We traded our 2016 3rd rounder for Pedan. Which we ended up getting back from Pittsburgh in the Sutter trade. I'd hate to see them not give Pedan a fair shake next year as he would have to clear waivers if he doesn't stick on the big club. Stecher might be starting in Utica due to his 2 way contract. Benning has got to clear space out right now guys on one ways that have to make the squad or clear for next year Edler, Tanev, Hutton, Sbisa, Tryamkin, Pedan, Tryamkin, Larsen and Biega. Biega is the only clear decision in my mind because we know what he is a good 6 or 7 dman but everybody else could still prove to be better than that and could potentially be picked off waivers. That still leaves us with 8 dmen next year without the possibility of Stecher making the team.
