With the pick up of this Cave, Gregor and Strudwick were debating the next roster move to make room for him. So who goes away to make room for him?

The guys you probably look at making a move on are:
Gravel
Manning

Rattie
Spooner
Yamo
JP

To me, the easiest is to put Yamo down. I don't think he is physically ready. That isn't a knock, he's a small guy, he's just not ready. He was hurt for a bit in Bakersfield, play a few games, got called up, got hurt in Edmonton. He's hasn't even played much in the last month so is he even in game shape?

But from my perspective, I don't give a damn about optics, I want the best players to play because I want them to win. If you decide to waive Spooner, so be it. The trade already sucked, it makes the trade look even worse and makes Chia look even dumber for making it but oh well. Play to win. Maybe someone picks him up and you lose the cap hit. If no one does, you still save some money and you can call him up later. Same goes for Manning. The trade was stupid but what's done is done. Ice the best roster you got, win some games.

I wouldn't hate seeing both Yamamoto and Puljujarvi in the AHL. The window for Puljujarvi to play there is closing, and he hasn't looked much better under Hitchcock than he did with McLellan. He really has plateaued and isn't adding a whole lot... so might be worth trying to get him some touches in Bakersfield and hope he find his game there.

Yamamoto has hardly played this year, and doesn't look NHL-ready at all.
