Here's how I see the Griffins looking in 14-15, assuming that Jurco will start with the Wings and XO will start with the Griffs. If a D-man prospect (XO or Marchenko) is pulled up, replace that player with Lashoff on this team.
Given that the defense will only improve as prospects develop and the goaltending team is the same, the Griffs should be early favorites in the AHL. Also, that first line is going to terrorize the league.
I wouldn't be surprised if Miele ended up as a 2nd line wing, though, so that they can put a bigger center like Nesty or Nosek on the top line. Either way, this team will be good.
I don't think both Callahan and Ferraro will be waived down. Maybe Ferraro, if Holland re-signs Alfredsson, but definitely not both. Callahan won't pass waivers. He was that good at last season. PK, net-front, agitating game + 26 goals with bottom6 ice-time.
