Not sure if you realize that both Kane and Bear are injured and going to miss MONTHS of the season. Kane had hip surgery in June and is out 4 months, so likely late October early November at the earliest. Bear had shoulder surgery in June and is out at least 6 months.

Not really an option that will work well. Even utilizing LTIR, we are thin at WBS forwards to play in their place.

we'll see, hopefully Smith, DOC, and Nylander can take some spots
