My guess, Almost certain : Roy. Likely : Heineman; Unlikely : Reinbacher, Hutson, Mailloux; Would be very surprised : Beck, Kapanen, Engstrom, Luke Tuch; Nope all others

Barron gets so much disrespect, talked about like he’s a throwaway. He’s only 22! Thankfully I know Hughes sees his potential.

Roy is an NHLer at this point unless his injury really fucks him.
With that in mind, as well as considering our bottom 6 is pretty much filled up with guys we can’t easily move, we really only have 1 forward spot that could realistically be taken by a prospect. They just have to outplay RHP and Pezetta convincingly enough that Management believes it’s the right move to bring em up. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we just kept all of the guys down in the AHL for the season, or until injuries/trades happen.
Defense is a bit harder to predict. I think the only guarantees are Matheson, Guhle and Savard, and the rest of the spots are up for grabs. We’ll have some tough calls to make with the guys who’ll be open to waivers, and there’s the question of what we’re doing with the 7D spot. Have a rookie there and rotate? Or sign on somebody for insurance there? I’m not really confident in making any predictions with our Blue Line, I’m just excited to follow that competition when camp starts up.

Remember by October a few guys will be nursing injuries which actually for once will be a bit of a blessing.

Mailloux is the one prospect I can see making the team if he has a great camp. He’s a right defensemen which is our weak spot
