All of the AHL only guys thus far.

Where will Kulich fit in the lineup?

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich, like Rosen, should not be in the AHL next year.

Kulich, like Rosen, should not be in the AHL next year.

Because he’s playing in Buffalo just like he said!

Wow, that's an adventure.

Taiwan is a much better place for hockey fundamentally. Because they know that a tai is worth wan.

I find it interesting that Rochester is spending about $3.8M on high end AHL'ers not on their ELC (assuming Prow and Mersch make $300K).

I was thinking that signing five defensemen and two goalies each over $300K is somewhat unique. I acknowledge that this is necessitated by lack of depth at these positions. But they specifically decided to sign expensive vets rather than cheaper options.

I'm not going to do a study of other teams, but I did pick a random team (one who has had an interal budget in the past). Nashville. They signed three UFA defensmen to such deals. Each was two year deals. I noticed other teams signing depth players for over $400K. So certainy we are not unique in paying for depth players/defensemen.

Anyone have thoughts on line combos?

 

[Tsyolin]

All of these players (minus Savoie) are headed to Rochester, gonna be a fun group to keep track of this year. Good for Kozak earning a spot on the Amerks too. I would have been okay with him tearing up the WHL again, but it was clear that he was ready for the next step.

Malone and Mersch are the returning vet scorers and worked well together and apart at times last season. Mersch would give some of the smaller guys some mass on a line and of course Malone is pretty gritty. Weissbach seems like he'll get top 6 time, probably Rousek as well. How they work the kids in and can they come up with a way to not be just pushed all over the ice by bigger teams is going to be interesting too.

Good points. With Kozak, Kulich and Rosen joining the regulars, they'll need some help with hack teams.

While I was wondering what they might do for the Utica's of the world, I see they have Allen and Atwal at camp. Tischke is game but they are pretty light in the physicality department. They will need someone like Murray to step into that role, though he may not have the temperament for it.
