I think all above have a spot, which leaves room for basically one guy in regular lines, plus a spare or two (assuming a 23 man roster with 7 D and 2 G) If they carry 8D on the active roster, then you have room for 13 forwards. I thought Lappi was a lock as well, but maybe not.
Lappi, Limoges, Rybinski, Dube, Miro and Cristall all appear to be ahead of Vrana in my book, just from the little we saw in the preseason games. All these guys certainly at least appear hungrier for it than Vrana. We only get a small glimpse so who knows how they perform in practice, etc.
Miro and Cristall are both young so maybe they play Hershey another year, but both look better than Vrana to me.
Signing Vrana to a one year budget deal maybe, but I think he'd have to go to Hershey at some point which means clearing waivers..
When is the next round of cuts?

Who the fuck knows. I just spent far too long trying to find out using every variation of training camp roster cuts I could think of trying to find the cut dates and I got nothing. It shouldn’t be that difficult, but this is the bettman nhl.
Mickstix:
I saw where Coach said Cristall "took a step back" vs Boston, even though he scored? I think that's foreign for "You playin' in Hershey another year" :snicker:
Haven't heard Leonard's name? Guess he didn't come to camp? Thought maybe he'd rethink that college thing.
*Just saw Cristall is only 19 (too young for AHL), so it's either the Caps or back to the minors for another year..
