I think he will invite one more Dman (Gudas/Barberio) and up to 4 forwards (Connolly, Killorn, Johnson, Panik, in this order)

Plz stop pucks
Legally, Aulies contract expires the moment ratification of the CBA occurs. Thats why they had to pull him a bit early - had an idea of exactly when it would happen, but its better to play it safe.

Syracuse is getting gutted on the top two lines for at least 3-4 days, but expect 90% of them to be returned.

I see us keeping one, maybe two at most of their top-6 guys.
I think they'll go the same route with Johnson as they did with Conacher last season: Despite (looking good in camp and) having a breakout season they'll let him enjoy it and learn from it as much as possible by keeping him in the AHL.
In case they think we need a little competition among our top-6 I could see Connolly returning (he knows the system and has had a great year so far) or Conacher (who fits Boucher's critera of the always buzzing and pressing hockey player; he has also kinda earned it last season but he hasn't quite found his groove yet).
I think many of us would love to see Killorn work his way in the lineup somehow, maybe centering our 3rd line but management might play it safe with him, too. Which brings us to Wilson, Tyrell, Wyman (and Angelidis). All of them have played for the Lightning or an NHL team already and should have a good chance of cracking our bottom-6 or at least our extended NHL roster.

Unless they want to keep all of them up until Friday night none of them should miss a game in Syracuse.

There's going to be a pony!
and Vinny is left off!
That'd be frickin' sweet. Think about it. Somebody gets cut and as they're leaving the dressing room to go back to Syracuse, the door closing behind them, somebody yells 'the pony is here!' and everybody cheers.
Just before the door closes completely, you catch a glimpse of the pony as the cheering becomes muffled by the door. You see the team's logo on the door and realize, you missed your chance.
A pony is on the other side of that door that you will never pet because it's busses and miniature horses for you in the 'cuse.
tl;dr
airplanes and ponies = NHL
busses and miniature horses = AHL

Maybe, but the roster is unchanged from what Days listed, other than Ohlund being added, which is more than likely just semantics.

Add Barberio, Gudas, Wyman, and Johnson.
Am interested to see if Ohlund is around/involved regardless of how close he is or isn't to game shape.

He helped Boucher at points as a defacto assistant coach since they were down one. I wonder if he'll do something similar this year.

Ohlund.
Angelidis and Labrie over Wyman is kinda surprising but they probably won't make the team anyway so it's not really a surprise.
None of Connolly, Johnson, Killorn and to a lesser degree Panik or Palat - that could qualify as a small suprise. Then again we knew Yzerman wants to play it safe with the young guns.
Edit: I should've read the whole thread before I hit "reply". Wyman and Johnson are coming, too.

My only explanation for this call ups is: The management thinks Connolly and Killorn can still do a lot better in the AHL and maybe they don't see that much left in the tank for Johnson. Or they don't plan to play any of them and want to push those two a little more by leaving them in Cuse

I don't think intent would manifest itself like that any of that would have been washed away with a single large callup.
If not for any logisitical reason, I'd take it to mean separate messages to the two groups. To the first group, high expectations. They were the easy callups, but there's a pressure to perform that comes along with that.
To the second group, there's lower expectations and management needed more time to figure out whether they should go or not. They need to put on a show to make the team this year.
Or maybe it was done in two groups so it would be unneccessarily read into, each individual player morphing it into to whatever they're inclined to think.
