Hawks insider answers Latham's question

Is Patrick Lalime healthy for training camp. What will be Patrick's expected job? -- John Latham, Port Colborne, ON. John, Lalime is 100% recovered from his shoulder injury last season and will serve as Khabibulin's backup this year. He is on a one-way contract, so the only way you're likely to see Crawford or Sebastien Caron is if Khabibulin or Lalime gets injured. The Blackhawks have high hopes Crawford, who needs at least one more full year in the American Hockey League. You want young goalies to play, and it doesn't benefit Crawford or the Hawks to have him sitting on the bench here in Chicago.
