Decent depth guy. He's productive in the AHL, and not terribly out of place in a 4th line energy role at the NHL level if injuries hit.
Assume we'll be needing some depth centers too, with Sundqvist gone and Porter a UFA. And they'll probably sign like 8 or 9 d-men too.

Wouldn't mind having Gaunce back, he was solid in his call-ups.
That's surprising. I thought only the guys one AHL-only deals, like Kostopoulos, made 6 figures.

Nope, players of Wilson's caliber in the AHL tend to make up to half of the NHL league minimum on two-way deals. Otherwise European leagues would be much more inviting.
I think most AHL teams have a few vets making comfortable 6 figures, not sure what the limit is on how many you can have.
Surprising, but good for him. My name is Wilson, my son refers to Scott Wilson as my other son. Maybe Garret could be a third, and thanks for the info.

I guess the guys who are veterans are usually the ones who get the minimum guarantee deal. I imagine Porter had one and possibly Gaunce/Warsofsky.

Back in the 2000s basically only independent AHL teams like Hershey or Chicago had players reliably making more than $100,000 per season on the farm. That's how the Bears won so many Calder Cups. But salaries for top veterans with NHL experience have gone way up across the league recently. On the Baby Pens there've been some high earners in recent years.
Kostopoulos, Smith, Ebbett, Mouillierat, Oleksy, Warsofsky: 300k per season
Conner, Drazenovic, O'Neill, Porter, Gaunce, Ruhwedel: 250k
Jeffrey, Sestito, Percy: 200k

Would like to grab an old linemate of Jake Guentzel, Austin Ortega. Put up 4 goals in 6 games for the Ducks AHL team. I assume he's going to be offered an AHL deal by them at the very least.

That mostly changed once re-entry waivers went away with the latest CBA. It used to be that any player that made less than ~100k in the AHL were not subject to re-entry waivers, so teams would keep the two-way contracts below that limit for the AHL portion of the deal so they could call-up those guys without dealing with the possibility of losing them. Once re-entry waivers went away, teams were willing to (and players were asking for) deals that had higher AHL salaries, since there was no longer a risk of losing them on a call-up.

Relevant to the conversation re: AHL salaries.
Carey will be 29 when the season starts, has 2 career NHL points, but was PPG with Hershey last year.

I like Nestrasil and Sgarbossa. Players who could do an okay job in a limited role in the NHL if injuries happen.
