With the Jurmo signing, it really has me thinking about next year. Jurmo, Brzustewicz and Honzek should all be going pro, and if we sign Lipinski and Boltmann they could as well.
The blueline should be solid. Poirier, Kuznetsov (RFA), Grushnikov and Lyle (RFA) all should be returning. The aforementioned Brzustewicz and Jurmo should be joining the team. Poolman, Apirot, Pysyk and Oesterle are all UFAs, I think Piilman will be back and possibly be named captain of the team next year. I also suspect Hanley will be waived and start the season in the AHL. Solovyov is waiver eligible so I suspect he'll be on the big club.
The defense could look something like this:
Poirier - Hanley (?)
Kuznetsov - Poolman (?)
Grushnikov - Brzustewicz
x: Jurmo, Boltmann
Up front, I suspect none of Pelletier, Zary or Coronato will be with the AHL club. Stromgren, Morton, Bishop, Kerins, Ciona and Nikoleyev (not that I expect him to play much, I could even see him being loaned to a European club) are all under contract for next season. Schwindt, Klapka, Damiani & Jones are all RFAs. Parker Bell and Samuel Honzek should be going pro. Lipinski is also AHL eligible, but is currently unsigned. I would not be surprised to see Mitch McLain return, Brett Sutter will probably return if he decides not to retire.
Forwards could look something like this:
Honzek - Morton - Schwindt
Jones - Damiani - Klapka
Stromgren - Kerins - Ciona
Bishop - Sutter (?) - McLain (?)
x: Nikolayev
In goal... your guess is as good as mine. Will Markstrom or Vladar get traded? Will Vladar be waived and demoted? Could Vladar be bought out? Could Connor Murphy get a contract offer? Will Dansk return?
