It sounds like defenseman Roman Josi will start the season in Milwaukee. Josi did not skate with the team again as he nursed his “upper body” injury. But a move to Milwaukee would most likely only be temporary. “In the past we’ve had players gotten injured like Roman has, and gone down, got their game going and they were fine,” Trotz said.
Josi was expected to challenge for a roster spot this preseason but could start the year in the AHL. Ryan Ellis and Mattias Ekholm certainly have a leg-up on him as long as he remains on the shelf.
