No, this guy.

Why not both? Can never have too much Burns.

Nah, at age 40, the fire diminishes.

Montgomery likely doesn’t play with the hurricanes. He is going to need some good improvement in skating to play the canes system.

 

[Svechhammer]

He's a long-term project. Looked decent in the preseason last year, but needs a lot of time to grow his game. I highly doubt he'll see any NHL playing time in the next 3 years, barring a rash of injuries that has us digging deep in the 2 way contract pool.

I have Bryce 15th or so on our prospect depth chart.

1) Alexander Nikishin
2) Scott Morrow
3) Dominik Badinka
4) Noel Fransen
5) Aleksi Heimosalmi
6) Charles-Alexis Legault
7) Anttoni Honka
8) Simon Forsmark
9) Timur Kol
10) Vladimir Grudinin
11) Joel Nystrom
12) Ronan Seeley

And then after that I'd still list 3 or 4 prospects who I think have a <5% chance of making the show before I'd put Bryce. He played in the ECHL last year and I think he'll do the same this year. I don't think he has the skating to make the team. Rooting for him though.

For cap purposes only, so they can max out their LTIR allowance if they decided to move Fast to LTIR.

Yep.

Pretty deep corps of defensemen with the Wolves. Does Montgomery see ice time or is he more likely headed to the ECHL?

probably split time between the two as necessary this season. the ECHL affiliate is in Bloomington this year so pretty quick trip to Chicago if needed.
