Good to see Geno back on the ice quickly. Hopefully he can string a few healthy months together.

I can probably figure this out with some time, but hoping someone else has already done the leg work. Taxi squad is a separate issue from players 21-23 on the roster correct?

So with Svechnikov requiring waivers, and me not wanting to risk it, I can keep him as my 13th forward without exposing him to waivers? Whereas someone like Nielsen, I’d be open to him being claimed if anyone wanted him, so I’d expose him and settle for the taxi squad if that happens to be the case.

Is that an accurate representation of how the roster is working this year?

That is my understanding as well. The only difference between the taxi squad and a healthy scratch is that they have to clear waivers and players on 2 way contracts get paid AHL salary (does not apply to Nielsen obviously).

I read the article below.... did not realize that having a taxi squad goaltender is mandatory.

Took me longer than it should have to find Ras on the 5-on-5 lines. "HOW THE F COULD HE BE ON THE PP AND NOT ON EVEN- Oh there he is. There he is..."

guessing Djoos bumps Biega to taxi & we'll roll with 8D. With condensed schedule, we'll likely need it.
Who do you have as the 8? I would claim Kylington and waive Biega:

DK- Hronek
Kylington- Stecher
Merrill-Djoos/Nemeth/Staal

Looks a lot better than last year that is for sure.

Agreed 100%. I do wanna see Lindstrom up, but I think the top 8 you listed works til someone gets moved, then call him up, it's a few months at best.

The whole "unfit to play" line where they can only say those words and nothing more because of a players union mandate since the 2020 restart, right?

This might be new to fans of teams who weren't included in the 2020 restart but I think that's how the league's been doing it since late July-ish.

Sorry that I'm so late to this party but I wrongly assumed the taxi squad didn't require waivers. For an organization like Detroit in which the AHL club is only a few hours drive away, a taxi squad doesn't really make much of a difference, eh?

Yeah, "unfit to play", UBI (upper-body) and LBI (lower-body) seems to the new terms in use.
