I don't see how they will attract UFA's these are the main reasons a UFA make their decisions as far as I can figure.
And our depth in the AHL is grim even with these 1st round picks I don't want them rushing these kids they draft in 2013 but then again i don't want our record of not developing prospects taint the talent either.
