Maybe but probably not.
TiVo in for Handzus
Smith resigned
------------------- on ice roster full
Morin resigned
Hjalmarsson signed
That's 14 forwards + Nordstrom lurking or a wildcard like Ross/McNeill/Danault/Broadhurst/Hayes.
There's always a surprise forward that makes it. No need to resign Regin, although I have really liked him so wouldn't be opposed if he wanted to play near the league min.
I don't envision Bickell on the roster next season, not with a $68 million salary cap. Nordstrom will still retain his waiver exempt status next season, so it would be a waste for Nordstrom to rot in the press box.
