Pushed it out to next season as I fell behind on building the site. We also ran out of non-event nights where we could make the announcement - Gardiner doesn't like promotions during Play-off games (sing the anthem and let's go) so moving to next season was the best option instead of forcing it into a tight time-frame.
Would like to see them play a double-header with the Women's team.
Yes he would. MJW is loaded with talent. He's pretty high up on UNB Bruins Fan list.
Not on Elite Prospects. Maybe signed but not confirmed?
I would be looking at Matthew Sop too...43 goals/90 points last season with Kitchener...played with Petizian and Nolet a few years ago...they have a need for a top line LW'er now with Keating going pro.
We’ve also seen in the past that often a lot of the points come from returning guys. I think McGurn has a high ceiling and I expect we see more out of Sproule if he’s healthy.
This is true…you have to expect some of those losses will be off-set by improvements from within. I agree with McGurn/Sproule being the two likeliest candidates to see increased production next year. Carson is another guy I could see taking a step forward (provided he’s back).
With that trio gone, I would think that they would be looking a 40 plus goal scorer, maybe 2.
My guess is that the guys to replace those three haven't been "rumoured" yet, although Reynolds may fall into that category. And whatever trio they bring in won't get us 120 points. Realistically we are looking to replace 90 points with the "new" trio and the uptick from the vets.
I would be OK with that. LOL
Unless an absolute horse comes in (players at that level will want pro), the recruits wouldn't be expected to cover those losses in year 1 and at least not in the beginning. Keating's point totals were 24, 27, 50. Gilmour was 27, 15 (half season), 30, 41. Willms 13, 29, 34.
I doubt rival fans have much sympathy for our offseason plight.
