Confirmed with Link: Senators Announce Training Camp Roster

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Yes, had to forget one. I saw a lot of people didn't like his game last night but I thought he was noticeable especially in transition. Played with a lot of speed and got after the puck, which is what his role would be if he has a chance.

Of course right. Appreciate the work put in regardless.

I am giving Jenik the leg up atm, but we'll see. Wouldn't mind both guys kept up with Mac being sent down for now.

What the hell is Kulemin still doing there?

What the hell is Kulemin still doing there?

Seems like they are just keeping the guys who are there on try out with no ties to the org anywhere.

Guys who are signed for Belleville are released and down in Belleville, both Addison and Kulemin can just be released at the end of the camp, don't need to get them acclimitized anywhere.

Couple of warm bodies who aren't in the plans, in all likihood, in the orginization. No harm in keeping them around, none of the guys who were sent back should be in camp any longer, and they can get setup in Belleville.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

What the hell is Kulemin still doing there?

It's kind of perfect really. He's a guy with basically no shot to make it, but he's an extra body and they can send all the guys to Belleville camp that they want there. NHL experience to boot.

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux
Perron-Norris-Batherson
Greig-Pinto-Amadio
Gregor-Jenik-Cousins
Kulemin-Gaudette-MacEwan
Ostapchuk-Highmore

Chabot-Zub
Sanderson-Hamonic
Kleven-Jensen
Yakemchuk-JBD
Roos-Addison
Sebrango

Ullmark
Forsberg
Sogaard
Tokarski
Merilainen (Inj)


From my count that's what remains.

Two spots up for grabs up front assuming Cousins has a 4th line spot locked up. Gregor, Jenik, Ostapchuk, and MacEwen are competing for those two spots. Highmore & Gaudette will be waived and Kulemin will probably be cut, or maybe sign an AHL PTO.

D looks set. All the D on a 1-way starting on the roster, and all the D on 2-ways will be cut/sent down sooner or later. Yakemchuk might get a few games and maybe a month of NHL practice & paychecks.

Yep Cousins and Gregor are absolute locks

Yep Cousins and Gregor are absolute locks

I would put Gregor as a roster lock but if they carry 13 F, maybe he doesn't start.

 

[SensFactor]

I have Highmore, Kulemin being waived next with Ostapchuk being sent down to Belleville.

I agree Cousins, Gregor are locks. So last spot belongs to Jenik or Gaudette. MacEwen is the 13th forward. IMO its Jenik's to lose.

 

[Sting]

I'm not a fan of Gaudette in a 3rd or 4th line role. Jenik seems to fit what they're looking for perfectly.

23 Man Roster:
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Stutzle - Pinto - Giroux
Cousins - Greig - Perron
Gregor - Janik - Amadio/MacEwan

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jensen
Kleven - Hamonic/JBD

Ullmark - Forsberg/Tokarski

- not sure what they plan to do with Tokarski, I doubt they carry 3 goalies, but I already prefer him over Sogaard until Sogaard can become much more consistent. It's likely he could end up in Belleville to give them some stability in net & be an experienced callup.

 

[Ouroboros]

In his article about Kulemin's comeback attempt, Chris Johnston sort of suggested that he'll be offered a role in Belleville if he wants it. That would at least give him a shot at working his way back up.

Perhaps they have something similar in mind for Addison. He hasn't been very good in camp, but at least he has 150 games of NHL experience. In past years they've had a guy or two in Belleville with substantial NHL experience to serve as a recall option [Larsson, Goloubef] but this season they don't really have that. Roos and Davies are each at about ~20 games.

That would be a decent thing to do for Kulemin given his kid is playing hockey in Toronto just a couple of hours away.

Would be good to have a seasoned vet like Kulemin in Belleville teaching the young kids, but Staios may need to deal someone to make room, as Belleville's roster is already pretty full with bodies.

 

[Dionysus]

Has there been a roster with updated heights and weights released?

 

[HoweHullOrr]

It will be interesting to see if Guenette, Matinpalo, and Reinhardt. There’s a glut of players that hit the waiver wire at this time of year, so there’s a decent chance they clear.

Kulemin was a surprise. He seems so slow like he’s stuck molasses.

 

[Micklebot]

Brent Wallace tweeted the training camp roster, not sure if the weights were updated though.

 

[PlayersLtd]

Worth mentioning the amount of respect you have to give to a guy like Kulemin if he does in fact take a job in Belleville. Purely for the love of the game

Guys like Mike Keane, Chris Chelios, Rod Langway etc... Nothing to gain at this point in their careers and accepting of the fact that they're no longer NHLers but you just can't keep them away from playing competitively

 

[The Waffler]

Honestly surprised I didn’t get cut today

Days not over!

When I played football, we didn't have cuts because there weren't enough kids.

Kulemin in Belleville would be fine.

I doubt that he will get a 2-way contract. Probably an AHL deal. We are at 47/50 contracts, and he has virtually no chance of playing for us in the NHL.

 

[EXTRAS]

Didn't expect crookshank to be cut so early in camp. I guess that's probabpy it for him ever being a senator.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Yep Cousins and Gregor are absolute locks

Only one of those guys are absolute locks (even though I agree they’ll both be on it).
Cousins and Gregor are not in the same place.
Gregor is in ahead of Ostapchuk/Jenik type guys so likely on the team, while Cousins is like Amadio/Perron value guy.
Hes not even in question.

Don't paper cuts count?

as a crookshank fan I was disappointed by his preseason showings. It felt like he came in as a guy that expected to have a spot on the roster instead of fighting for one.
