It cannot be forgotten that the majority of the Heat's top players are either 1st, 2nd or 3rd year professionals, the only top players they have that aren't in their first 3 years as pros are Frattin, Vey, Aulie and Wotherspoon and with all due respect to them, they are not star players in the AHL.
