I like the core of that group that's coming back. Guys like Addison, Sadowy, Holmes, Orban, Clarke, Bennett, Stephens and De Sousa out performed the vets on this team this year. That was part of the reason this team didn't do as well as they should have. Your 19 year olds shouldn't be getting out hustled and out played by 16 and 17 year olds. That being said these hard working 16 and 17 year olds are now going to be the ones asked to carry the load next year and I'm ok with that. Also either one of or both of Alexeev and Serebryakov will be gone next year because picks in the import draft can't be traded anymore.
As for prospects in the system:
G-Boyd DiClemente (96, Whitby, OJHL): 28 GP, 19-7-0-2, 2.85 GAA, 0.902 SV%
G-David Ovsjannikov (97, signed), couldn't find stats on him.
D-Marcus Crawford (Signed) (97, Whitby, OJHL): 52 GP, 8 G, 13 A
D-TJ Melancon (96, Cobourg, OJHL): 51 GP, 2 G, 16 A
F-Jackson Bales (97, Oakville, OJHL): 8 GP, 1 G, 0 A
F-Christian Rajic (97, Oakville, OJHL): 4 GP, 0 G, 1 A
F-Kyle Connor (96, Youngstown, USHL): 45 GP, 23 G, 38 A (more for 2015-16 if he is a first round pick)
Taking all this into account this is my very very early roster projection:
Moutrey-Sadowy-Cairns
Lodge-Stephens-Payne
Clarke-Bennett-Addison
Import-Alexeev-1st round pick
Prophet-De Sousa
Orban-Callaghan
Crawford-Holmes
DiClemente
Ovsjannikov
