If you ask Matt Taormina, Terry's new teammate and former opponent in the AHL, the 28-year-old forward should be able to do some damage offensively once the puck drops at the Canadian Tire Centre.
"He was always a threat when we played against him. I think we played 12 times, including the playoffs. We know each other pretty well. He has a tremendous shot, and he always somehow finds the back of the net," described Taormina, who suited up for 70 games with the Syracuse Crunch last year. "He's a huge threat on the power play and a huge threat regardless, just coming down the wing. You have to watch him. A lot of guys are in the same predicament, but he's a good player out there. Whatever he can do, he'll do."
The predicament Taormina is referring to is the fact the 45 players remaining at camp will not all be starting the year with the big club. And with Laval Rocket training camp set to start on Monday, the game against Ottawa might be one last opportunity for some players to prove their worth.
