Good question. Sharks re-assigned 8 more players today -- Mueller was NOT one of them -- so his chances got a little better. The ones who didn't make it were the two goalies (obvious), and the following: Tennyson, DeMelo, Hamilton, Tarasov, Oleksuk, and Karlsson.
That leaves the remaining players battling for 2 or 3 spots on the final roster:
McGinn
Goodrow
Goldobin
Tierney
Hayes
Mueller
Doherty
Fedun
Bergman
Between the offensive guys, I have no idea who they will keep, but would ecstatic for any of them. On offense, if we want bottom line scoring, we should go with Tierney or Goldobin. On defense, the most balanced players are Fedun and Mueller. I do not think we will know who makes the team until we see their pre-season performances against LA tomorrow. If Mueller plays well in that game, I think he makes the team.
