Going to be one hell of a young team in Adirondack next season. There are going to be so many prospects under contract down there that I don't see management bringing in many (if any at all) 25+ AHL ringers to fill out the roster.
Good chance one or two of these guys make the team out of camp, and there will be call ups all throughout the year which may result in a player or two sticking permanently, but here is the main building blocks for the farm team next season, as of right now:
1. Gaudreau (20)*
2. Baertschi (21)
3. Reinhart (22)
4. Granlund (21)
5. Knight (23)
6. Ferland (22)
7. Agostino (22)*
8. Hanowski (23)
9. Arnold (22)*
10. Poirier (19)*
11. Vanbrabant (22)*
12. Wolf (24)*
13. Jooris (23)
14. Elson (21)
1. Wotherspoon (21)
2. Cundari (24)
3. Sieloff (20)*
4. Acolatse (23)
5. Kulak (20)*
6. Culkin (20)*
7. Ramage (23)
8. Roy (19)* -> NOT CURRENTLY SIGNED
1. Ortio (23)
2. Thiessen (28)
(* denotes that player would be an AHL rookie)
Have we ever iced a farm team completely made up legitimate prospects on ELC's before?
...because other than Thiessen, that's exactly what the above is......23 prospects on ELC's making up a full AHL roster with everybody healthy.
Also 9 potential AHL rookies too. Pretty crazy stuff IMO.
1. Would that team be any good?
2. Will they bring in any "Jones'", "Street's", "Kolanos'" type players on NHL two ways?
3. Will they bring in any "Arsene's", "Locke's", "Olsen's" on AHL deals?
1. Baertschi - Granlund - Reinhart
2. Gaudreau - Knight - Ferland
3. Agostino - Arnold - Poirier
4. Wolf - Jooris - Hanowski
