11 goals and 28 points in 46 games.

Shane Prince - LW

Prince was also drafted in 2011, but he went 61^st overall. Prince is more familiar to Ottawa fans because of his 2+ seasons as an offensive star with the Ottawa 67's in junior. Prince is in his third year of pro hockey with Bingo. At 22, he currently leads Binghamton in scoring with 17 goals and 37 points in 44 games.
