Yeah so what does this mean for their 23 man roster? They have to submit by 5pm, so either they carry 3 goalies, or they assign the other dude (not Fleury) to their AHL team and keep Subban as the backup?? Seems risky considering Subban hasn't exactly broken through yet. I guess Vegas can roll the dice, they're an expansion team after all and nobody expects anything from them anyway.

Well the other dude, Calvin Pickard, would need to go on waivers before being assigned to the AHL and that hasn't happened. So barring a trade their opening roster is going to have to include 3 goalies.
The other interesting thing is that Vegas STILL has 11 defencemen on their roster, and only one of them is exempt from waivers. So even if they send that one defenceman down (Shea Theodore, who is arguably one of their better defence options), they'll have 10 defencemen on the team plus 3 goalies. That leaves room for... 10 forwards on their opening 23 man roster.

In order to have made the roster moves today they would have had to place players on waivers yesterday. They put one of their forwards, Teemu Pulkkinen, on waivers and he cleared. But nobody else and nobody today.
So again barring a trade, they're basically stuck with at least 10 defencemen on their opening roster.
Zee said:
Yeah. Their first regular season game isn't until Friday, and with the shooting in Vegas I did wonder if the league might give them a bit of an extension to submit their roster. That's kind of the only thing I can think of at this point.
Zee said:
Also definitely possible yeah. But he's only got a few more hours to work the phones there.

Shipachyov is cut but not really. He will play opening day.
Theodore maybe the same
The Knights roster is still in flux.
Currently stands at 11 forwards
9 defensemen
3 goalies
