The starting roster for tonight's game which is aired at 10:00pm (EST) is a relatively young group void of many starters. It looks like they are trying to assess the many young players coming into camp looking for prominent places in the AHL and the few coveted roles left on the NHL squad. This has the makings of an extremely weak lineup.

The lines look as follows

Mikkel Boedker -Andy Miele - Brett MacLean
Brett Hextall - Colin Long - Patteri Nokelainen
Evan Bloodoff - Marc-Antoine Pouliot - Patrick O'Sullivan
Ryan Hollweg - Kyle Chipchura

Oliver Ekman-Larsson - David Schlemko
Tyler Eckford - Maxim Goncharov
Dean Arsene - Nathan Oystrick

Mark Visentin
Curtis McElhinney

*Extra Louis Domingue


Bold are possible starters

Italic are AHL and prospects (Of any kind)

Underlined are nothing players (Though a few of those AHL players warrant this as well)


I would like to say something positive about this squad but all I can say is "Getting their feet wet." There are a lot of players here who are young prospects and a ton who are absolute reclamation projects teetering on absolute wastes of space with one last chance at redemption.


Let's hope for a good solid game with few injuries, though only 4 Coyotes matter to me if any gets hurt.


Thanks for reading.
