They've already added two veterans in Eric Manlow (via Grand Rapids [Wings]) and Dan Jancevski (via Iowa [Stars]).
Here's a list of forwards who will likely start the year in Hamilton ...
Eric Manlow
Corey Locke
Andrei Kostitsyn
Maxim Lapierre
Francis Lemieux
Duncan Milroy
Jonathan Ferland
Michael Lambert
Cory Urquhart
Jimmy Bonneau
Kyle Chipchura*
Mikhail Grabovsky*
Mathieu Aubin*
Matt D'Agostini*
Greg Stewart*
* first year pro
Mind you, one of these forwards will make the Canadiens. There is a vacancy. Bonneau and Urquhart spent 05-06 with Long Beach (ECHL). As for the defensive corps ...
Dan Jancevski
J.P. Cote
James Sanford
Andre Benoit
Andrew Archer
Jon Gleed*
Alexandre Dulac-Lemelin*
It should be noted, that both Gleed and Dulac-Lemelin were signed to AHL contracts. If the Habs/Bulldogs do pursue another veteran. It will be a defenseman. Therefore, one of the kids will be sent to Cincinati (ECHL). No concerns with goaltending. Yann Danis and Jaroslav Halak are a fine duo.
