AHL Clear Day deadline is Monday 3/7 at 3:00 pm ET. Anyone have any roster predictions? If so, leave them in the comments.
Comments are closed.
Andrew Gordon downgraded?! Noooooooo!
I read the article about the AHL and some of its players being the “unwanted” in the NHL. He makes the assertion that all of these cities and arenas are dumps. How little the man knows, Hershey is a first class home to a first class team…next time do your homework!!!
personally I think what you see is what you’ll get on Monday. The only addition that I could see would be a goaltender but I am not even sure they will do that.
You know i read that article about the salary loophole… what confused me the most in the article was they felt the need to remind us Sheldon Souray used to be married to a Baywatch beauty.. how is that relevant at all? lol
