Last cuts are coming, and my guess at the opening night roster:

[UPDATE: final cuts announced and I was right except for the Bernier/3-goalie plan]

Smyth/Kopitar/Williams

Purcell/Stoll/Brown

Frolov/Handzus/Simmonds

Ivanans/Lewis/Harrold

(Clune [IR], Richardson)

Martinez/Doughty

Johnson/Scuderi

Drewiske/Greene

(SOD/susp.)

Quick

Ersberg

Bernier

That's my guess. Hickey will get sent down; no loss of face there. DL will keep three goalies up and give Bernier a game or two. If he does the job, Ersberg gets waived. Probably that's all too whacky and they'll just send Bernier down. But I think the 3 goalie plan is possible in the short-term. Westgarth will get sent down; Ivanans will live to fight another day. Richardson will get waived when Clune returns.

And there's still a chance DL brings in one more old veteran D between now and the beginning of the year.
