Boedker shoots left & is listed as a LWer which is where you correctly placed him. I expect that they trade Pyatt, Paajarvi, one of Smith or Pageau or both, Wideman & whoever else he is able to move including a goalie leading up to the trade deadline to make room for the younger players. I also think that Tkachuck, Brown & Batherson get their 9 games before being sent down to the minors. I expect that Formenton will be returned to junior after a few games too.
I assume the roster that starts the season will be vastly different from the roster that ends the season, at least I hope so & Ottawa has moved at least half a dozen players. IMO there are two forward positions open to start the yr & White has one of those to lose & one defensive spot which I think is Wolanin's to lose. Paul should be given every opportunity to win & keep the other forward spot given his age & time with the org, up to him to keep it or go back to the AHL.
After the nine game stint for the rookies:
Boedker - Duchene - Stone
Dzingel - Pageau - Ryan
Paajarvi - White - Pyatt
Paul - Smith - McCormick/
Chabot - EK
Wolanin - Ceci
Boro - Wideman/Harpur
Anderson - Condon
There is no way Pageau is traded, he is one of the players that management wants everyone to model their game after, and after having traded Brassard it is necessary to keep him as a vet to help insulate the young centers Brown, White, Chlapik.
I appreciate you listing Smith as one of the guys that should be traded, from the bottom of my heart
