I'm not convinced at this point Marchand won't be ready to start the season with the mid-October start date.
Even if he's not ready, if 46 and 37 return doesn't look to be enough room at the inn.
I don't think the Lysells and Beecher's of the world stand much of chance of making this roster.
figure youre going to carry 13 to 14.
theres 12 right now on the roster including Marchand. Wagner can be waived again too.
Getting you don to 11 including Marchand. Bergeron and Krejci are 12 and 13. Im not seeing an issue. Certainly not a big issue.
I dont see Lysell and Beecher starting anywhere but Prov. Unless Marchand not ready as so far documented, They are waiver eligible. They both need pro seasoning.
