Svedberg and Fournier were not that impressive at all in the London tourney nor in the pre-season games that I watched. Johns was impressive, but I think they would like him to be a top 4 defenseman sooner rather than later so logging big minutes in the AHL will be key for him.
Keiths minutes will always hover around 25-27mins per game until he starts to show that he can't handle it. That won't be for a few years at least, imo. Chara is still logging big minutes in BOS and he doesn't have near the fitness level or skating stride that Keith has.
Why send TVR down or even think about it at this point? He has been solid at both ends of the rink, especially defensively. Just wait until he gets his offensive game going, it will make us forget Leddy sooner rather than later.
