I think Saad is gone and Caggs might too. Too many players will be ready to step up like Barratt, Kurashev, Sikura, Perlini (if they don't let him walk or trade him), Saarella, Entwhistle, Hagel, etc. Tonight in the preseason game, Sikura and Nylander stood out up front as well as Wedin. Perlini was lost like usual.
On defense, Mitchell and beaudin both have a very good shot at making the team and IMO Maatta or De Haan is likely gone. Boqvist needs to learn defense, right now he looks like a forward and that includes observations not only last season in the juniors, the worlds, prospect camp but in his first preseason game.
