So who is NOT going to be on the roster next year

[CallawaySabres]

I don't think someone like Leino should be on the team just because of this cap floor garbage. It is just pathetic that he is even finishing THIS season here. I don't know how he did it but Stafford will not be on this list for me. Am I actually starting to like him on this team (good Lord, how did he do it to me again)!

 

Off The Team or back to Rochester:

Leino

McBain

Tallinder

Sulzer

Ruhwedal

Ellis

John Scott (I love him though)

Konopka

 

I guess the question is how many players are ready to come up next year.....

[LastPommerFan]

I agree Leino has to be bought out. It's the last chance to do it without a cap hit, and you can't leave his $4.5M on the payroll for 3 years, just to hit the floor next year.

 

I think Tallinder gets another year or 2.

 

McBain is an RFA. He comes back.

[Hoss]

Everybody you listed has a chance to be gone. A few could definitely be back, though. We'll see.

 

As far as ready for a call up? Risto, Zadorov, Grigorenko, Armia, McCabe and Pysyk could all have a shot at being here. I'd bet most of those names aren't here, though. Maybe our first pick if it's Reinhart.

Off The Team or back to Rochester:

Leino - Amnesty Buyout

McBain - RFA, shouldn't cost much

Tallinder - Possible low buy retain.

Sulzer - At this point, he'll be off the team

Ruhwedal - AHL

Ellis - AHL.

John Scott (I love him though): Bye

Konopka - I would like him retained. He's a good forward for what he does.

I'd be shocked, shocked I say, if Pysyk wasn't up with the big club next year. He's already an NHL top-4 D in my opinion.

I just got the call from Tim Murray, unfortunately I will not be on the roster next year.
