No great surprise. There has been massive roster turnover, they lost several high level players (Turcotte, Thomas, Clarke + others) and the remaining guys are changing to a new system.
Realistically, Helenius is the only skater on the roster that I would rate as likely to be a full-time NHLer. There are a couple maybes and a couple long shots, but it's the kind of AHL roster you associate with a longterm contender, not an also-ran.

No great surprise. There has been massive roster turnover, they lost several high level players (Turcotte, Thomas, Clarke + others) and the remaining guys are changing to a new system.

And they got (and had) several AHL-veterans, who had scored pretty well earlier.

This year:

Fagemo 0+0, -5
Hudon, 0+0, -6
Malott, 0+1, -6
Gawdin,, 0+1, -5
Studnicka 0+2, -3

This year's team is offensively talented enough to be a contender in the AHL, but coaching and goaltending is below average and defence is so and so. Reilly Walsh is not a good pp-quarterback, nor is Joe Hicketts.
