My roster won't be popular but, as I said in the GDT, just keep all the vets on the roster, stash all the young bubble players and prospects in Utica. A guy like Goldobin, it's not like he deserves a spot anyway. He's been given a great chance to succeed and done nothing with it. Everyone has been so pedestrian in preseason that I honestly wouldn't blame management for not waiving a Granlund or Gagner in favour of - who? - Goldobin? Like, there's no incentive. He'll be just about as useless as Gagner. People have to realize this.
Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser
Eriksson - Pettersson - Gagner
Leipsic - Sutter - Virtanen
Motte - Beagle - Schaller
Granlund
Roussel (inj.)
Hutton - Tanev
Edler - Stecher
Del Zotto - Gudbranson
Pouliot - Biega (I would have Biega over Gudbranson but face it, that's not happening)
Markstrom
Nilsson
Waive Goldobin, Gaunce and Archibald, then send them to Utica.
Send Gaudette, Juolevi and Demko to Utica to develop and hopefully play big roles.
Once Roussel is healthy, then you make a decision on who to send down, whether that be a Motte, or Leipsic, or maybe a Granlund or Gagner.
