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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
