Still not, Ben Harpur will be up

and $78K isn't enough in case of injuries/callups
have to have extras for same reason

Put Hyman and Dermott on LTIR and you can have 3 scratches, do that and then send down who you need to when they come back

I agree but that is where Mikheyev and Holl or Schmaltz and them being wavier exempt come into play, I gives them more room once Dermott and Hyman come back and take a spot in the lineup. And for Harpur this would still work but would be way closer to the cap ceiling.

Just Mikheyev, not both

Holl won't make the team and their is a chance that Hyman might be ready for season opener.

Marner’s camp wants 3x10, no way he takes 6x10

sometimes NHL teams go on the road. Sometimes AHL teams go on the road.

There's a need for scratches.

Yes... because marner is the only party involved in the negotiations. Pretty much just walks into Mlse drafts his own contract and writes his own cheques right?

You are aware the title is Starting roster correct..... Good thing you know how to read

nice. so they can keep that roster for 7 days! Phew! well done.
