I think its likely Rafferty or Chatfield take the 7th D spot over Rathbone. But this is a good post and likely scenario.

I really hope Ferland gets healthy enough for a full season. If not he can go LTIR for good and we can have Sutter and one other player on the roster. I think they might take Sven over Louie this year.. Or maybe even Hoglander or Lind if they kill it in camp.

IIRC the veteran rule in AHL allows you maximum 5 veteran players

With those 3 players burried, is this scenario really realistic? Will you be able to have that many vets in your AHL line up?
