Yep, Holtz will be in the top 9 and Foote/Nosek will battle/rotate in that 4LW spot(assuming McLeod is safe. If not, then Nosek takes over 4C and Foote takes 4LW), and Tierny will be in Utica. They'll carry 14 forwards, 7 D.

As for Nemec, the Miller trade pretty much sealed his fate(atleast for the start of the season). I think he'll need to be completely lights out in camp and preseason for them to keep him. So unless he forces the team to keep him, he'll be back down in Utica. Playing top pair minutes as well as finally being able to run PP1 now that Walsh is gone. I think Nemec will get a few games at some point this year to get his feet wet but outside of need due to injury, I think he'll spend most of the year in the AHL. His contract is a slide candidate, and I feel like they'd prefer to not force him into the lineup and burn a year if it's not necessary.

I think with Nemec he will either be playing full time in either the NHL or AHL depending on camp and start of the season

If he shows he is ready he will be playing in the NHL and who his partner will be

Hughes will be with Marino or siegenthaler to try to balance the pair out, I know Hamilton was with siegebthaler and he will be with someone who is good at covering

Maybe nemec plays 3rd pair with Miller or Bahl

So not thrown into the deepend as he is still very young and new-ish to NHL size rink

You can always tell when someone talking about the team has absolutely no idea what they're talking about lol. Their list is brutal after the top 4. Stillman and Bardakov in our top 10? No mention of Holtz or Foote? Stillman above Clarke and Hameenaho? No goalies? Yikes. This was talked about in Todd's discord last week, its absolutely laughable that they mention Stillman as if he's a good prospect.

You can always tell how poop a prospect is when the only hype about them is their bloodline. Lmfao.
