Shumakov is still in camp and is waiver exempt.Shumakov waived too?
75 gp, 6 g 14 a, similar pace as last regular season with more games.What kind of offensive upside does Djoos have for this season?
Has Shumakov stated anywhere he's willing to play in Hershey? With Samsonov there might be a nice transition to have two Russians in the line up and such.
I'd rather see Stephenson at center. Doesnt look like it will happen.Sad to see Pilon go down. I wanted to see him get one more pre-season game in the 4C race. Right now it's a pretty lackluster contest between Dowd and Boyd, given that they seem deadset on Stephenson playing wing.
Why didnt you include Hobbs in that conversation? Instead you think one of the LD should be converted to the right side. Do you not think Hobbs has any potential?So Orpik-Carlson and Siege-Djoos?
Siege doesn't look big but he has big frame and good foot speed. He should be able to take PK shifts. A natural Orpik's successor. Can he play RD if needed?
Liked what I've seen from Siege yesterday. Bowey - not so much. But I doubt they will waive him.
If Kempny can't go - Siege will play instead of him, then go down to Hershey, that's my bet.
Overall they have potential players in LuJo, Siege, Alexeev... All LD. One of them could develop RD skills to make himself a slot in the lineup
Should be last year for Orpik here unless he wants to stay at press box all the time. With his age I think he can retire and be cool about it.
PS: A little taste of NHL now, full season in AHL plus getting stronger could make Siege ready next Fall.
Embrace the Dowd...

If Kempny is out? Prob 44-74. But I’d rather move 22–29-Siegs up w 74 and leave 44 in his 3rd pair duties. Not extend him yet. Let a kid cut teeth w 74
