Pitters and Bradshaw left off the roster as Toldyaso said they were released.
Jack D'Arcy left off, assuming emergency / B Card.
Sutherland also left off, but assume he is going to be a B card/emergency this year, unless absolutely needed.
24 on the current roster.

What's it take for SSM to land Gavin Hayes?
What if Hayes interest is only to play in SSM?

Don’t be ridiculous. Martin and their picks rounds 2-6 for the next two years should get it done.
They gotta send us the younger Hayers too.
So then Gavin wants to be traded back here for pennies on the dollar.

It does seem like a realistic deal to start working out though. Soo is obviously looking to buy in. Flint should probably be looking to move Hayes. Especially if they’re keeping 06’s and 07’s and moving on from Pitters and Bradshaw. Uniting both Hayes brothers makes sense. I don’t know about trading in Division though.

You won't get Martin or Hayes but I'm sure Christopher Brown is on the table or maybe even Virgilio.
When was the last time a team had two sets of brothers playing on the team? Hayes would be a nice pickup
Erie had the Radysch and Maksimovich brothers at the same time 6 or 7 seasons ago.
Good to see Day back with the squad, hadn't seen it mentioned that he was returned.
Hayes must still be with Chicago.

I'm glad it's not just me. No sound, no clock, not good.
Day has had an awful first period which is really disappointing. Obviously it's a very tiny sample size, but I though he was going to take steps to next level and be elite in net. He's going to have to do much better than he has tonight.

Brutal start.
Big rebounds, and slow feet from the D doomed Day as well. He wasn't sharp by any means, but the D really could have helped him some more. 25-6 in shots is never good.
Time to hit reset tonight. Not overly concerned. There were a ton of crazy scores last night no one would have expected. It won’t be easy minus Giroux. Just an absolute stupid way to start out as Captain. They need a veteran D. It’s been my concern for awhile. There isn’t many OA’s left out there. Go get Punnet or Mayer. Just to stabilize the back end. If Kressler comes back, you know who you can drop or which one you could actually trade. It’s a rebuild year but I think the D needs a veteran addition.
The D looked slow last night for sure. Almost like a few of them werent expecting the speed of the game to be that fast.
Punnett or Mayer probably won't be available until the deadline but Cam Gauvreau from the Petes would be a cheaper addition who would be a settling presence for Flint. He also played in Saginaw so he is familiar with Michigan and the Western conference. His experiences an OHL champion would prove valuable IMO.
