I'd expect all those players to make strong pushes, as well as Brodie who has already graduated to full time NHL duties.
Real long shots:
Aliu (22)
Howse (21)
Martin (21)
Leach (20)

I'd have to agree with this list. I can't really see any other Heat player pushing for a spot next season. The only one I think you missed that should be added is Clay Wilson, like Freeway said. Haven't got a chance to watch Connelly yet (you Calgary people will get the first chance to check him out at the Dome on Thursday), but he sounds very much like another Wilson type.
I have to say though, Martin was a great signing by Feaster. He's everything that Darryl wanted Pelech to be, but with better hockey sense and far superior skating. He's going to be a long-term project for the Flames, but is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
