[With Boldy likely out of the lineup next game
](https://twitter.com/RussoHockey/status/1713907249188343971?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) À votre avis, à quoi pourraient ressembler les lignes ? Actuellement, le seul D qu’ils peuvent se permettre est Mermis, et les seuls F sont Letteri et Khaira, si je me souviens bien. En tenant compte notamment de la défense de samedi, que peuvent-ils faire pour former une équipe décente ? Ottawa est dans une situation où il y a suffisamment de joueurs blessés jusqu’au plafond pour pouvoir utiliser l’échappatoire du plafond « jouez en désavantage numérique pour un match, puis vous pouvez appeler un gars à faible salaire ». À quel moment les Wild regardent-ils le même bateau ?

Looks like Russo thinks we’re going 11F/7D and double shifting Kaprizov
Some people also mentioned during pre-season that guys like Boldy, Faber, and Rossi are waiver exempt, and could be assigned « in between games » to Iowa (on paper) to accrue cap space. Russo pretty much shut that down, saying it’s probably not going to be accepted by the league and the players would hate it. However, with a Boldy injury, would it be worth sending him to Iowa for a few days just to be able to pull up players to cover these injuries? Is that something Boldy would even agree to?
Addy has played wing before. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing that again
11/7 tomorrow. Mermis has a lot to gain. If he looks better than Merrill, I could see a world where Merrill is sent to Iowa and Mermis sticks around while Spurgeon is out. I liked Mermis’s game when he had a couple spot starts last year. We wouldn’t save all of Merrill’s $1.2M, but I think it would still be more than Mermis’s $775k
Gotta get Rossi a couple shifts with Kaprizov just to see, I think
Rossi this is your time to shine…
