The Stockton Heat were one of the top teams in the American Hockey League in 2019-20, finishing eighth in points percentage. A lot of the credit has to go to their depth players, including a defensive core that relied heavily on AHL signees.
Will any of these AHL-contracted players be brought back for 2020-21?
So far, the Heat have signed three defenders to AHL deals: Greg Moro, Koletrane Wilson and Noah King. Additionally, the Flames have added Emilio Pettersen, Connor Mackey and Colton Poolman to contracts, while previously signed prospects Dmitry Zavgorodniy and Carl-Johan Lerby are likely joining Stockton.
