20 man roster.

If they can't dump Mathieu, they are gonna have to trade Kubalik for some picks. Which is fine, he's not in the medium or long term plans anyways.

Let's not ignore that you've just lost JBD on waivers, which would be unacceptable. If you want a 20 man roster that let's you keep JBD you could always do the crazy thing of putting Brannstrom in as a winger and sending Kelly through waivers - he's got a way better shot of clearing than anyone else. Let Joseph play some games until a GM realizes that getting him WITH a 2nd round pick added as a sweetener is a pretty decent move.

Kubalik and Hammonic are great trade chips. There is a shortage of RHD and if JDB & Thomson have a good camp, I'd ask Hamonic if he'd like to go to another contending team, and because of the shortage you can grab a 2/3 round pick. Same for Kubalik. Hes a vet that can play anywhere in your lineup, i rather keep him over Joseph but alas sens are stuck with him .
