Lambert just got sent down to the Moose. I guess "released" to the Moose instead of "assigned" to the Moose was used because he hasn't signed an ELC yet. Glad it wasn't the WHL.

Thread: Opening night
<strong>Forwards</strong>: I have the same names but I'd flip Maenalanen and Toninato, as Bowness has been running a 4th line of Maenalanen-Gustafsson-Gagner for about a week now in practice (according to Scott Billeck). I agree that Toninato has had a better camp than Harkins and beats him out for a starting role. Barron would be nice, but missing so much camp and being waivers exempt means that the Moose is his likely landing spot for now (like you have him).

<strong>Defense</strong>: I agree that the choice is between Heinola (better player) and Samberg (better roster fit), with the loser going to the Moose which is what you have.

<strong>Scratches</strong>: Stanley, Kovacevic, Harkins

<strong>Cuts - waivers exempt</strong>: Lambert, Barron, Heinola or Samberg
<strong>Cuts - waivers</strong>:Capobianco, Berdin

Thread: waiver zone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Do wonder which one or two of Kovacevic, Stanley, Heinola and Samberg will get demoted.

If we were just basing the #6/7 dman spot on the preseason games the argument could be made Capobianco should make the team, he looked pretty good out there.

Do you know how many dmen the Moose have on an AHL contract?

Where is Salmonsson playing this year?</div></div>

Unless there is a trade to move a LHD, I think Chevy sends one of Heinola or Samberg will be sent to the Moose to start the season to minimize waivers exposure of others and then one of Kovacevic/Capobianco. That said, the kids both deserve to be on the NHL roster based on play.

The Moose have 12 defensemen on their training camp roster, with 3 of them on PTOs.

I don't see Salmonsson on the Moose training camp roster (<a href="https://moosehockey.com/training-camp-roster-2022/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Moose Roster</a>). Scott Billeck wrote that Salomonsson signed a contract to play in Sweden for the coming season (he didn't go to the young stars camp either). I guess his ELC had a European Assignment clause.
