I don't see any reason to think the Avs were projecting/expecting guys like Foudy, OO, or Steinberg, into NHL roles.
That defies logic, because they've never really shown they were NHLers before. That quote from Bednar is just him being honest, not an indicator of the organization's plans.
They've likely appraoched this the same as they have in the past. Give a look at prospects and PTO's in camp, and then go the waiver/UFA/trade route to begin the season, or shortly into it, when decent players can be had.
These aren't big roles the prospects would have taken. They're just waiting for Landy, Lehky, and Val to come back, and when they do, they'll have plenty of forward depth. There likely wouldn't be a spot for those other guys anyway.
