Maxim Tsyplakov and if you count him as a rookie still, Kyle MacLean

Must be an awesome experience having your dad behind the bench for every NHL game. I wonder if they'll do what the Habs did with Audette and his son and have him leave the room any time they discussed his son so there's no conflict of interest/drama. Granted, John MacLean is only an assistant so I doubt it'd have too much impact one way or the other.

For Florida, at least one of Samoskevich or Patrick Giles will make the team, if not both.

 

[Soundgarden]

Molendyk is still up for the Preds, would be a nice surprise.

Sent down today

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Kevin Korchinski (Bustchinski) did not make the Blackhawks and will no doubt carve out a long and productive AHL career.

Way to go.

 

[zenator]

Sens: Ostapchuk and Yakemchuk

Edit: add Kleven, I forgot he's a rookie.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Max Tsyplakov for the Isles

Don't think there's anyone else.

 

[BlueDream]

Blues:

Zack Bolduc
Matt Kessel (might not count as a rookie anymore but close enough)

I’m not even a Hawks fan, but you’ve got to be joking. He’s a KID! Pretty early to write him off.

 

[Osprey]

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.

Akil Thomas is also still a rookie. So, that's two for the Kings.

 

[KevinRedkey]

RD - Carter Yakemchuk
C - Zack Ostapchuk
LD - Tyler Kleven

Note: It seems Kleven's rookie season was last year when he played 9 games. He falls under the "6+ games two years in a row" rule.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

With injuries/suspensions, Kovalenko, Ritchie and Ivan Ivan will make the line up. Malinski should be the 3rd pairing RHD. Ritchie is probably only for a 9 game run, hes played well offensively but doesnt have a pro player's all around game yet.

Kovalenko and Ivan were both much better in the fine details of the game while being good offensively.
