Very interesting to see what happens with the extra 2 d men. I would think for now they will likely want to go with 14 forwards and 7 D. Don't want to lose Ruzicka to waivers or Zohorna and darryl loves Lewis and Ritchie. You could put Ritchie on waivers but I don't think they will. Its down to a battle between,Meloche,Mackey,Valimaki and Stone. I think it is more of a battle between 3 guys as Stone will likely be at least the number 7 D. He could even start the year on the 3rd pair. It will be interesting to see how the pairings look opening night.
