How about signing some NCAA free agents or overage CHLers instead of sticking with the status quo? Believe that prospects like Pelech/Chucko have had their chance and the time has come to look at new faces who might be able to come in and show something. Granted, my source of information is limited towhat is in the Hockey News and internet websites but would be interesting if we could make some signings out of the college/overage chl ranks as the organization has a history (you do have to go a ways back) of finding prospects who became regular nhl players.
It's been eerily quiet on the off season front player personnel wise (understand on the pro level as most transactions put on hold until the cup final is over, but other teams have been very active with collegiate signings), with most announcements concerning the front office/coaching staff. Would be exciting to see some new blood come into the organization and worst come to worst, stock up the ECHL affiliate. Many of us lament the lack of quality prospects in the pipeline and it wouldn't hurt the organization to roll the dice on a couple of free agent pick ups. Some may work like Chris Breen appears to be, some may not like Bryan Cameron has shown to date (still time for him to develop though).
