It sounds like Byron will be ready for camp, so its really 3 spots. Lehkonen and Hudon are already better than Armia and have better ES impacts and scoring rates than Tatar, so they should be safe bets to make the team too.
Deslaurier definitely shouldn't be a lock for the roster, since he's bad, and Montreal wont risk Scherbak to waivers. DLR isn't very good either, but will probably make the team too.
Shaw (who absolutely will play again, lets not plan on a different plane of reality) may be an issue for later in October, but not for camp.
Likeliest forwards to make the team:
Tatar-Drouin-Gallagher
Dom-Danault-Lehkonen
Hudon-Plekanec-Scherbak
Byron-Peca-Armia
Bench: DLR, Deslauriers
IR-Shaw
If Suzuki makes it (and he'd have to be AMAZING, which isn't where he's at right now), then the spot probably comes at the expense of DLR, Peca or maybe even Scherbak depending on camp. That's probably what happens when Shaw returns anyways. Especially since Suzuki would get a shot to play any forward position.
