Seems weird that he doesn't seem room for himself on the big club though, as I only really see 11 forwards that I think are guaranteed to start the year with the big club.

Huberdeau, Kadri, Kuzmenko, Coleman, Backlund, Mantha, Sharangovich, Pospisil, Zary, Rooney, Lomberg. That's 11.

Then I would expect Pelletier to be 12, Duehr to be on waivers, and then Coronato/Klapka/Stromgren as guys that all are waivers exempt that could be in the AHL or NHL depending how camp goes.

risking Pelletier on waivers, no matter how big or small the risk, would be Treliving-level stupid
