I'm not too surprised that many of these AHL guys might not get qualified...Chicago has probably informed Gillis of how many prospects they're willing to take, and how many of their roster spots will be taken up by AHL vets, and space is limited. No sense keeping a guy like Sweatt around in the ECHL.
Shirokov on the other hand, definitely should be qualified, even if he gets moved to Winnipeg for a pick or something later on in the off-season or the season.
