One of those things has been adding mass to his lanky 6-foot-5 frame, something he's struggled to do since turning pro. He came into camp this month weighing 218 pounds, which is considered his ideal playing weight. To maintain that, though, he must consume as many as 6,000 calories per day.

"I'm not psychotic about it," he said. "I just know I have to eat a lot and eat well."

While we wait for Karl Alzner to come up, I think Stecks is gonna give us plenty of good material.

Final 23-man roster is due to the NHL by tomorrow at 3pm....

George Solomon on Olie....
