Don’t know which defenseman will be on the roster which is why they aren’t automatics. Could be all three, could be two of them.

After watching Tage Thompson embarrass Bear last night, I’d move him for future considerations at this point.

Historically, they've only carried 7 d-men. And I hope Bear's contract doesn't make him an obligatory roster addition.

Rod extended last year so he’s got two years left as does Martinook.

They both only did 2 year extensions. So after this season should be contract year for both.

My bad for some reason I thought they only did 2 year contracts. Looks like they both did 3.

If Bear gets moved; then I think Drury goes down for a day, Stepan gets signed for whatever amount gets us within a million of the salary cap, Gardiner goes on LTIR, Patches goes on IR, and Drury gets called back up.

Roster:

Forwards (14)

Teravainen - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Stastny - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Drury - Kase

Extras - Stepan, Noesen

Defense (7)

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

de Haan - Coghlan

Chatfield

Goalies (2)

Andersen

Raanta

Injured Reserve (1) - Paccioretty

Long Term Injured Reserve (1) - Gardiner

Unfortunate on Martinook’s part lol. He’s a great extra but Rod refuses to sit him.

At least seven if they do carry eight then unfortunately Bear will be here. I feel like they are trying to move him which is why the roster wasn’t finalized today. If he’s moved then they can keep everyone else once Gardiner (LTIR) and Paccioretty (IR) are dealt with.

Honestly I like Marty. Especially during playoff time. His attrition ability is great. But can we just let him cheerlead for most of the regular?

Didn't he sit a large portion of the playoffs last year? For some reason, I seem to remember that was a head scratcher.

And, to be honest, I thought he might be on his way out when Domi signed last season. But, you're right, Rod loves him and there's a reason in the lockeroom why the team gave him an "A".

Thought he was hurt but could be wrong.

Marty is a leader. Skill or not tats something you can’t replicate. It’s a culture thing. He stays this year, gets his ring and then he retires.

I hate to be that guy, and as much as I like him, but Martinook needs to be waived and he either gets picked up by another team or he ends up in Chicago.

I know this won't happen because he seems to be Rod's type of player, but amongst the players on the bubble he is by far the least skilled at this point.  He's a great teammate, brings some energy, but 98.9% of the time he isn't going to score a goal that he should have due to pure skill. 

I also think that a spot could be cleared with a trade of Bear.  I just think he was outplayed by Coghlan and Chatfield.  Although this may not be an option due to Coghlan getting banged up in the last game.

I am worried about losing Noesen to waivers as I think he has what it takes to be on the 4th line.  He also makes it a more dangerous scoring line as well.

Are you saying you don’t like first line Marty?
