As a Heat fan I wouldn't be worried. It's all just a natural part of players coming and going in the minors. Taylor and Walter looked like they probably weren't NHL material and they went to make money elsewhere. Feaster has gone out and gotten AHL vets in his tenure here and I'm sure he will again even if he leaves more room for prospects this year. There's room for both prospects and AHL vets, it's all about finding the right balance for your organization. Even if they're not the cream of the crop some decent help for the Heat can still be found around training camp and during the season, so that allows a bit of flexibility to add even more veterans later on if needed.
