#1 Riley Sutter

That leaves us to the forwards. Hendrix Lapierre isn’t going anywhere. Brett Leason and Damien Riat are both restricted free agents. Aliaksei Protas is too good. Michael Sgarbossa could get traded but I wouldn’t call him a prospect. Beck Malenstyn is a restricted free agent. Garrett Pilon shouldn’t get moved.

At the bottom of the barrel is Shane Gersich who is a unrestricted free agent. Michael Vecchione has been signed so he’s probably not going anywhere. Brian Pinho is a unrestricted free agent. Henry Rybinski was just signed.

That leaves us with two names, Riley Sutter and Kody Clark. Both are right wings. Sutter makes $764,167 while Clark makes $808,333. This season Clark has six goals and 10 assists for 16 points with the Hershey Bears. Last season he had seven goals and two assists for nine points while recording three goals and six assists for nine points in the season prior.

Sutter has two goals and six assists for eight points with the Hershey Bears this season. Last season he had nine assists and the season before that he had one goal and three assists for four points.

Sutter would likely be the odd man out if I had to pick between the two. Those are the top 3 prospects who could be on the move.
