I don't really see Sandin and Liljegren on the taxi squad. Unless there is no AHL season. A game here or there won't be great for their development.

I see Rosen and Marincin on the taxi squad (possibly Warsfosky). Sandin can still jump to the front of the line if there is a dman that suffers a lengthy injury.

I'm pretty sure that Dell will get claimed, because doesn't the taxi squad have to go through waivers?

And I believe you can fit Boyd and Liljegren in the roster

It certainly appears that way. Not sure how the initial taxi squad will be formed and whether or not they will be able to avoid putting dell on waivers.

The one thing to keep n mind is that all 31 teams will probably need to put a goalie through waivers. Even if dell is picked up on waivers there will be 32 goalies put through as the team acquiring him will need to send another goalie through waivers. I’m sure there are a few waiver exempt goalies but I can’t see there being many.

The only other option would be to use dell as the healthy scratch and swap exempt players in and out. It would really handcuff the team and I don’t think it is worth it.
