If the lockout proceeds into the regular season, I'd like to stream AHL Bingo games online, if possible. Does the AHL have anything equivalent in quality to NHL's GameCenter?
AHLLive.com
It isn't anywhere near as good of quality, but it at least allows you to watch the games.
Maindot does a good job of streaming the games last year, though i dont think he got every game due to work, etc. so a second streamer would be awesome.
Anyone want to take a shot at a prospective lineup? Ill post mine later
Can't wait until Spezza battles Cammalleri for scoring title again.
This isn't 100% but i expect Cowen, (Who could have a breakout party this year), Bishop, Da Costa, Anyone on a two way contract in Bingo next year.... (I can't find a site that has a list of players with 2 way contracts.

Silf - ZBad - Stone
Hoff - DaCosta - Petersson
DZ - Cannone - Prince
Grant - Pageau -Jessiman
Hamilton
Culek
Caparusso
Cowick
Kramer
Schneider
I could see Eckford going in in place of Blood, he is an AHL vet. Bottom 6 forwards are going to be interesting. That is just one possibility, I'm sure this will change at camp.
The defense is going to be solid again...i'm more worried about the bottom 6...
I would expect Richardson will sub in Kramer, DZ, Hamilton and perhaps even Cowick from time to time if the bottom six proves too soft. For sure I would say Pageau and Prince will be in the top 9 let's say, probably with Grant, so that leaves Hamilton, DZ, Cowick and Culek to compete for the three spots. No idea what we're doing with Schneider though. The Sens went out and signed him and were very pleased to get him, so I assume he'll be playing in the top 9 bumping someone down into the bottom 4.
Plus, I would also guess Pageau and Prince will sit from time to time. Rookie year in the AHL, probably pretty overwhelming etc. etc.
EDIT: And Jessiman, who's obviously a huge body to play in the bottom 6 if need be.

According to CapGeek, Bishop has a one way contract.

He does, but he was on the clear day roster last year. Which means he he is eligble to sign a Professional Tryout Contract if that is the route that him and the team wish to take.

I think it would be great to have both Bishop and Lehner together in Bingo. Get to have an early competition against each other and push each other for that top spot with the big club.

I guess that depends on if there's changes to the UFA/RFA clauses under a new CBA. Under the agreement which just expired he would have been restricted next summer.

Holy god is that a deep team. I just threw together some personal preferences really, it could go so many ways. I tried to separate some of the defensive, big bodied forwards like Grant, Zibanejad, Jessiman, and Stone to spread the lines and make them all defensively responsible.
I think the top 4 on defense are pretty set in stone though.
Please don't separate Petersson and Da Costa. Those two were really good together last season.
I agree, I just think there are going to be some "background" demands for certain prospects (Zib and Silf) and their ice time. Also I dont think the line of Hoff - Da Costa - Petersson would work...they would be murdered. Maybe Zib will play LW?

That line played all year together last year...
Also, Grant does not play center, or at least he hasn't in his time in Binghamton. He takes faceoffs on occasion but for most of his shifts, he's on the wing.
