We're missing Tkachuk and White, so they'd normally be callups, likely behind Bishop and Kelly who are also hurtShaw and Sabourin are fringe AHLers, but you know, the rebuild is over!!

If we're not trading for anyone, we definitely need to claim at least two forwards
Shaw and Sabourin shouldn't see NHL ice
Are Logan Shaw and Scott Sabourin actually going to be part of the opening day roster? That's ugly.
Well, you're in the minority since a number of sources (coach, media, posters here, etc) have all been saying he's been good except that one game.
This is brutal. How am I supposed to pick which name to put on the back of my jersey?
So you can't come up with your own opinion and instead repeat what others say?
Haha, maybe you're new here but I'm pretty vocal in my opinion. Just saying that I'm not the only one in this instance. It's pretty much everyone vs @Sweatred which kinda tells you something.
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Stutzle - Pinto - C. Brown
Formenton - Paul - Ennis/Sokolov
Sanford - Paul - Sabourin
Rebuild is over yet the team is icing ECHL scrubs.

To be fair, they are missing 3 of their starting 12 forwards. That said, I don’t agree with Dorion that the rebuild is over. I think the team is heading in the right direction, but there’s still work to be done.

Bolded group should stay as is to start the season, let them play for a good 10-20 games minimum to see what they can do together. I especially would like to see Formenton in the top 6 while Brady is out to gauge whether he'd actually fit there or should be in the bottom six. He's shown quite a bit of growth in the offseason and we penciled him too quickly in the bottom half previously. He might still have another level in him which would be a great development for the team, hopefully the additional playtime and responsibility brings it out of him.
Missing 3 legitimate NHL players is going to hurt that's for sure. Things should be settled by next year if Ridly Greig makes the team as 3C, which appears likely. I love Sokolov and thought he'd definitely make the team this year, but he looked slow and gassed half the time in preseason, needs more conditioning if he's going to make the NHL. We're short on top RW, not sure if Soko or Boucher can fill that role anytime soon, or anyone else in the pipeline.

Have to give Dorion credit - it's not easy to put together a 23 man roster that only costs 47.6M in the NHL today. Very impressive.
