Mattt Moulson was brought in to help the BST, FWIW.
Yes he was! At this point I wish we can trade Ladd to Buffalo for Moulson, then he can make his long awaited BST debut.
Going into next season the forward group can possibly/likely be:
Bernier
Koivula
Eansor
Dal Colle
Bellows
Stevens
Fritz?
And they should bring back:
St Denis
Ben Holmstrom (good leader, PK'er, who has a crazy games played streak)
Bailey (should get a NHL deal)
They need another AHL vet with more offensive ability to replace Gionta.
For AHL/ECHL depth they will likely sign Ryan Hitchcock to an AHL deal.
Defense:
Vande Sompel
Wotherspoon
Aho
Quenneville (hopefully )
Burroughs (improved every year, good team guy and great with the local community )
Ryan MacKinnon is signed to AHL deal and impressed with Worcester. They also signed Tyler Mueller of Umass Lowell to an ATO by all accounts has looked pretty good and could be back and forth from Bridgeport and Worcester .
Goaltending:
Soderstrom
McAdam
Going into next season looks OK, just need a couple of quality vets signed.
