Projecting Out The Final Roster |

Expect a surprise or two, but most of the roster is set because #44-53-18-32 are likely not going anywhere. Clearly there are more forwards then spots, not even counting anyone from Bridgeport. Shabanov will be a hit or a miss. We have seen many players sent down to Bridgeport from Russia who return home quickly if they don't play in the NHL. I don't see Ritchie in the NHL. Engvall will always clear waivers with his contract. No way Heineman does not make the team based on who Darche traded for him. I can't see Lee being traded before the deadline but #21 got his extension. Duclair is staying with his contract or heading to waivers.
Drouin-Barzal-Holmstrom/Duclair-Horvat-Tsyplakov/Lee-Pageau-Palmieri/Engvall-Cizikas-Gatcomb/Heineman-Ritchie-Shabanov-MacLean.
Pelech/Pulock/Mayfield/D'Angelo/Romanov/George/Schaefer/Boqvist
Sorokin/Varlamov/Rittich
Defense is thin on depth, they need George to win a spot, Schaefer is likely locked in.
I don't see Rittich, and Varlamov with Hogberg also likely headed to Brigeport.
Hopefully some decisions are made based on having some of the worst special teams teams in NHL history last season.
