I think the offense in Bakersfield is better than you think it is, it is more of offense by committee group then a group reliant on high pedigree prospects, but it should be able to get the job done. The murmurs in Edmonton at the moment are making it sound like its highly likely Versteeg will be signed by us and we have 2 injured forwards at the moment, while I don't expect a fully healthy roster at any point it's reasonable to think atleast one more forward from the NHL roster will be sent down. Then I think Kyle Platzer is actually ready to take a top 6 role if afforded the opportunity, it may seem like a big jump for a player who seen some healthy scratches last year, but he looks to be ready for it and Joey Benik isn't highly thought of, but I suspect he will be somewhere in between Andrew Miller and Marc Arcobello in terms of impact as a 1st year AHL player.
If Lander gets his offensive confidence back down there he is a completely dominant player at the AHL level, he was over a point per game in his last 2 AHL stints and plays a 200 ft game and can be counted on in all situations.
