Manchester playoff roster
This is what the Monarchs' roster will look like going forward, and in the playoffs if they make it. Manchester is currently four points behind fourth-place Springfield in the Atlantic Division. AHL teams are also allowed to add junior players and players signed to amateur-tryout contracts.
Goaltenders: Erik Ersberg, Jonathan Quick
Defensemen: Drew Bagnall, Peter Harrold, Jon Klemm, Jeff Likens, Troy Milam, Richard Petiot, Joe Piskula
Forwards: Brian Boyle, Marc-Andre Cliche, Paul Crosty, Gabe Gauthier, Trevor Lewis, David Meckler, Matt Moulson, Brady Murray, Teddy Purcell, Matt Ryan, Lauri Tukonen, Kevin Westgarth, John Zeiler
In addition, forward Petr Kanko, Patrik Hersley and goaltender Daniel Taylor are listed as ``in residence,'' meaning they're eligible to fill a roster spot if needed, if a player on the roster is hurt or in the NHL.
Daniel Taylor only "in residence".
He has the best record on the team and most shutouts.
Rich, does it seem like Kanko's days in the organization are numbered? I remember when he was drafted he was fairly well thought of, but has had his personal issues since then. And why is Taylor treated like a red head stepchild?
I think that pretty well clarifies the Taylor situation. He's not listed on the official roster because he doesn't have to be. Quick and Ersberg (I think) are on 2 way contracts, whereas Taylor is only signed to Manch, not the Kings. Did I get that right?
