Meet the Pirates: A look at AHL Portland's roster - Forwards

The Cats blossoming prospects, along with some AHL vets, will make up the forward ranks for Portland this season.

After saying goodbye to San Antonio's leading scorer Bobby Butler, as well as veteran Mark Mancari and middling prospects like Ryan Martindale and Andrew Yogan, the Florida Panthers needed to inject some new bodies into the mix for the AHL affiliate shift to Portland, ME.

The Pirates forward group will look pretty similar to what the Rampage rolled out last season with a few notable exceptions. One or two of the players listed below could wind up on the Panthers opening night roster, but since they finished the regular season in the AHL, we'll keep them at that level until they actually make the jump.
