I think Mikkelson stays in the NHL or perhaps is lost on waivers if he can't make our lineup so I didn't include him. There's a chance he could make it through waivers I suppose. Bouma, Byron, Nemisz, and/or Brodie (maybe even Breen) may make the big club. Does Matt Keith have another year on his AHL deal or is he UFA too?

Matt Keith was only on an ATO which has expired now.
I don't know if those are your intended lines, but I just can't see the head coach splitting up Horak and Howse after the last couple of years they've had together.
This is my dilemma as well. Abbotsford looks so deep at the center position (Wahl, Horak, Bouma, and Byron). Nemisz can also play center and is damn good at it too. Bouma played first and second lines last season. Byron seems like the best player for the first line considering his points totals from last season. Yet, Horak and Howse has awesome chemistry and could be a great first line. Not to mention Wahl who I don't believe has been able to prove himself as the skilled playmaker we all know he is.
Any way the new head coach forms these lines, someone is not going to be getting the ice time they deserve.
