too early to tell if this is going to be a problem or not. You don't want to just hand Juolevi and Hughes roster spots but it would be concerning if they couldn't beat out a majority of the guys in front of them (for Juolevi anyways). Like many others I'm in the start them in the minors camp. Unless one or both come in and give the team no choice but to find them a spot on the roster, in which case trades will have to be made.
I wouldn't worry about Brisebois or Sautner making the team just yet. Neither have really established themselves as top-flight AHL d-men.
What does concern me is the fact that once our young guys start cracking the lineup they'll pretty much end up having to lug around some sub-par partner rather than being able to play sheltered minutes next to a steady vet.
I guarantee that as soon as one of Juolevi or Hughes make the team they're immediately tied to Gudbransson for "protection"
