I'm not going to get my hopes up either
Exactly ... I enjoy following the NCAA free agents and everything and keeping up with them, but the chances of Dallas landing even one of them is slim.
Blue is correct, RW looks a little thin next season.
No guarantee Glennie gets through waivers or spends the season as a 13th forward (to avoid waivers, Sceviour will be gone, and I wouldn't exactly put it past Ritchie (dude's looked great even when he's not scoring ... just has a positive impact on the game) to force his way into an NHL spot.
Best case scenario, for Texas, you have Ritchie and Stransky as right wings. Vause is a right shot center that can play wing, but he's only on an STO with Texas. He could bolt for a better situation on a different AHL team. Unlike Hedden and Dowling, he's not getting a choice opportunity among Dallas' prospects.
Holmberg and other undrafted free agent RW would make quite a bit of sense right now. Otherwise, we'll probably see them go pay more for an AHL veteran making a higher AHL salary to fill some holes.
