Would it be fair to expect a top 10 pick? Or will SC be better than that?Even though most of the staff either quit or have moved on

Once again genius, they have plenty of decent pieces. I'm not going to go over again, what they have because you pretend to know. They have good talent coming up, yes they are still young, but for THIS SEASON they have solid veteran leadership, and goaltending.Blazers sent 18 year old Jackson Shepard to Lethbridge for 19 year old Zane Franklin and a 2020 4th. Interesting to see Blazers ship off a younger guy for an older guy but Franklin's experience should definitely help out this upcoming season. Shepard has had a pretty quiet couple years so far but works his butt off every shift. Franklin's career so far has also been quiet but IMO this was an expected type deal for Kamloops to do this and also I like them getting that draft pick.
Happy to see Bardsley start making some deals. He has a lot of work to do with this squad!
Not sure about another WHL site, but I think this one is as good as it’s gonna get.Is there another whl site for fans to talk about their teams like in the ohl thread?, or is it just this one giant league wide discussion?

Yeah I’m personally a Cougars fan and I’m not sure how many more there are on this board so a seperate thread for each team would be pretty pointless.They have quite a bit more fans on here. Most of the team threads would be pretty dead. I think that's why we just have a single thread.
Thank the holy lord
He had some of the worst position I’ve ever seen. Blocker side was almost open every single time he faced someone in or around the right circle. Gauthier even with how young he is, his positioning is already miles better. I think the fact he came into the gold medal game in relief at the Hlinka Gretzky and pitching a shutout will help with his development exponentially.God he is such garbage. How he lasted as long as he did is beyond me. The crease is now Gauthier's I'm assuming, which is awesome.

My prediction for East Division order...
1 - Brandon Wheat Kings
2 - Prince Albert Raiders
3 - Saskatoon Blades
4 - Swift Current Broncos
5 - Moose Jaw Warriors
6 - Regina Pats
Did swift current lose a lot due to the overage limit and having to get rid of there core? Even then 15 wins seems like a huge step back for the whl champs of last seasonany insight asto why you have Swift Current ranked ahead of both Regina and Moose Jaw? I have Swift pegged for sub fifteen wins this season.

Cougars have Swift Current’s 1st this year and when you take into consideration all the players they lost, there’s a chance it could be a top 5 pick. I’m really looking forward to this season.
Saskatoon has Regina's 2019 first round pick. The 2019 WHL Bantam Draft has the added element of Matthew Savoie having the option of declaring for exceptional status. No idea if that will happen or not. If he does I feel confident saying he would be the first overall pick.
Yeah I’ve heard lots about Savoie. If the Cougars get the 1st overall pick with Swift Current’s AND end up having a good year? We’d be a deadly team in 2020.Saskatoon has Regina's 2019 first round pick. The 2019 WHL Bantam Draft has the added element of Matthew Savoie having the option of declaring for exceptional status.
