It only SEEMS that most of them are standing still

Need to use time lapse photography to see their actual motion

Akeson figured out how to make a Berube team!

Stupid (frank)ing penalties

I wonder what good Akeson would do on our fourth line. I think I'd go...

Rinaldo is terrible on the PK. All he does is play chase the puck.

Jones has had a good showing in camp, but Jon Sim did it every year. My bottom six would be, and I've said it for awhile:

Raffl-Lecavalier-Akeson
Umberger-Laughton-Bellemare

I really don't think he's making this team:

Schenn-G-Jake
Read-Coots-Simmonds
RJ-VLC-Raffl
Jones-PEB-Rinaldo
Rosehill

At this point, I think Laughton has a better shot than Akeson and Leier has outplayed them both

edit: If they are carrying 14, Akeson likely makes it as a spare who can step in if a skill player gets hurt

I think he makes the team, at least initially, and is given an extended look during the season.
The difference is that Laughton can move up and down from the Phantoms freely.

And let's keep in mind that the roster they announce coming out of camp, may not necessarily be the same one that is in place opening day.

Who would your top six be, because someone is missing.

Jon Sim had excellent offensive numbers in preseason. Jones has been good in all three zones.

Schenn-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds

I'd keep either Rosehill or Rinaldo as the 13th guy.

Jones has been very solid. Prefer Laughton.

Did you watch that PK though? You can't just chase the puck your entire shift. They were passing around him left and right.

Your roster is missing Umberger.

Edit

You have Umberger on the fouth line. I can't believe it.

NHL confirms, Tkachev is draft eligible in 2015. Makes him ineligible to sign a Standard Player Contract. Obscure rule, obviously.
