I think Kirkland needs to play against some inferior competition. Have no issue throwing him to the Wranglers for a bit while guys like Kerins and Morton deserve a spot on the roster. Kerins needs a decent 10-15 game sample size to see if he can still hang around. IIRC he didn't seem too out of place with his brief stint last year with limited ice time.
As of right now:
Huberdeau - Kadri - Coronato
Zary - Frost - Sharangovich
Coleman - Backlund - Farabee
Lomberg - Pospisil - Klapka
Are the top 12 that are going to be on the team. It's a matter of finding who can fight for the reserve spots and continue to fight their way onto the roster.
