Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

Saving grace to me is that RHD is a tough position to fill

True but unless he makes big strides this year, he's too much of a dud to deserve a reserve spot.

Thats Lenueas Spot.. Let him learn through the year.. Hes got the body to maintain a whole year of NHL.

I don't think Luneau sitting out of games is a good thing for his development. There's a good reason he's played this many preseason/rookie tourney games already.

I think we ultimately go 14F/7D. I think the default roster is the following:

Gauthier-Carlsson-Killorn
Zegras-McTavish-Terry
Vatrano-Strome-Fabbri
McGinn-Lundestrom-Leason
Johnston
Harkins

Fowler-Zellweger
Mintyukov-Gudas
Dumoulin-LaCombe
Vaakanainen

Dostal
Dansk

I’m pretty certain this is what we end up going with. The question is just if any of Sennecke, Gaucher, Colangelo, Nesterenko, Pysyk, Lindstrom, Luneau, or Clang can force someone out and I’m just not sure I’ve seen that so far. Maybe Pysyk or Lindstrom get a two way deal

Would like Gaucher to force Lundestrom out.
Luneau will be on the roster. Zells has been kind of invisible in the preseason.

I like Luneau's potential a lot, but he made several plays last game that were worse than anything I've seen Zellweger do in the preseason. I know the organization loves Luneau, but there's still learning that he can do at the AHL level. I don't think Zellweger has much to learn down there. I wouldn't be surprised to see them both up with the Ducks, but I would be surprised to see Luneau make the team ahead of Zellweger.

Zells is an undersized d-man. If he isn’t making dynamic plays, he isn’t an NHLer. Playing safe hockey and being pushed around in the D zone isn’t his ticket to a long NHL career. Luneau is right handed, bigger, and has been driving the play on every shift this preseason.

I didnt say he is going to sit.. I meant like he needs to play.. Eventually Fowler will get traded.. Zellweger will take his place.. Leanue will play full
