Baertschi-Walter-Street
Kolanos-Reinhart-Horak
Bancks-Wahl-Eddy
Laing-Bouma-Aliu
Sylvester
Breen-Brodie
Piskula-Lamb
McCarthy-McKelvie
Tuzzolino-Callahan
Irving
Brust
Injured
Nemisz, Byron, Ferland
ECHL/Loan/Trade
Howse, Estoclet, Patterson, Martin, Taylor, Cameron
Cut
Nunn, Kremyr, Merth, Urban, Olsen, Mouillierat, Ruegsegger, Fritsch, Cowan, Isherwood, Rollheiser, Evin
My guess is Taylor and Howse stay down until the lockout is done. Taylor due to space. Howse to get his act in gear and give him some play time at a level where hopefully he can have success.

I don't consider myself much of an armchair prognosticator for the Heat but this looks reasonable at this point in time. I don't think your take can be wrong because at this point in time all that anyone can give is their best estimate. Based on what Troy Ward said today's intersquad game could weigh heavily into cuts and there will be more cuts further down the road based on what happens on the ice in later sessions. Also, nobody knows where the injury inventory will stand when the season opens.
One guy that stuck out as different than PMM's reports was this:

Even if he doesn't quite make the team it sounds like they might like to keep him in the ECHL for when the lockout over.
