Pleased to report that Zack Nastasiuk played last night for Grand Rapids. Good to see him back after that nasty hit.

Mike: As you know Grand Rapids were eliminated but there will be a former Attack player lifting the Calder Cup. Paul Bissonette vs. Bobby Sanguinetti.

Hey Duke Guy. I was missing you there. How's the off-season going? Former Attack coach Mike Stothers is also in the mix. Cheers, Mike
Hey Mike, Coach Stothers gets the ring and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets on some more short lists for NHL jobs.
Shocked that dunda was picked, spends more time laying on the ice then skating, I hope for better things this season, and I hope for some offseason trades for guys who can score

The Dunda pick was heavily influenced by former Attack scout and now St. Louis scout Ian MacLellan. They see a raw talent.

I didn't see him laying on the ice much this year but I didn't see much to say he's an NHL pick. but I am not a scout. I do remember some speedy flashes down the wing and if he can become a force in front of the net he could develop.
I would think a trade for a vet forward with scoring ability will come..

Great for Dunda, Listening to G.M. Armstrong, said big strong,good skater and can fight. Don't think he was drafted for his goal scoring

2013 6th Round pick Brent Gates Jr. was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the 3rd round this past weekend.
I guess the Attack brass is pushing hard to get Ben Gates the play in the sound next season, and they have a pending trade for an overager that might be announced tomorrow

As a Ducks fan I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he winds up in Owen Sound. He doesn't strike me as a player who requires 4 years of physical development in college, plus I think his style fits Owen Sound to a tee.

Here's a link to our story on the Josh Sterk trade,

As you know the Attack have 2 assistant coaching positions open. One is full-time while the other is more of a part-time position. I'd like to see the team sit down with Jarrod Maidens and see if the latter position could be a good fit.
don't see Maidens fitting a coaching role yet or even at all,what experience does he really have? besides the kid needs an education, let him go to school first and get an education

I have to agree, I don't think Jarrod would be a good fit. Lacks the experience and from my limited views the personality to be a coach. Great kid, but quiet and reserved. I think his focus is education and moving forward in life beyond hockey.
The thing with the starting lineup is that the Attack have the quantity not the quality.. trades need to be made as they lack top 6 players and a top 2 defense. with that said this is how my starting line up would look
Flinn / McNiven
D: Schemitsch Centorame
Sharipzyanov MacArthur
Meyer Phillips
Walters Friend (odd men out)
F: Palmu Sterk Szypula (be nice if Platzer got sent back but I don't think that will hapen)
Gadjovich Gilligan Gates (I think DD will get him to report)
Hancock Suzuki Dunda
Lindo/Reynolds Brack Busch
from interviews DD is working on getting players, so this is my opinion a lot of players that show flashes but not enough consistency from over 3/4 of them

Has Lindo fallen so far that he's honestly a 4rth liner as a 20yo? Just asking for honest opinions.
the issue with this team is that they have the same type of the players, which seem to be third and fourth line type players there is just too many players like Lindo and with his injuries in the past and didn't stand out last year I don't see him as a top 6 forward. With that said a lot can change over the summer and he may be the player that fans saw back in his first year where is was dominant as a rookie
