Opening Night Lineup

Roster is too big. 23 is the max.

I don't think MacDonald or Bordeleau make the team.

You're forgetting Kyle Burroughs. He'll make the team almost surely.

I also expect Couture to be healthy but that's just a guess.

Sheng Peng (reporter for the sharks) talked with Quinn and said it's looking bleak for Couture to join them for opening night.

I don't think MacD makes the team either and is put on waivers. Bords stays on until Couture is back. I'm not 100% sure on Burroughs, I guess you can replace him with Knyzhov, but it's tough to figure out who would you rather place on waivers between Knyzhov, Burroughs, Simek (when healthy), and Emberson.

Since Couture is out then I agree about giving Bordeleau a shot.

Okhotiuk also seems to be carrying an injury, and Quinn said that Emberson could play NHL minutes.

If Simek is placed on waivers no one claims him almost certainly. It's also questionable whether anyone claims Knyzhov because of his 2 year deal despite the NHL experience.

I also don't think Gawanke will make the roster and will pass through waivers.

Kind of cool to look back at this. Lindbolm to the Cuda with Gawanke. MacDonald on IR.
