I'd imagine we start out with something along the lines of:
Tkachuk-White-Batherson
Duclair-Tierny/Anisimov-Ryan
Ennis-Pageau-Brown
Boedker-Tierny/Anisimov-Davidsson/Balcers
Paul/Chlapik
EDIT: Completely forgot Ennis. He's got a spot locked up as well
In the young prospect we have who have to past by waiver to send down
I wonder if the team will carry extra bodies to start the year, given they have a 3 game road trip out west (games 6, 7 and 8). I wouldn't be overly surprised to see guys like Formenton and Brannstrom break camp with the team only to be sent back before the 9 game mark for some extra seasoning.
3 forward spots and 2 defense?
Forwards:
Tkachuk - White - Duclair
XXXX- Tierney - Brown
XXXX -Anisimov - Ryan
XXXX -Pageau - Ennis
Boedker waived?
Basically Balcers, Batherson, Brown, Formenton, Chlapik, Paul, Davidsson to fight for 3 spots, maybe 4 spots if Ryan comes back even fatter and slower than last year. 5 spots if Duclair looks disinterested.
Defense you got:
Chabot - Zeitsev
XXXX - DeMelo
XXXX - Hainsey
Boro?
Wolanin, Braanstrom, Jaros, Lajoie to fight for 2 spots.
ThanksBased on cap friendly the waiver eligible players are Jordan Szwarz, Nick Paul, Michael Carcone, Morgan Klimchuk, Cody Goloubef, Nick Ebert and Andreas Englund.
Nick Paul is the real notable player here. He has a pretty good chance to make the team given how he has looked last season, his age/experience and the fact that he is waiver eligible. He certainly has an edge over every prospect when it comes to the 13th forward spot. So if late in training camp it comes down to Paul vs another prospect for a 12/13 spot they will likely keep Paul up and send the other prospect down so they can get more minutes.
FWIW, Davidsson may have been promised a roster spot already.
Thought Davidsson couldn’t sign this year due to his contract? His out clause is after this upcoming season no?
He was just doing the PTO for “down the road” if an opportunity pops up.
Hes on an ELC signed with Columbus and acquired by the Sens. All ELCs are with the big club. Cap Friendly also tells you he has a NHL salary and a minors salary and that he is waivers exempt.I know nothing about contracts, but he's listed as having a contract with the Sens on CapFriendly
