Rangers AHL affiliate has a lot of work to do this summer
The offseason has begun for the Hartford Wolf Pack, and it is time to look at the contract statuses of the roster. At this time a majority of the team will return on October. Still, major changes are expected.
There are a lot of open spots available in which Chris Drury must fill wisely. From the coaches to veterans, the Pack must find an equal balance on ice and a developmental coach that has a successful track record. Who will walk? Who will return? That will be found out later on in the summer.
