Sure maybe they aren't good enough to make the NHL but for all of them to bust at the AHL kind of stinks as these guys all produced pretty big in junior and one would have to expect at least one or two of them to at least become AHL regulars. Something not right going on down there.

I don't like it either, and find myself also wondering what the deal is down there.
It's one of three things IMO
1) that group of prospects you listed are really bad
2) they are being stifled out of existence
3) a little of both
Like I said, if Wahl catches fire after a change of scenery, I'm seriously going to start questioning Ward as a developmental coach.
