Description
- Today on the Mark Madden show, Dubas said he expects Gruden, St. Ivany, Poulin, Ponomarev, Koivunen, Blomqvist, Yager and Pickering to be ready to battle for spots on the roster this upcoming season.

- Assuming all the people he named make the roster, it would look like this below.

- I just moved all the older guys that we would have to trade to LTIR, just to show the cap space we would have to fill a 1LW and 1LD spot.

- Would also potentially have to fill 2C and 3LD spots if Yager and Pickering aren't quite ready yet. (26.7 million in cap space, if Yager and Pickering aren't ready yet).

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS PURELY HYPOTHETICAL AND THE CHANCE THEY ALL MAKE THE ROSTER IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY, KEEP THAT IN MIND, THIS IS JUST SHOWING WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY MAKE THE ROSTER OUT OF TRAINING CAMP.

What a dumpster fire Dubas walked himself into.

Curious if that means he may let SJ have this years first even if it's in the 7-10 range.

This is the approach that SJ had when Pavelski, Braun, Nyqvist, Donskoi, etc left in 2019-2020, of "letting the youth fill out spots in the lineup" and that resulted in Ottawa getting Stutzle at 3rd overall with the Sharks unprotected first

That could very well be the case, yeah.

Maybe Dubas should be another guy fighting for a job.

I definitely think Dubas needs to just focus on PoHO things and hire a GM and he can work with that GM on roster building. I would LOVE Jason Botterill, the AGM from the Seattle Kraken.
