Defense for 2013-14

[DelPen]

So how does the defense look for guys under contract?

Signed:
Samuelsson
Ruopp
Dumoulin
Harrington
D'Agostino
McNeil

Free agents that could return?
Seymour
Velischek
Mormina
Wild
Bortuzzo

That's a young group, I would assume at least Mormina would come back unless someone gives him a crack at the NHL.

So thoughts from people who know the players?

Mormina signed with another AHL club, a little bit surprising to me as he was the Captain, but the other team must have given him considerable more money and hopes that he could get in a few NHL games.

Samuelsson is almost an experienced AHL'er by now. Dumoulin played enough to be trusted this year. The rest are green, BUT they need minutes. I hope the WBS squad runs with just thos guys, give them tons of developmental minutes.
