Guys like Blueger, Dea, Johnson, DiPauli, Pedan, Summers & Wilson will be returning with either Jarry or DeSmith in net. Then incoming rookies like Miletic, Angello, Olund, Lafferty.. And they always end up signing more vets than they need, they’ll probably be good like always.
Maybe give Quinney and Haggerty two-way NHL deals to round out the forwards, sign a handful of veteran D-men since the prospect cupboard is pretty bare there, a veteran goalie like Zatkoff or McKenna for a backup and they’re set.
There’s always UFAs in that 24-27 age range that’ll take a two-way deal in NA rather than go to Europe, and we have the selling point of easy AHL travel plus a short distance to Pittsburgh, and having the reputation of calling up whoever is most deserving regardless of whether they’re a prospect or a journeyman.
Summers probably gets the C from Kostopoulos.
