When Brandon Manning signed a 2-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, it tied up the last remaining unsigned player for the team. Now the players are signed and sealed, the field of roster competitors is set, and the salary cap picture comes into some focus.
While there is always some wiggle room as to who will make the team as spots will be won and lost in training camp, it is very likely we can now identify the candidates for spots. In all likelihood, there are 14 forward candidates, and 8 defense candidates. The picture in goal is set with Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth barring an unforeseen circumstance.
