I must admit I'm surprised at Ronning's lack of scoring in the AHL. You don't see a guy score 60 goals in 70+ games in juniors that often and do nothing offensively in the AHL. I would suspect they are making him work on the rest of his game which was lacking. However, I would at this point be playing him a ton as the trigger guy on the PP and see if his offense can breakout. If you look at that roster down there forward wise, it sucks. Next year is a different story. If they won't give Lettieri another chance here then they should move him to a team that is rebuilding like Detroit, Ottawa or L.A.
Next year I agree is it for Ronning. You probably are looking at Kravtsov, maybe Lias, Barron, Pajuniemi, Gettinger, Miller, Grossf, Rykov and some vets down there. I see no way Lundkvist isn't on the big club next season.
