Forgot we already had a prospects thread, so I took that out of the title.

[thefiestygoat]

This should cover most of the AHL and ECHL prospects. I used the reserve list at capgeek and what I could remember about guys on AHL deals:

AHL for the lockout?
Adam Henrique C (EDIT: Added him late to post)
Adam Larsson D
Jacob Josefson C
Stephen Gionta C
Peter Harrold D
Mattias Tedenby LW

Goalies
Keith Kinkaid
Scott Wedgewood
Maxime Clermont
Jeff Frazee

Defensemen
Brandon Burlon
Eric Gelinas
Alexander Urbom
Dan Kelly
Harry Young
Jay Leach
Matt Corrente
Raman Hrabarenka* Tryout

Left Wings
Mike Hoeffel
Harri Pesonen
J.S. Berube
Chad Wiseman
Joe Whitney* Not sure if he is signed to an AHL deal at the moment

Centers
David Wohlberg
Tim Sestito
Steve Zalewski
Phil DeSimone* AHL Contract
Kelly Zajac* AHL Contract

Right Wings
Mike Sislo
Bobby Butler
Matt Anderson
Alexandre Carrier* AHL Contract
Darcy Zajac* Not sure if he is signed to an AHL deal at the moment

I didn't include Stefan Matteau LW since he'll probably play in the Q next year if there is a lockout. Also with all of those defenseman to be scattered around Albany and the ECHL, I guess it isn't surprising that the Devils didn't sign Corbin McPherson. I was hoping they'd give him a shot, California born righty d-man standing at 6'4 220 who captained Colgate his senior season last year. His age (23) probably works against him here.

I don't think the Devils have ruled out signing McPherson, and he could still sign an AHL deal.

Of the people you list, I am pretty sure only Larsson and Josefson eligible for the AHL if the rules from last lockout stay in place. There might be a games played minimum that Stephen Gionta didn't hit, but he's on a one-way contract now.

[Jas0nMacIsaac]

Bobby Butler, Chad Wiseman and Matt Anderson were placed on waivers so they can play in Albany this season.

Butler, Josefson, Tedenby, Henrique, Anderson, Wiseman, Zalewski, Pesonen, Sislo, Sestito, Wohlberg, Hoeffel

It seems we have a jog jam of very good AHL players up front with very good young goaltenders and a very good defense. This maybe our year to make a run at the Calder Cup.

[Jas0nMacIsaac]

Pesonen - Henrique - Butler
Tedenby - Josefson - Sislo
Wiseman - Zalewski - Anderson
Hoeffel - Wohlberg - Sestito

Gelinas - Larsson
Urbom - Corrente
Burlon - Leach
Kelly

Kinkaid
Wedgewood

[SMantzas]

Pesonen - Henrique - Butler
Tedenby - Josefson - Sislo
Wiseman - Zalewski - Anderson
Hoeffel - Wohlberg - Sestito

Gelinas - Larsson
Urbom - Corrente
Burlon - Leach
Kelly

Kinkaid
Wedgewood

That defense is awesome

It's official, the team I posted should be very close to opening night's roster. Everyone will be playing in Albany.

Do you think the Swedes would be better suited in the SEL?

[Jas0nMacIsaac]

Do you think the Swedes would be better suited in the SEL?

AHL will be very strong this year, so no.

[thefiestygoat]

I'm interested in seeing how Urbom and Gelinas play against the better quality of competition this year. Should be a good measuring stick.

They are a year older and will have Larsson eat all the tough minutes. I don't think we should expect much of a drop off in play, Gelinas will almost certainly score less goals.

Just got my tickets to Albany's opening night. On the glass in 108. Super excited.

http://www.thealbany...camp-roster-set

Albany's training camp roster set, notable names that we haven't seen before: Scott Parse, formerly of the LA Kings, and Chris McKelvie, formerly of the Hartford Whale.

[thefiestygoat]

Harry Young listed as a LW and TG pointed out that he played their during the developmental camp. Looks like they are going to try to make him into an enforcer now.

[Jas0nMacIsaac]

Harry Young as an enforcer may work if he is good enough at fighting. His defense and boardwork should be excellent for an enforcer.

Scott Parse is talented enough to put up points at the NHL when healthy. He should help Albany's potent offense.

Yeah. Way too many players right now though, the training camp roster has 22 forwards, I wonder who gets sent to the ECHL - my guess would be K. Zajac, Haczyk, McKelvie, DeSimone, and two of Carrier, Young, or Berube. Hoeffel's a candidate too with how his season finished up.

[SMantzas]

Does Wohlberg have a chance at an NHL career?

[Triumph]

Does Wohlberg have a chance at an NHL career?

Career's a bit of a loaded word, but I think he has a shot to be an NHL player, yeah. I wouldn't bet on him playing 100 NHL games at even money, but I wouldn't bet against it at 3:1.

[JWomp]

Why isn't Stephen Gionta playing in Albany? He's been an AHL player (and our AHL captain) for years. You'd think they would want him down in Albany during the lockout...
