Hard to send Connolly down the way he has played. Tyrell has had his time with this team already, has he proven to be more than a pressure guy? Has Brown done more than Palat? No on both from what I have heard. The surprise of camp, JP Cote is making decisions even tougher than Sustr has. He's older and plays that hard nosed style Cooper likes. Did Barbario prove he was ready? Decisions are even tougher than expected, thought that wouldn't be possible. Nice problem to have for a change.
We will lose Pyatt if we try to send him to Syracuse since he would have to go on the waiver wire some team will pick him up. I think Tyrell and Brown will both go back to Cuse and be first call ups. Kucherov needs a full year in the AHL. Not sold on Barberio but the Bolts seem to want him. We would lose Aulie to the waiver wire so I agree there, I noticed the Bolts are giving Cote a long look as well so maybe Cote and Sustr are first call ups on D.
Going to be a fun year.
