2013-14 WHL Predictions

Where do you see Estephan playing?

 

[Bocephus]

I see Giorgio Estephan starting on the 4th line. He is behind Maxwell, Duke, and probably Olynek at centre. A few other centres have been moved to wing already. Ramsay is a centre that is likely to be shipped out. Injuries and trades happen so he could max out as a 3rd line centre at some point this year.
This is a testament to the depth the Canes are now enjoying that a 4th overall can learn without pressure.

 

[Royal Canuck]

New article on how Tyler Soy and Joe Hicketts will affect the Royals next season.

Oil Kings are looking pretty thin up front.

They will be in tough to make the playoffs this year.

I wouldn't go nearly that far. Sure, they're a far cry from the last 2-3 years, but they're still a playoff team. Lazar, Samuelsson, Moroz, Kulda and mixing in some younger faces like Bertolucci, Benson, Baddock, Eller, Bauer and you're not too bad.

I know they're in the market for another F or two, but their D is still average at worst and there goaltending should definitely be fine.

 

[Regina Pat]

I'll join in.

East Division
1. Prince Albert Raiders
2. Edmonton Oil Kings
3. Calgary Hitmen
4. Red Deer Rebels
5. Kootneay Ice
6. Swift Current Broncoes
7. Medicine Hat Tigers
8. Regina Pats
------------------------------
9. Brandon Wheat Kings
10. Lethbridge Hurricanes
11. Moose Jaw Warriors
12. Saskatoon Blades

9. Brandon Wheat Kings
10. Regina Pats
11. Moose Jaw Warriors
12. Saskatoon Blades

I realize one of the East Division teams will get handed the number 2 seed. However Bruno in Prince Albert will continue to not meet expectations after how many years? And surely Lethbridge will rebound after four years in the basement.

Henrik Samuelsson was sent down to the Oil Kings today.

Lazar signed an elc and survived a round of cuts in Ottawa.

Reinhart is still with the Islanders.

Jarry was cut by the Pens.

I don't think their favourites to win the championship, might not win their division, but I still they will go far in the playoffs. I would be very surprised if Lazar survives all the cuts.

Reinhart is still with the Islanders.

Jarry was cut by the Pens.

It's highly likely that the 1st 3 guys will be back for the Oil which makes them a playoff team right there.

 

[Tiger Trauma]

So I added up all the scores from last year based on Eastern Conference Only
AVG = How many spots out on average everyone was.

1. Regina Pat AVG 2.5 Correct: CGY
2. Yandle/jamie Benn AVG 2.67 Correct: Edm, MJ
3. Sunsoutgunscout AVG 2.833 t Correct: BRN, MJ
4. ELL AVG 3.5 Correct: MH
5. Western Hockey Scout AVG 3.5
5. TigerTrauma AVG. 4.1
6. SEPH AVG 5.167


I did horrible, but those top 3 did really well.
