I'm hoping with the signing of Robinson, Rinaldo and Froese, that there is a plan to have two of them as mentors/callups in the AHL and the third as a popcorn muncher.
There is an aversion among the fanbase to think of some of the prospects as failed/unworthy if they are not absolute barnburners, but I think that it would be a mistake to bury Gawdin and Phillips.
The three vets are there for insurance, but I want to be pleasantly surprised by the play of the fourth line this year, and not dreading every time they are on the ice.
