Kindl hasn't really made the jump... he'll be back in the OHL next year.
I think "MeffyuhTJRest" means for the AHL/NHL playoffs. I think it is spring right now, isn't it? If that is what was meant , Bobby Ryan should be added to that list even though nothing has been announced yet. Andrej Sekera will be moving on to Rochester and not back to Owen Sound.

Unofficially:
Bobby Ryan from Owen Sound (OHL) to Portland (AHL)
Andrej Sekera from Owen Sound (OHL) to Rochester (AHL)

I just meant players who are playing in the AHL/NHL regardless of where they will be next yr.

Marc Staal might be going to Hartford as well, but as of yet it hasn't happened.

Staal will be going to New York to play with the Rangers

Only if Malik, Kaspar, and another D-man are still injured. I think the Blue Shirts will go with Poti, Ozolinsh, Pock, Tyutin, and Strudwick. I can see Sather starting him in Hartford and then playing it by ear.

It's my understanding that the Rangers called him to NY already, to be with the team, and experience the atmosphere.

He hasn't been put on their roster. NYC is about 2 drive from Hartford. I don't know if they want to put a kid with such little pro experience on their roster at such a crucial time. I could be wrong, but goign with 3 rookie defenseman is risky.
