Rookies that made your team's opening day roster

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.

 

[Dread Clawz]

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 Kleven

Edit: add Kleven, remove Yak.

 

[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.

Edit: Yak was sent down. He looked spectacular and was good enough to make the team, but the Sens must want to avoid rushing him.

 

[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.

Yak to WHL

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich has made the Sabres but more that they have three guys down with injuries already. We'll see if he can stay in and how he does.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Yak to WHL

I just saw that. Quite surprising, but true none the less.

 

[The Last Red]

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.

That was funny. The part about Ysk.

 

[BKarchitect]

Yeah it’s the right move. He couldn’t play in the AHL last season otherwise that’s where he would have been last year as well for most of the season. I don’t really think it’s regression so much as being able to put Korchinski at the right level this year.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Did Maverick Borque make the Stars?

 

[Magic Mittens]

Did Maverick Borque make the Stars?

Yes he did!

 

[Sombastate]

Looks like Michkov and Jett.

Think Luchanko making the team is a bad move, but what can you do.

 

[McJedi]

Avs.

Ivan Ivan and Nikolai Kovalenko very likely to make the club. Nikolai Kovalenko probably in a middle six role.

Ritchie is going to get his nine games with Artturi Lehkonen not quite ready to play yet. Cal had a few goals and assists in the preseason. One super silky breakaway goal. Played on line one with Mack in the last preseason game. Future looks promising for that young buck. If he plays well in his nine games, he may just end up a fixture on the team this year and going forward.

Agree with the poster above that indicated he needs a little more seasoning, but Ritchie's post draft progress has been very encouraging. Kid looks like he's got the goods to play a top six C role in the NHL if he maintains his trajectory.

Just ignore him or laugh at him like everyone else please. Worst troll we have. Lately it’s not even funny. He’s not even a rookie either

9 games I’m sure

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rangers most likely will have Rempe, Edstrom, and Mancini.

First two made it and will play on the fourth line. Mancini is a placeholder until Lindgren returns. I just don’t see how he won’t be sent down when Lindgren returns. Tough to say when that might be. Could be Lindgren makes it back for the first game or misses a few games.
