The following Icecaps have signed elsewhere for next season (that I'm aware of):
Zach Redmond
Andrew Gordon
Kael Mouillerat
Anyone else worried that three of our best players are gone?

I'm a bit worried about it, especially Redmond who I believe is a legitimate NHL quality defenseman - in the right organization anyway.
Other than him, it'll be interesting to see if those guys make it big or if they're AHL lifers. If they can't crack the Jets line up then I guess you'd have doubts about how they're going to crack someone else's. Then again, Jets management never thought Stu Barnes or Kris Draper could play so hopefully that kind of history isn't going to repeat itself.
I'm hoping Klingberg gets a legitimate shot at the Jets this year.

Yes to Klingberg! He looked impressive during the run to the Calder. I was amazed at his speed and he threw the body around when it was needed.

All of them were expendable. We have a lot of depth on defence and Redmond is a big question mark. The others would have been approached if there was a plan to have them here and they're gone. Propects come and go all the time if Managment thinks they don't fall into long term plans. It's our core guys I worry about if they leave, the scheifeles and troubadour are the heart of the team.

Add Jerome Samson to the list.

That's kind of just the way it is though. Largely career minor leaguers who either see a better chance for a "shot" in another org, or a better paycheque in a different AHL city.
Put it this way, and no offense to the players, but Gordon, Mouillerat, and Samson are past the "prospects" stage, and if they were ever recalled to the Jets it would be on an emergency plug basis. Those guys come and go. Sucks for the fans in St. John's... but that's the way it goes.
Bummed we lost Redmond though, but don't begrudge him for signing elsewhere.

Probably could have offered him more money.
