I think Peterson should absolutely be on the NHL squad to start. He earned it last year. And I hope to see Bystedt stay in North America, it would really help to have him start getting used to NA play style

But I think this is pretty accurate, prior to training camp.

I agree he finished the year very strong in SJ and I'd like him too, but I just don't know who you take out. That would mean Lindblom goes down to the AHL (which I'm fine with) but one of Kunin, Zetterlund, or Labanc comes out of the lineup. I think Peterson should have a strong year in the AHL and then we'll bring him at after the TDL and give him middle 6 minutes.

yeah hope Bystedt stays in NA too, just not sure what's going on now.

I don’t see Knyzhov starting in the AHL, if anything Simek will be buried over him.

I agree Peterson should at least be the 13th forward.

I also could see MacDonald put on waivers and picked up since his cap hit is less than league min

I'm a bit concerned that Knyzhov, Okhotiuk, Gawanke, and Peterson would all have to clear waivers in order to be sent down to the Cuda after training camp. I wouldn't want to lose any of them. I'd rather send Smith, Lindblom, Simek, or MacDonald down. Ok if any of them get claimed off waivers.
