Description

Out of the 2 spots I left open, plus possibly the 7th D spot being open for challenge, out of the 3 players I put on the Taxi Squad, who could you guys see making the roster? I think Holtz should almost certainly be a lock for the team. Nemec could make the team but I don't see him being a 7th D. It's either he's in the AHL or is a top 6 in the NHL. Let me know what you guys think.

Those spots are filled by Foote and Holtz 99.9% of the time. There are no open spots.

7th D is Smith unless Nemec is actually too good for the AHL, in which case it's Miller

There are no spots open stop the panic. The 4LW will be rotation of Nosek and Foote. Why do you not wanna give Holtz a chance. Last year he wasnt given a fair chance cuz of the way the team was playing so
just stop panicking. Nemec will be in teh AHL why would you have two rookies on Defense on a cup contending team...

RW3 is Holtz’s spot.

LW4/C4 will be rotated imo. If McLeod gets a suspension from the Team Canada case, I can see that line being Foote-Nosek-Bastian for that period of time.

Like some of the comments mention, the 2 forward openings likely go to Holtz, Foote or possibly Clarke.

As far D, I do think there's a possibility Nemec wins the 3rd pair RD job coming out of camp. But I think the most likely scenario is that Miller takes that spot right now, and Nemec comes up later in the season.

Quoting: CalvinKlein

Unless if Nemec beats out both Miller and Smith, I'd rather he just starts in Utica. Bring him up if there's an injury and then see what we've got in him. I have a feeling though once he gets into the Devils lineup, he ain't leaving.
