So this is the easiest roster to accommodate DW's Hammer of an offersheet (see what I did there?). Basically, we could put Huskins through waivers, and when no team claims him: as I am sure would happen, we send him to the AHL (let's face it: he has only been up for, like, three full seasons). And I don't think how I punctuated that sentence is legit at all.

To boyle it down:

• Boyle w/ a mobile shotdown Dman
• Vlasic w/ Blake's cheaper, funnier, if not slightly less expensive/effective replacement (2.5!!!!)
• Crankshaft w/ a new offensive Dman (Demers) to learn (this means a whole lot more minutes for this D pairing)

The question is: Do you think DW will roll with this until the trade deadline?
