I do agree, however, that Peluso might make it as an extra forward, being brought in to keep an eye on Lucic for 4 games this season and eating popcorn for the rest. I don't think I would bring him into the lineup in the case of an injury, unless it was impossible to get anyone else up in time.

There's one starting forward position. There are probably three positions available if you count extra forwards. I think Hathaway is far more suited for the latter, and maybe Lazar as well. So between Mangiapane, Dube and Foo, I think Dube has the inside track as far as play is concerned. Mangiapane has an edge in age and pro experience. Foo shoots right and outproduced Mangiapane in their respective short NHL stints.
