[La Bamba]

Oilers should have 26 year old Noah Philp for opening day

Canucks have Silovs in net.
Raty and Bains still up and fighting for jobs but when injured players come back only one at most will stick. Probably Bains I’m guessing but not many spots open at forward with a healthy lineup so could be none.

 

[TheBeard]

Sharks may have one or two. Nothing certain though.

does Robertson still count as a rookie?

Silovs (likely #1 with Demko out), Raty (wait is he a rookie?) and Bains. Liking this new wave of kids, with more to come.

Wallinder will join them next year with Lekkermaki and Pettersson

Crazy how Devils are stacked to the brims in defensive depth. I wonder if the Devils will have to trade a D due to their depth? Wonder what it takes to get Seamus or at least Pesce

No, he didn’t count last year as well.

 

[HockeyVirus]

No, he didn’t count last year as well.

How is that possible? He barely had any NHL games prior to last year

21/22 was his last year of eligibility

To be eligible for the Calder Memorial Trophy, a player cannot have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional league. Beginning in 1990-91, a player must not have attained his 26th birthday by Sept. 15 of the season in which he is eligible.

How is that possible? He barely had any NHL games prior to last year

He lost rookie status in his second season. 6+ games in each of two seasons means you're out of the Calder contention. He played 6 in 20-21 and 10 in 21-22 so he already wasn't a rookie in 22-23 2 years ago.

did Yak make it for the Sens? he looked really good IMO

Not sure yet, possibly starts the season, then goes back. ?
He’s looked good though, and put up more points than I thought, 7 in 4 games.

if he keeps playing at the same level I can't see them justifying sending him back down, his IQ, confidence and poise were eye opening for a kid just drafted
