Bruins will have to have a 23 man roster. There are too many waiver eligible players to only carry 22. With this team, Lauko and possibly Walsh get claimed.

Interesting. Thanks for the input

Not enough for Ullmark. Rather wait and get a better offer.

There isn't really a good comparable goalie move that's enough to justify a team moving a first+ for him. I would say a potential Helle trade, but he likely stays for now as WPG still want to be competitive.

Walsh is already assigned to the AHL, he'll only need waivers if he gets called up. Mitchell is assigned to the NHL roster and will need waivers, so he likely stays, leaving one extra forward slot if Forbs is not moved. IF Forbs is moved it'll probably be Mitchell, Greer, Brown as extras.

The player needs to go through waivers to start the season in the AHL which is the case for Walsh.

I was unaware, I thought since they ended the season on the AHL roster that they would stay on the AHL roster. My NHL Roster/Capology knowledge needs some work.

That would mean Mitchell, Walsh, Lauko, Regula, Wotherspoon, Richard, Brown, Megna, Steen, Renouf, DiPietro, Keyser would all need waivers after the pre-season?

Yes, indeed. Most of them should clear, Lauko is highly likely to remain up, slight chance Regula gets claimed, but he should clear and it could go either way for Steen and Walsh.

Ullmark isn't likely to waive his NTC to return to his former team and become a backup again - which is what Buffalo would want him to be behind Levi.

Geekie is a 4th line center. Zacha is 2C, Coyle is 3C, the lineup is a big mess, and it has no 1C

Geekie has a lot of untapped upside. I imagine they may try him in the middle so that they can keep the Pasta and Zacha chemistry while Zacha is on the wing.
