Well, according to Steve, Steve sets the roster, and the coach picks who plays nightly (which is pretty standard across the league). Jeff can make his case, but in the end it's Steve.

That's being said, I think Raymond and Ryan are in, Veleno is out (mainly because Veleno should be playing C, and he hasn't beaten any of the Cs in the lineup yet).

Rasmussen is likely starting the season on the IR, so Veleno WILL start in that slot, mark my words. He has certainly beat out Gagne for a roster spot.

I think he’s out performed vlad, ras, and any of the 4th liners/ rowney.
I also don’t view this year as a center must for him, but if it was you could just flip ras to the wing and let Joe center the third
