Free Agency? Possibly. I'm much less aware on the goings-on of AHL veteran acquistions.
As for the draft, I can answer. Our top pick this year won't be an AHL body, regardless of the pick, nor will any other 2019 selection.
Our recent drafts:
2012-2015 is dead.
2016 really only has potentially Glotov for this upcoming year (and the aforementioned Fitzgerald)
2017 will bring us Luukkonen and Bryson
2018 won't have anything yet, unless they decide to rush Pekar, or he has a hulk-up summer.
(Side note, picking only 6 times in each of 2017 and 2018 will eventually hurt the overall depth-flow of the pipeline).
That pretty much leaves the UDFA market. Guys like Ruotsalainen could make up the difference, but that's on Botts to fill the void of incoming young AHL talent with non-draft solutions.
