Ring-a-ding-dong-dandy Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 As discovered through a Abbotsford Heat tweet today, the Heat roster is up on the AHL website. Obviously the list is still a little long, but its definitely starting to take shape. http://theahl.com/stats/roster.php Forwards (15): Carter Bancks Lance Bouma Paul Byron Guilliame Desbiens Ryan Howse Krys Kolanos Quintin Laing Logan MacMillan Stefan Meyer Greg Nemisz Gaelan Patterson John Rheault Dustin Sylvester Mitch Wahl Ben Walter Defense (9): Chris Breen TJ Brodie Patrick Cullity Jordan Henry James Martin Brendan Mikkelson John Negrin Joe Piskula Clay Wilson Goaltenders (3): David Brown Leland Irving Joni Ortio One name stood out to me, Krys Kolanos. He is back with the baby Flames, he spent 2007/08 in Quad City and amassed 30 goals and 63 points in 65 games with the team. He has played limited games since then though, partially due to being an injury recall in Minnesota and being injured himself. I also find no record of him playing at all in 2010/11, with the exception of a failed tryout with the Islanders. So this may be a comeback attempt for the Calgary native. So far in his AHL career Kolanos has scored 106 goals and 202 points in 226 games. At the NHL level he has managed 20 goals and 41 points in 136 games. Kolanos is 6'2, 200lbs and plays ever forward position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baalzamon Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 looks like a veteran forward line is in the making to me Laing - Walter - Kolanos then maybe something like Bouma - Byron - Nemisz Howse - Wahl - Rheault Bancks - Meyer - Desbiens X-McMillan, Sylvester, Patterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering switching him with Wahl FYI. anyway, I have no argument with those lines. They look pretty good to me. Looks like a Calder Championship team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a Calder Championship team Its a better line-up but it still has a long ways to go. Especially on the wing. It will get really interesting if Horak, PLL, Ivanans, or another forward are demoted. I am also curious how things end up on D, especially with Smith/Carson are sent down.
