Rookies that made your team's opening day roster

[Empoleon8771]

Penguins have McGroarty (L3 with Eller and Puljujarvi) and Blomqvist (backup since Nedjelkovic is injured), with potentially Brunicke getting a 9 game stint before going back to juniors. It's shocking how good Brunicke looks here, he was just drafted in the 2nd round this year but is making a legitimate case for playing in the NHL.

Oilers should have 26 year old Noah Philp for opening day

For the Islanders if Maxim Tsyplakov was born 5 days earlier he wouldn't be classified as a rookie(he just turned 26 as well)

Lane Hutson

Jett Luchanko, fresh off his 13OA pick in this year's draft, has all but made the opening roster for the Flyers. The majority of posters are thrilled. /s

Yeah i mean you guys have so many good defensive prospects that you would be forced to trade a defenseman otherwise they will ask for a trade due to limited playing time. I mean Nemec, Casey, Hughes, Sigenthaller, Pesce and Hamilton are all top 4D dmen. Plus as you said, you have Silyaev too. So in a year or two, you guys better trade one or two of them to make room

I would say the ones to move on from would probably be Hamilton & Siegenthaler when Silyaev gets here. Casey replaces Hamilton & all his PP minutes while Silyaev replaces Siegenthaler and all his defensive minutes. Our top 4 would be
Luke-Nemec
Silyaev-Casey
Whoever-Pesce

Will the Sens and Flyers have the two guys fighting for the Calder? Yak and Mich look to be, by far, the best of the rookie crop.

Hoven from Mayor's Manor (he contributes to the Kings and provides independent coverage) thinks Andre Lee, the Kings 2019 7th-round pick, will make opening night roster.

Ohgren and Khusnutdinov have made the opening roster at forward for the Wild. Wallstedt has made it as well, somewhat surprising that they are keeping them all up, they played well enough to deserve it, but the Wild potentially could have saved some cap. Good to see the team reward these guys for great camps.

Hunt deserves NHL time too but the D is stacked up nicely 1-6, any injury will get him a call up and play time over Merrill.

It was a good camp for the youth, apparently all that time and effort with the development team this past summer paid off, several guys looked to have taken significant steps forward.
