They don't have amazing talent, a sorta balanced AHL lineup but nothing that screams Calder Cup.

Ya, the line up is pretty balanced but its missing AHL superstars forwards. We paid a lot for AHL grinders like smallman and avg top sixer like Kero. Holland is probably closest to be a PPG AHLer.

Yeah AHL wise, the Eagles roster is rather meh to bad. Typically you need 2-3 high end AHL players to have a contending AHL team... I'm not sure the Eagles have a single one of those. Maybe Holland is (hard to say after his time away), maybe one of Foudy/OO takes a huge step.. but that's about it. I expect a team that barely makes the playoffs, and even that could be interrupted by goaltending if they have to roll with Holm/Miner as their tandem.

Isn't Meyers a legit 1C for the AHL? Or is he shit there too? I watch zero AHL games so I have no idea.

Also is Foudy back from injury?

I didn't watch the games, but I am not too worried. Grand Rapids has definitely more game-breaking talent when looking over that roster, but a lot of that came by sucking. It seems Eagles goaltending let them down instead of being a bad AHL club. I agree with others that there is a lack of talent on this roster, but I believe this team can be the AHL version of the Seattle Kraken (middle of the pack). The Eagles' defensive core should be top 3 in the division, while the forward group is more below-average in the division. Some underrated offensive talent, but there are a lot of two-way grinders for sure. That team won't go anywhere without Annunen though.

He's a 1C level guy, but not an AHL star sort of guy there. He's not a Matthew Phillips, Andrew Poturalski, or TJ Tynan level of player.

Foudy is not back yet.

Thanks.

What was Foudy's injury anyway? I feel like he's been out for a long time. He was out at the end of last year too if I'm not mistaken.

I liked him in his brief stint with the Avs. I feel like he could add something to our bottom six down the road along with Kovalenko.

So, is the goal is to have Annunen play a lot for the Eagles and then call him up when Georgiev needs a night off? Or are they going to Prosvetov as their #2 and backup?
