I'm interested in what this means for Lake Erie. They currently have 8 defensemen on the team. Elliott, Beaupre, Siemens, Stollery, and Lauridsen have played all 3 games so they are likely safe. Tam has played 2 games and Moffie one. Maggio has yet to play, but was the enforcer last year and played well in that role. So do they send Moffie and Tam down to Denver to get some games, or keep everybody up and just have 3 defensemen sit out every night?
Though looking at the lineup, Lake Erie could have a very soild AHL defense with Hunwick.
Hunwick-Elliott (taking Stollery's spot from the last game I saw)
Siemens-Stollery
Lauridsen-Beaupre
