<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EmailTruck</b></div><div>I have nothing wrong with Nazar, Slaggert, Moore, or any other prospect spending time in Rockford, if that’s what’s best for their development. I have a problem with them spending time in Rockford when it isn’t best for their development. Nazar was taken at #13, is a very good prospect, spent two years at Michigan after being drafted, and looked very good in three games with the Hawks last year. Maybe time in Rockford will help his development, but maybe he would be dominant in the AHL and the NHL is a better development location. If we sign expensive FAs, it’s harder to send them to Rockford, and we just have less flexibility. I’d rather risk needing to play Raddysh and Anderson every game because Nazar and Slaggert could actually benefit from time in the AHL than risk Nazar and Slaggert being ready for the NHL but not being able to play everyday because we can’t or won’t send Donato, Foligno, Mikheyev, or another forward to Rockford.</div></div>

Nazar was hurt for ~80% of freshman season. Specifically, about Nazar and not the other guys...that's another factor in why I want him to go to Rockford. I agree with you IF they're ready for the NHL...then go be there. Go win that position. I'm not worried about Donato/Mikheyev/etc... blocking pathways. I do like Management overall....truly I do. If Nazar wins that spot...they'll give it to him. they'll sit or trade Donato if he isn't in the top 12 forwards. They know that guys like him and AA/etc... aren't part of the long term plans.

Also, I wouldn't be upset if Nazar started in Rockford and hopefully crushes it...then come the TDL we trade a pending UFA like AA/Donato/Hall and then bring him up. I just want to take a pro-active and purposeful approach to development which they normally do, but with Reichel I don't think they've done this.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canuckfan98</b></div><div>well the thinking is you leet them season in the AHL and then once TDL rolls around and a couple of players are traded for picks then the prospects can get 20ish games of NHL experience to set them up for next season where they would be playing full time.

Also as of now I don't see anyone that is ready for full time NHL duties besides the guys I already have in the lineup, Maybe some guys you'd want as a call up but no full time guys imo.</div></div>
I would much rather see an open competition through training cap &amp; preseason with Philips, Roos &amp; Del Mastro on the Left side, Crevier, Kaiser &amp; Allan ( yes both off their regular side) on the right side than brining in any of the free agent D-Men listed above . At forward at the minimum Dach should get a look assuming he can stay healthy long enough.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EmailTruck</b></div><div>With Mikheyev, we're $5.25 million below the cap floor. That's without counting Sam Lafferty, whoever end up as 3rd pairing defense, or players 21-23 on the roster. We won't have to sign a big name free agent to hit the cap floor. But I suppose even if we sign Teuvo we've only got 13 forwards, and it's unlikely that each healthy all season long. If Hayes, Dach, Lardis, or anyone else in Rockford earns a promotion we could presumably trade Hall, Donato, or Athanasiou. I 'd be surprised to see two more big forward acquisitions, but I suppose one makes sense.</div></div>

You generally want to be multiple million over the cap floor so you have room to sell guys at the deadline and such. But agreed I think theres enough flexility to add one more 6 top guy and still give Nazar/Slaggert/Dach their shot with the big club if they earn it.
