Man this team is LOADED with young talent. Great problem to have. Only two games in but seems to me Lappy and Milano have to make the squad, so that pretty much means most everyone else does not. I feel bad for the guys who have played really well, but ultimately will not make the Caps roster. Total of 23 roster spots available (if they can stay under salary cap)
Caps website roster (which means nothing) has 23 players listed currently including Frank, Leonard, Sourdif, and Milano
(thats 13 skaters, 8 D, 2 goalies)
I expect Milano will make the roster based on his play so far.
That leaves 2 spots for all these guys (assuming Leonard and Sourdif have to Earn a spot)
Lappy
Leonard
Sourdif
Cristal
Miro
Iorio (D) I'd like to see him make the team but I don't see how there is room
Chisolm (D)
I don't recall what the waivers rules are or exactly what status all these guys are. I know Lappy is no longer exempt so he is free pickins if Caps have to move him down to AHL.
I'm afraid we will lose Iorio to waiver if they send him down - but not sure his status. I'd like to see him replace TVR or Carlson when their contracts expire this year - or sooner (rather than signing them to a ridiculous extension for even a year or two)
TVR constantly surprises me with his effectiveness...he just looks like he's totally suspect to be beat like a drum but his stats show otherwise, but its a matter of time...another 1/2 step and he's toast.
Anyway, no wonder Hershey has such success, they are loaded with guys on the cusp of NHL status
