Made a little twitter rant about Hartford, i'm quite excited with how it's looking.

How i would line it up right now (i expect the roster to change but still, it's fun), using my theory of splitting up the elite AHLers to help develop the kids:
Tambellini-Carey-Ronning
Gropp-Boo-Jensen
Schneider-Fontaine-Catenacci
Leedahl-Fogarty-Lettieri
I don't have Kovács in there because we don't know what's happening with him, i could see him be loaned back to AIK this season after what happened. Strömwall could take a spot, we'll see if we sign Carey or Joly, Chapie is there somewhere but i think he sucks.
on D:
Graves-Pionk
Day-Kampfer
Pedrie/Gilmour-Zborovskiy/Pedrie
Not too much depth here though, expect some AHL signings for depth/Greenville. Go Pedrie-Kampfer, Gilmour-Zborovskiy if Day isn't ready.
Sign a good starting goalie and this shouldn't be a train wreck of a team, i say shouldn't though.
Stack the scorers on the PP but split them up 5v5 to develop the kids.
Edit: To clarify, in this example it's an even top-9 and you give the elite AHLers a lot of extra time on special teams and maybe stack the lines late in the 3rd
