HuGo may try to sign a vet RD to a 1 year deal until they're sure Mailloux and Reinbacher are ready, and won't be rushed.

Also, HuGo may try to trade for a bonafide 1st pair RD and 2c. So it's a little premature to say how many spots there will be for rookies.

But yeah IF those were the forward subtractions, and IF There were no forward additions, have to think Demidov, Beck, and Kapanen would replace Evans, Armia, and Dvo. On D, I think Struble would beat out Mailloux and they'd go 2 LD's on the right side though. But I expect there to be a trade for an RD.

I'm not sure Mailloux is with the team next year. He might still be in Laval.

I think Demidov, Beck & Kapanen are the only sure things.

 

[McGees]

All signs are they are trying to trade some assets, like multiple 1sts / prospects for someone ready to make an impact immediately.
Doubt it is all rookies, and highly believe they acquire someone via trade/FA

 

[CAUFIELD]

2C is the most doable via UFA . Dach relegated to 3C would be ideal

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Could be Reinbacher instead of Mailloux, and could be Roy instead of one of Beck/Kapanen (Newhook would be playing center in that case)

 

[Habs13]

I don't think Mailloux or Roy are ready

I take KH at his word when he said, a few weeks ago, that getting younger is not the recipe to success. His cupboards are full of assets. He will use them to stock up on mature and ready players based on needs. The youngster will spend time in the minors our be used as trade chips.

Usually somebody has great camp and makes team. Could be Reinbacher
