trade/send down both Setogucci and Jones. Then Jooris, Gaudreau and Sven would and should all make it. Sven may not have beaten out Jooris for the spot thats open, but he certainly showed that aside from Johnny, he is the most NHL ready and dynamic player we have until Bennett is ready.
Given what he went through and how he adjusted, overcame and then showed up to play in camp this year, I would be disspointed if he didnt make the team and one of Jones or Setogucci or Bollig made it just because of contract status. If you are going to promise the players that performance determines where you play, then make it hold true for every member of the team.
