Kylington to Stockton. Somewhat of a surprise.

He could still go back to junior. Probably want to see him down there for a bit to see how it goes.

I was sure that Andersson was going to get a shot at the big club with Brodie out. He's played so well.

He has played really well, but he just doesn't have enough quickness in that first step yet.

A year getting bigger, stronger, faster and better, and he will have a legitimate shot next eyar

[PugnaciousIntern]

First set of real cuts. None of them were expected to be on the opening day roster, but it wasn't absurd to think that out of a few of them, maybe one could have pulled a Jooris

[Finger Cookin]

32 players counting Smid, Brodie, and Nakladal who are beat up. Assuming none of them are healthy for October 7, 6 more cuts are needed.

[GranteedEV]

Kenney Morrison the most surprising cut. Was thinking he'd be in the last set of cuts. Kulak, Wilson, Nakladal, and Wotherspoon survive to the next round.

[Funkhouser]

I think Arnold was the biggest surprise
Was our best forward in Penticton, got injured...never really got a shot

Only one of Kulak, Wotherspoon, and Wilson will get cut unless the blueline gets healthy. If three goalies stay, there are 6 forwards to go. Granlund and Hathaway are easy cuts. But the rest have to come from the group of Shore, Bollig, Raymond, and Byron. All of them go unless a goalie gets waived/moved, or another healthy D allows another of the three bubble D to go down.

Time to earn your money, Mr. Treliving.

[Enoch Root]

Kylington shouldn't be in there

[Lanny'sDaMan]

Sieloff should still be at camp. He's been solidly impressive. He certainly looked great last night against the Canucks main roster.

[Enoch Root]

so 2 spots to be earned between:

Nakladal
Wilson
Wotherspoon
Kulak

[TorqueDog]

Normally we'd see the remaining players and someone would say "Right, move out Raymond and Jones, make room for the younger guys."

But after playing NHL '16, I'd be afraid that trading Mason Raymond away will make Joe Colborne sad or something. *mutters* Stupid morale system.

[Enoch Root]

and 4 more forwards have to move (assuming no injuries)

He missed a lot of hockey in the last few years and wouldn't be served well by sitting in the press box.

Playing big minutes is best for him right now.

[Flash Walken]

Surprised Kylington was sent down so soon. Expected him to have an outside shot to stick with the team through the start of the season with the injury to Brodie.

Any of Kulak, Culkin (if healthy), Nakladal (if healthy), Wotherspoon, or Sieloff would be in Calgary before Kylington.
