I hope Sutter has one more year in him- isn't he close to some AHL records (or did he pass them already)? His injury took a long time, and he was slower afterwards.
I missed Gallant for a chunk of the season last year. Was he hurt? Was he in the pressbox when all the kids started coming in?
The loss of McLain will hurt team toughness IMO. Who fills the void? I know Gallant will drop 'em but he isn't a big guy.
Wranglers are kinda low on right-shot forwards, especially if Coronato plays in the NHL. As of right now they only have Frk and Janicke, unless I'm missing someone.
Edit: Forgot Klapka and Schwindt, although I fully expect one of those two to play with the Flames, honestly.

It looks like he's 27 games away from being the "modern" (since 1972) AHL games played leader. He'd need to play at least 2 more seasons to be the all-time leader.
The loss of Mclain will be felt but now we have a chance to see a new #### disturber, hopefully they will be smarter and disturb without the penalties.
I hope Sutter plays and gets the modern record at the very least but his performance was not great last season and did not seem to add much to the team.

Klapka is gonna spend some time with the big club IMO, Schwindt's ceiling at this point seems to be bottom-six PK potential, I imagine he's maybe got a cup of joe left in his NHL career.
