Granted, Hoffman doesn't have a great chance of making the team out of training camp - and some would say that there's no chance he smells the NHL this year. However, if he gets hot in the AHL like he's capable, he might be a surprise call up - and he might actually make some noise.
Butler and Wick speak for themselves. Tier 2 prospect - not quite elite, but very strong.
The money is on one of these three to make an impact for the Sens. Who will it be?
