Anton Lander. Hamilton is going to start his pro career this season after a four-year stint in Saskatoon of the WHL. He-s a winger that has excellent size and, hopefully, will grow to thrive in a power forward role. I see him starting the year in the AHL, but he-s certainly got the size and strength to withstand playing against men at the NHL level, and if hi football game s offensive numbers in Oklahoma City are up to par, he could situate himself as a top call-up option.Finally, a former first round selection of the Los Angeles Kings, defenseman Colten Teubert, Taylor Chorney for a job on the NHL club out of training camp, and already has 85 games of AHL experience under his belt. As a 13th overall pick in 2008, Teubert has the pedigree to be an impact player at t football game he NHL level one day, and though I think it-s doubtful that he makes the team at the start of the year, he could force their hand as the season moves on.
