There is so much competition among the young guys on ELC's that no one except for Monahan is a lock IMO.
If still here:
Baertschi
Granlund
Reinhart
...should be among the last cuts, if cut at all. All have had at least a year of North American pro experience and excelled, plus a handful of NHL games where they looked promising.
Ferland if healthy could be in the mix as well.
Also, I'd expect Gaudreau and Poirier to make strong pushes despite their rookie statuses.
Then there are some serious wild card guys....Knight, Hanowski, Agostino, Arnold, Jooris....
Going to be a nasty, nasty training camp. These kids better be ready.
