All 32 Bettman teams are scheduled to provide their 23-man rosters this Monday. So it's no surprise that there were a lot of players subject to the ballot today, including defensemen Corey Schueneman and Madison Bowey.

Another defenseman who was supposed to be drafted to Laval but was not is Otto Leskinen. The Finn stayed with the team, which suggests that he has earned a spot with the big club.

Obviously, nothing is set in stone. With the injury to Joel Edmundson, there are three veterans guaranteed a spot on the six-man roster: David Savard, Chris Wideman and Michael Matheson. That leaves three spots available for Arber Xhekaj, Kaiden Guhle, Otto Leskinen, Jordan Harris and Justin Barron.
