I take that risk.

He’s outplayed Bolduc , I see a very solid D. Even though Bolduc has been improved, not sure what type of D he will be going forward

Way too much short term thinking on who is going to be the 7th defensemen

The fact that we could lose a player via waiver claim is good news, not bad. There's finally legit depth.

Under that truth, we will lose someone. Bolduc is the future on LD. He's not getting exposed to waivers.

Looks like he’s out of the starting 12 right now.

Nah.

Nah.

Roy is at the very least considering it! Through 30 games and a training camp all he's seen is a 1 dimensional player. It's possible that Gauthier may have 2 dimensions.

Yep, Bolduc gets insta-claimed. He would have needed to go down with all of the other players before waivers were active, but they get reinstated 12 days before the beginning of the season. Believe that Hutton and Cholowski will both need to pass through waivers at this point.

I think Cholowski is a late bloomer who may have figured out why he was a first rounder. If he is sent down , hope he doesn’t get claimed but
I think he might

When asked about Gauthier skating with Cizikas and Maclean, Roy says he's looking for someone with speed, energy, capable of making plays and getting a big goal in that spot.

And sending a message to Engvall that he needs to impact every shift to earn a spot

I would not be surprised to see Engvall traded in the next few days. He's a solid player who does not fit Roy's system of quick puck movement.
