I think they'll be ok, even without McIver. Davison, Nycholat, and Baumgartner were probably ahead of all of those guys on the depth chart and as you mention, one of Fitzgerald, Rahimi, or Heshka should be able to step up. In what people consider to be a bad season for injury on defense, the Canucks played McIver in 17 games (and he played over Bourdon at some points, if I remember correctly). I doubt they get more than 5 or 10 games tops at that level on the depth chart.

Dallas let go of their old AHL team and will be getting a new one for next season. So for the upcoming season they will be spreading their AHL players throughout a handful of teams in the AHL.
