Brenner will almost assuredly have to spend more time in the AHL before getting a shot at the Leafs, unless he blows everyone away at camp.
Raymond was a solid contributor to the B-Sens improbable Calder Cup Championship, so has probably earned a serious look at remaining in the AHL for at least the beginning of this season. The NHL is a stretch, but you never know if his contributions keep improving, especially with a subpar team like Ottawa.
DeMichiel, on the other hand... I find it very difficult to see him even cracking the Providence lineup. I don't know much about the Bruins' # 3 through # 6 goaltenders, but I do know they've had a quite solid farm system over the last few years (any surprise they won?). At the moment, he's not even listed in their top 6 goalies. Looks like he may be looking at another ECHL season, at least to start. But then again, who knows? If he's still improving his game as he has over the last couple seasons, he might just force them to give him a look in the AHL sooner than later.

Pinner has clearly established himself as an AHL player with a shot at a fill-in role in the NHL. It may be tough cracking the forward lineup in Vancouver, but not much tougher than Washington.

Guess we really are starting to get noticed by "the big boys"... Might need to play these games at HSBC Arena soon.
