From the Free Press:

Chelios is competing for minutes with Andreas Lilja and Brett Lebda. Lebda, though, has the advantage of being a puck-mover. Chelios and Lilja, however, are boosts to the penalty-killing units. Babcock plans to use the exhibition season, which resumes tonight with a game against Florida, to mull the third pairing.

I think the oldest player in the league will beat out Lilja, and barring injuries, will be paired with Lebda.
