Obvious, and probably NHLer's:
Brandon Davidson - Obviously a keeper. I'd sign him for 3 years probably
Zack Kassian - 2x2. If he keeps his head out of his ass he's a good 3rd liner.
Iiro Pakarinen - Physical, good shot, Right handed and improving. A no-brainer.
Laurent Brossoit - Our top prospect.
Obvious AHLer's:
David Musil - No brainer IMO, young D take time and as long as they keep improving then you keep bringing them along. He's got Doug Murray potential still, and he was something like 24 when he made the show.
Jordan Oesterle - They can't all be rookies in the AHL and he's improving. I'd sign him.
Probably keep for one more year:
Adam Clendening - I'd keep him as depth, we need some righty's.
Kale Kessy - Doing better than i thought he would be, i think he probably deserves another contract.
Tyler Pitlick - I thought the bulb turned on last year for him but he just can't stay healthy. I'd probably qualify him for depth. He's the kind of guy that can be useful in the bottom 6, and he does seem to be still improving.
No idea:
Niklas Lundstrom - No idea, let's see how he looks.
Luke Gazdic - He's not bad for an enforcer but he's part of a dying breed. If they want to keep an enforcer in the system just in case then for sure you qualify him, as he's one of the best out there in terms of fighting and hockey ability, but if management is ready to move on from this player type then they should just cut bait.
Let go:
Martin Gernat - Obviously should be let go.
