Description

Usually Habs run two full rosters for the first few weeks of training camp with the first handful of cuts that happen before any pre-season games begin.

So my first cuts are:

Condotta, Mysak, Maillet, Trudeau, Beaudin, Keeper.
(Realistically their would be more cuts, as there are always a few players who play almost all pre-season games, ie Beck last year)

What shocks me this upcoming pre-season, is that there will be realistically only 1 or 2 spots available on the season starting roster, but a good 10-15 players who have a legit shot at claiming those spots…

My darkhorse candidate to claim a spot is Heineman. With Beck and Roy as the guys I hope do well enough to push Kent Hughes to fire Hoffman, Pitlick, and maybe Armia into the sun.

No I don’t believe so, only players with signed NHL contracts or PTOs can attend training camp
