Its kind of annoying now that I have my 2 best prospects playing on the 3rd and 4th line and not being able to do anything about it

If you can upload your save and give me a few specific examples, I'll take a look. But bear in mind a couple of things: the depth chart is arranged in an order that primarily takes into account the overall quality of the player, while the lineup AI is making decisions based on which players are the best fit for a line, taking many more factors into account. And the AHL tends to compound that effect, because the level of quality in the league is much more compressed on a top-to-bottom basis than most leagues, since the really good players get moved up. So the difference between #1 and #4 on the depth chart isn't as large as it would be in, say, the NHL, and that tends to create more situations where a guy who's lower on the chart may still be the best guy to play with the other two players on the first line.
