More Top Free Agent Signings in The AHL

July 7, 2010 - By

It appears as if the going rate for the top free agents around The AHL is a two year two way deal with an NHL team.  I’ll hold off for now on making assumptions about why there have not been mor signings for the Amerks.

Defenseman Dan Jancevski along with forwards Tim Stapleton and Mike Glumac are still available and two players that could fit in with the Amerks.  One of these days there’ll be some news about Rochester and not just everyone else.

Here’s the players signed so far today:

Forward Kyle Greentree and defenseman Brian Fahey signed to play for the Hershey Bears.

Corey Lockey signed with the Ottawa Senators, will likely end up in Binghamton which is a team that needs all the help they can get.

Andrew Hutchinson signed for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.  In an instant he gave a huge boost to the blue line for the Penguins.  Watch for them to be serious contenders again this season.

Here’s a look at some potential free agents still available and how they’d fit into the Amerks roster followed by where the top players have already signed.

The Amerks are in need of a top line center to replace the scoring that Jamie Johnson provided.  The best option for him would be Corey Locke, a player that helped lead the Bulldogs to the Calder Cup in 2007.  Some people [...]Read More
