I don't see a lot of room there for high level AHL vets.
I know there will be injuries, but with what's listed above right now a guy like Agostino is on the 4th line for hecks sake. Sign too many AHL vets and some of the prospects will suffer from it more than they'll benefit from it IMO.
Maybe this is a big reason why they hired a coach who has excelled with young players, and who also likes to roll his entire bench out there throughout the game.
