If it's a D, there are 3 spots and the worst players out of the following group will go on waivers: Bean, Pachal, Miromanov, Hanley, Poirier, Kuznetsov and Solovyov.
It's a bit more complicated at forward. With Pospisil, Klapka, Lomberg, Kirkland, Morton, and Kerins fighting for the bottom 4 spots. Here likely a trade is needed if a young steals a spot, or we'd be losing a decent forward on waivers.
The other option is to go the Coronato/Zary route. Send the player down despite a great camp, and call him up after 2-10 games. Players get injured, or get to a bad start, so there will be an opening rather quickly.
