For me, with granlund out and only 3 cuts left at forward, there is really only 1 tough call.

Bennett needs to go back to the OHL and play world juniors.

Setoguchi has been horrible and he is just blocking development time for younger guys. There is no upside to keeping him at all. Will return a 3rd at best at the deadline in a perfect storm - I guess that's the only plus.

Last cut come down to Jooris, Baertschi or Byron for me. Jooris and Byron can play on any line and are older, getting a lot of minutes for them is not as important as for Sven. As painful as it will be for him, I see Sven being the last cut.
