Pretty much a KHL farm team at this point.

Aucoin is one of those exceptional AHL players that is consistently in the top of the league with scoring. Unfortunately he just can't quite kick it up enough to stick in the NHL. I was able to watch him for a few years in Hershey and the guy is serious talent for the AHL. I think his size has a lot to do with him always ending up in the AHL.

He and Chris Borque played here at the same time and are similar players with similar results of not being able to crack the NHL.

If they take Stephane Veilleux from the Wild, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Aucoin told the paper here in the Hershey area he signed with Toronto bc it was a better oportunity to make the NHL for what it's worth.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Reasoner waived if Aucoin is going to be on the roster. I mean, hey, we keep taking all these premier players, it's about time we make our waiver donation .

AHL superstar who they probably have high hopes will bring some offense to the NHL level, when he's had enough opportunities over the years to show that's not going to happen.
