I could see Green playing Gaudette on the 4th line with extremely sheltered minutes. Maybe.
But most likely Utica.
I think you are absolutely correct. I have the ? out for Adam as well, but think in the end it will be Utica to start. Pettersson will be the only rookie.
However, any fan in Utica looking to get Gaudette's autograph better be at the preseason season ticket holder meet and greet the Comets gathering because he won't be around long. When Pettersson isn't getting a lot of opportunity to show his skills with the fodder he will be playing with as his center, Gaudette will get his shot. If that isn't the reason, the fragility of this lineup seen in the past will see an early season injury and Gaudette will be #1 to fill the gap. That injury could occur as early as preseason and end this guessing game right off the bat.
Like Stecher before him, his visit is likely to be a short one. The plus for Uticans is the Comets open at home for the first time ever and fans will get to see him play a couple times before his recall. We never saw Stecher play any of his 4 GP with the Comets.
