SOB for MVP Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Also keep in mind that all teams will be REQUIRED to have full farm teams in the AHL this upcoming season. That means, a minimum of 12 forwards, 6 defencemen, and 2 goaltenders. I would also recommend a few spares, for injuries will still be on at the AHL level (albeit at a lower rate then the NHL), and you never know when you will need to call somebody up.
