Two of those 28 players are Bardreau and McDonald, so they only have to cut three guys to get down to 23. Most likely Leier, Vecchione and Sanheim.

14 forwards
8 Claude Giroux – 14 Sean Couturier – 93 Jakub Voracek
40 Jordan Weal – 64 Nolan Patrick – 17 Wayne Simmonds
11 Travis Konecny – 51 Valtteri Filppula – 15 Jori Lehterä
12 Michael Raffl – 21 Scott Laughton – 24 Matt Read
54 Oskar Lindblom/ 58 Taylor Leier – 74 Mike Vecchione – 22 Dale Weise

7 defensemen
9 Ivan Provorov – 48 Robert Hägg
50 Sam Morin – 47 Andrew MacDonald
23 Brandon Manning – 53 Shayne Gostisbehere
57 Travis Sanheim – 3 Radko Gudas

Four exe games left. Things can still change but the main takeaway for me so far is clear the decks and give the kids a shot.

I only saw the Boston game. Morin looked like the best of the 3 out there. Sanheim looked quite a bit better than Hagg.... but that's only one game, like you pointed out.

I will say that Morin looked noticeably more polished and ready than the other two in that bout. That second rookie D spot looks like a battle between Hagg and Sanheim and that's a GREAT problem to have.

Is it the refs fault that they either:
A. Have no running game
Or
B. Have a coach who refuses to run the ball

Pederson will get bailed out by the atrocious Mcadoo/Eli combo.

And someone needs to tell Mcadoo that his haircut is as bad as his play calling and offensive scheme.

The Eagles decimated secondary may cost them this game.

Mcadoo might be the worst coach in the league. And that is saying something

It'll be a miracle if he lasts the season. Those last 2 offensive plays calls were just comical.

Vecchione, Leier, Read, and Sanheim. Not sure about the other forward who gets cut.
- bmeltzer


Yeah, you think Read is going down to the Phantoms to start the season?

They only need to cut two forwards, so if Read goes down Leier or Vecchione is staying up.

Right now they have 16 (healthy) forwards remaining in camp. Depends on whether they want to carry 13 or 14 forwards. Hextall has said he prefers to carry 7 D rather than 8.
