Here's what Quinn does know right now: - Patrick O'Sullivan and Mike Comrie look like they've got some nice chemistry, although there's no guarantee they'll stay together on a line. O'Sullivan may yet wind up with Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff on the top line because nobody else has stepped up. O'Sullivan has four goals in three games, tops in the league so far this pre-season. Comrie has seven assists, which also tops everybody in pre-season.

Right-winger (Regina Pats - Jordan Eberle), who proved he can score in the American Hockey League in a late-season look in Springfield last March/April with nine points in nine games, isn't going away. He was good in Vancouver against the Canucks on Saturday and the best Oilers forward in Saskatoon on Sunday against the New York Islanders. He's still eligible to play junior with the Regina Pats, but he has a knack of getting open at the NHL level. He's small on a team of vertically challenged forwards, but he's probably going to stick around here until the last cuts.
