I think so

it’s probably not answerable right now. Also if this has been mentioned above I apologize. but anyway. A question and a comment:

Q: If you had to make a prediction, which goalie do you think makes the Providence Bruins out of Swayman and Keyser.

C: I wonder if the plan is to go with Vladar and Booth in the AHL and loan both Keyser and Swayman out to ECHL teams that they could start on.

Swayman could petition NCAA to get his remaining year of eligibility back, while he does have a pro contract he hasn't played a game

Do signing bonuses impact that? He did get a $92K signing bonus which I could see the NCAA saying "no way"

Possible, probably probable, though the NCAA is handing out exemptions like candy right now,it's a mess

Providence Bruins should have a very strong lineup again this year and I'm really looking forward (praying) the AHL season to begin again.
Off the top of my head the traing camp roster could look something like this.
I'm sure Jack Studnicka, Trent Frederic, Zach Senyshyn and Jakub Zboril all will be in Boston from the start, especially if Pastrnak and Marchand miss some games. But we'll see. Pretty exciting about this team.

Goal:
Daniel Vladar, Jeremy Swayman, Kyle Keyser, Callum Booth

Left defense
:
Urho Vaakanainen, Nick Wolff, Jack Ahcan, Cooper Cech, Derek Sheppard
Right defense:
Brady Lyle, Josiah Didier, Steven Kampfer, Joel Messner

Center:
Greg McKegg, Oskar Steen, Cameron Hughes, Pavel Shen, Samuel Asselin
Left wing:
Matt Filipe, Paul Carey, Anton Blidh, Joona Koppanen, Brendan Woods
Right wing:
Robert Lantosi, Karson Kuhlman, Jakub Lauko, Alex-Olivier Voyer

They should be gritty and fun to watch if nothing else. Goals maybe hard to come by even with Kuhlman and Senyshyn back which I expect as soon as the Bruins get healthy.

Having the 3 Western Canadian NHL teams with US based affiliates really tosses a monkey wrench into the situation. I don't think the AHL (and to a lesser extent ECHL) situation gets enough press. These aren't the multi-million dollar operations that the NHL is, nor do they have big fat TV contracts propping up their revenues. I have a hard time believing the AHL or ECHL can operate under the current circumstances. I guess some owners are willing to eat the loss if it means saving the season.
