I expect a 4 way competition between those goalies (Aitto, Patterson, Millan, and Pickard), with a loser assigned to our ECHL affiliate and another loaned out to the CHL or traded.
I'm still surprised that we signed all 4 of them though. Doesn't seem to be enough slots to develop them all properly.

Aitto will still be in Finland for this year. It will be between Pickard, Patterson and Millan.

I think the pecking order is currently Pickard>Aitto>Patterson=Millan. Aitto will likely go back to Finland for this year, and Pickard and the better or Patterson or Millan will be in Lake Erie.

Yup, if Aitto doesn't make Lake Erie, I'm very sure they will loan him to Finland. The battle will be between Pickard, Patterson, and Millan with the loser (guessing Millan) being sent to either our CHL team or loaned to a ECHL team.
I remember Pock (pronounced "poke" if no one else has mentioned it) from his days in the Rangers system. Converted from forward to D in college, saw some spot duty in the NHL. Great AHL depth signing.
I wish we could watch the LEM on TV here in CO somehow, would be fun to see some of our prospects on a game to game basis.
Yeah, I feel the same. I only get to watch them when they play the Toronto Marlies as the Marlies games are on LeafTV. I wish there was an AHL pack in the sports package like there is the "OHL Action Pack" in addition to NHL Centre Ice, etc.

My guess is they have some games there. MILB has a package where they choose about 10~15 games per day and you get to choose which one you want to watch from those 10~15 games, cost $30. Bet AHL has something close to that.
Lerg - Hishon - Van Der Gulik
Connolly - Sgarbossa - Thomas
Malone - Heard - Walker
Bordeleau -Carey - ______
Gaunce - Elliott
Poke - Barrie
Chouinard - ______
Pickard
Patterson
That is how currently see LEMs lineup.
Updated with the minor signings. Lake Erie should be a pretty solid team next year. Two good scoring lines, a solid 3rd line, and great top 4. Their #1 PP should be scary good at the AHL level.
