Wallinder-Tuomisto
Viro - Rafferty
whoever - Gibson

It's not as paper thin as you think. They'll probably add a vet FA sometime during the offseason. Maybe we can bury Petry, Holl (or both!) down there.

Gibson is not eligable to play in the AHL and you forgot Buium

For whatever reason I thought Gibson was old enough. He'll probably join the team at the end of the year if they make the playoffs.

And yeah, add Buium. That should make for a pretty good top 4 in GR. And also likely another year of Cossa and Kasper. If they can get some AHL vet scorer to replace Berggren then the team should be ok. Probably not Calder cup contenders but they should be back in the postseason.

Defense next year in GR will be fine. They'll not "probably" add an AHL vet, they'll definitely have a second AHL vet and probably a third, perhaps bringing back Didier (who wore the 'C' this year) and/or Simek.

The Griffins will be at least competitive again next season even without Berggren, Edvinsson, AlJo and possibly Kasper. There's always some veteran turnover but they'll want to bring back 2-3 of Czarnik, Hriose, Luff, L'Esperance and replace those who don't come back with similar quality. There will be dozens of AHL free agent vets this summer, as always. No trouble making the expanded playoffs and this year is a good reminder of how useful a couple playoff series wins can be for prospect development.
