This is the way I'm looking at it. I always assume 13 forwards and 8 D make opening night.
Locks at forward (9):
Miller
Boeser
DeBrusk
EP
Joshua
Garland
Heinen
Sherwood
Blueger
Bubble guys at forward (need 4):
Suter
Sprong
Hoglander
Podkolzin
Aman
PDG
All of these guys need waivers. They won't risk Hoglander or Podkolzin on waivers. They either make the team or get traded this summer. Suter is an interesting case. He's an NHL player, he's versatile, but he's also expendable if they can find an upgrade at 3C. I'm not convinced he'll be on the roster on opening night.
Abbotsford to start:
Karlsson
Raty
Bains
Sasson
Lekkermaki
