Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Best case scenario for the team and Guentzel is that he only needs to go on IR. Rakell is probably the most capable of playing his off wing, so I would hope Sullivan does not hesitate to keep him with Crosby. Puustinen is my dark horse/surprise performer in camp and I think this is a great opportunity for him. Zohorna gets the nod at 4C since I think Poulin will not be quite ready yet.

Obviously, this not taking into account what Dubas could do the rest of the summer trade wise. Granlund is bought out this weekend, DeSmith is claimed off waivers at the end of training camp.

O'Connor deserves to be given a shot to move up. He has shown promise with more skilled players

I doubt DeSmith or Ned get waived. Dubas is going to keep 3 goalies in case Jarry gets hurt.
