He only dropped 7 points.
Not sure why everyone expects players to always increase their point totals every year.
Not gonna happen.

How many of these players are expected to be on the opening night roster?

Any chance Suzuki makes the team?

Highly doubtful Suzuki makes the team despite looking good at camp. Kotkaniemi is more likely and it hasn't been confirmed either.

In this lineup, I'd say:

Alzner (unfortunately)
Lehkonen
Chaput (Maybe, until Deslauriers/Shaw comes back from injury at least)
Hudon
Scherbak (13th forward.... only not to lose him to waiver)
Kotkaniemi (Impressive progression since the beginning of camp).
De la Rose
Armia
Peca (looking very good and penciled as the 3rd line centre imo)
Ouellet (Much better than the likes of Benn , Azlner and Schlemko)

Niemi as Price's backup.

That's about how it looks. Rest are going to the AHL or in the minors most likely.

Suzuki...no chance

DelaRose
Armia
Peca
Lehko
Alzner
Hudon and Schebak are fighting for the same spot IMO
Niemi as back up of Price

No way Kotka makes the team, if he stick around...it's for a few games only IMO

If you combine the habs and the sens team, do they make the playoffs?

No.
But they make an actual nhl team.

To be fair, combining both teams pretty much means the Habs + Duchene, Stone and Chabot....

Aren't the Leafs violating the "veterans" rule?

Wait hang on. Nevermind. Marincin/Cracknell are 100+ NHL games.

Two of the worst defenses in the league. Even together, that'd be pretty bad with weber injured.

Putting Chabot with Weber though would be pretty sweet long term.

Picture the skater as Chabot and the parachute as Weber in his wheelchair.
