I fully expect the bold, and generally, the decision that is the path of least resistance.

Can't risk losing high end assets like Bryson or Olofsson for nothing.
- kingcong39

The ultra path of least resistance is to let no kids make the team and carry Bryson, Stillman and Comrie as the extras with no 13th forward.

There are usually injuries before the first game tho. I think they should waive Bryson because nobody is going to touch that salary. Will they though?

I fully expect the above, injuries aside.

I think they'll keep all 8 D and 3 goalies.

There's a reason Rousek's new deal is structured like it is.

Probably. I think there's at least some chance that one of Benson/Kulich/Rousek, et al make the team which pushes Jost to an extra and Bryson to the minors.

It makes more sense to carry Jost, Stillman and Comrie and I just can't see anyone picking up Bryson (I double dog dare them to)

Remind me: How long did it take them to finally cut the cord with Fitzgerald before waiving him last season?

Would it push Jost to being an extra or Olofsson?

They had no trouble sitting Olofsson when it mattered most last season.

Benson in, Rousek to Rochester?

Would they sit Olofsson over Jost as the extra forward?

What line does Olofsson get anchored to?

Casey, Cozens, Peterka?

Does Benson get to roll with Greenway and...who?
- kingcong39

I think Benson goes back to juniors personally, regardless of how he does. I just don't think he'll sit Olo and Rousek is the better candidate to be an extra forward IMO.

Well hope that's not injury related. But intrigued to see Nadeau. Is he another Brett Murray, has the hands and the Physicality you want, but the skating hinders that.
- Buff36

I was very underwhelmed by him so far. The skating is atrocious as we know, but he isn't super strong on the puck or physically imposing out there either. He's got a lot of work to do.

Would it push Jost to being an extra or Olofsson?

- kingcong39

To that I'd say it mattered most about a month before they did it. They waited a long time to pull the trigger.

They drag their feet on everything.

Either one really. I think Olofsson gets a shot to start the season just because of his potential upside

Washington would imo

Well I hope it's just a adjustment period for him. Think tonight will be more of a telling tale.

Upside meaning early in the season when physicality is at its lowest, and players who are allergic to contact can play without fear, as if they are in a non-contact jersey?

- Lunaion

Yes they do.

They seem to only make moves when they have to.

Yup, heard that 2-1/2 years ago.
- IonSabres

pay month to month

and always have a back up plan

Ek forget to pay the bill?

For sure, he's not like a lot of our other prospects and I was hoping to see him and Poltapov in our bottom6 for years to come. But I'll be surprised if he can turn it around that quickly, especially given the increase in skill amongst his opposition in preseason vs the prospects tourney. I will be happy if I'm wrong.

“Two weeks after former NFL star Mike Williams arrived at St. Joseph’s Hospital and a week before he died there, the grandmother and the mother of his daughter contacted Tampa Police.
They said they heard someone had brought him Percocet, a prescription opioid painkiller, the day Williams went into cardiac arrest, according to records obtained by the Tampa Bay Times.”

https://www.yahoo.com/new...tances-nfl-120900669.html
I assumed he was hurt at work and that was that...never heard of anything like he experienced. Williams walked away from the accident at work with “just a headache”, it took time for any symptoms to show...then he took his daughter to the store and couldn’t get out of the car, couldn’t walk.
