I think the best way to announce the captains and assistants would be during the player introductions Friday night at the season opener.

As every year they will announce the players one by one and they come out of the tunnel and into the ice. Do them either by number or alphabetically. Save the assistants and the captain for last. Make it more of a bigger reveal than just posting it online. Make the home opener more of a show.

Would be so cool if this is what happens and Matty Sop is the captain.

Don't get me wrong, between him and Motew there is no wrong choice but just being the hometown boy, OA season, he's still got some pro prospects as he's still developing, this would be cool!

Friday is a new era. Can't wait to see everyone.

There's a rumor that DiFelice is no longer with the team anymore. Anyone closer to the team that can confirm?

JB said illness but who knows.Hasn’t been in any of the group pictures on the team bonding, but I guess we’ll see if they trade for a goalie by Friday. These are just kids if it is something we should respect his privacy.

My guess is Edwards backs up Parsons for now until they sign another goalie perhaps?

Haven’t heard anything, hopefully nothing serious if true. He’s still on the roster online which was updated today.Can’t see them burning to many of edwards game as he’s on a JR B card

Will Parson play back to back this weekend or will edwards play against flint. Personally I believe in playing the starter till he needs a break but recent years they alternate.

Considering Parson hasn't played in the better part of a year I'd take it easy on him in the early going. If something should happen to him we don't have a reliable goalie. Even though this is a rebuilding year that could stunt development of the team overall.

Same as Parsons. Hmm? Sounds like an insurance trade.

Who ever has the better numbers get the OA spot unless they flip one at the deadline. Difelice was at practice ( per JB article picture) so I ad assume they are in the process of finding him a JR B home?

My feeling is that if Parsons regains his form, we trade him for a boat load of picks and run with Malboeuf and Difelice. I can't see us going with 2 x 04's?

They traded for Tristan Malboeuf. Hope all is well with Difelice

Tristan was acquired to replace DiFelice, he wont be on the team going forward.

The idea is they want Edwards with Elmira so he can develop and not sit on the bench for 50 games behind Parson.

Did they not like DiFelice, or was it simply that they wanted a different backup option?

Very interesting. Hadn't heard anything at all, so this is news to me, and probably a lot of others.

I could be wrong about as to the why so I don't want besmirch the kids name. I just had a feeling they were moving on from him and the Tristan signing kind of leaves me to believe its more than just injury
