No room Baertschi, Gaudreau, Bennett, Poirer, Klimchuck or Granlund. Why? Because Trevy and Burke thought wash-ups like Setoguchi have shown experience in the NHL and therefore must be better hockey players. They're going to develop career AHLers with their prospects of they don't allow. them to adapt to the NHL.

And lets not forget a boat load of other guys they picked up in the last 6 months. Im not sure about the career AHL part but Im hoping that by Xmas 3 or 4 guys will be either traded or dropped to make room for up and comers.
Jones? GONE right from camp Please!... Hudler? probably traded for picks... Stajan? I like him but Im betting he goes back home for personal reasons Seto? will have to shine pretty bright to stick. Bouma? Easily replaced. Byron? Another guy who will have to step it up even more.
