Who makes the team> and why?

[freeboy]

ok Skille looks like a call up at best...
I think Redmond, Winchester, Rendulic all stay after the b and w game showing
I will add I like

Rat i man to stay.. young but great talant ( there is an Ant-man joke here I know it)
All the guys taken in the trades re Zad,Grig and Gromley stay...

Who leaves?....Bordello Cliche Guinin is my hope

Not sure what the thinking is on Bleakley... I think at least send him to SA to skate with men....

 

[tigervixxxen]

I dont think they can send Bleackley to SA. He'll probably be cut after tomorrow's game and that's ok. He's got a team to captain.

 

[Matheus]

my favourite team to start the season

Comeau Duch Iggy
Landy Soda Mack
Tangs Grigs Rantanen
Mcleod Mitchel Evenberg

EJ Beauch
Barrie Zadorov
Gormley Stuart
Holden

Varly
Picks

re-sign EJ 6 to 7 years
re-sign Mack 8 years
Try trade one of Stuart, Redmont Gennin

 

[Matheus]

ps: Bleackley would be a great surprise but i don't believe he make the team

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I agree. If I have to make a guess for surprise, Rantanen. Cormley and RAntanen makes the team. RAntanen as third liner and Cormley as #7 defenseman.

 

[hughdreamz]

Rantanen makes the team. I see Skille getting a contract. When injuries strike I'd be happy having him join the squad. His play may be limited to most nights being a scratch, but I think he's proving he's worth keeping. I also want to see Everberg on the team. Then for defense I think Gormley will be in the 3rd pairing over Holden. Damn I want us to just buy out Stuart. Such a waste.

Rantanen - Duchene - Iginla
Landy - Soderberg - Mack
Tangs - Grigs - Comeu
McLeod - Mitchell - Everberg
*Winchester, Bords, Skille

Beauch - EJ
Zads - Barrie
Gormley - Stuart
*Holden

im not at all clear on why Bleakley cannot go play with the men in SA?

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

CHL rules. They have to stay there for 2 years, or something like that. If they are not in the nhl of course.

 

[tigervixxxen]

If you are not 20 or have played 4 years in the CHL you have to stay in the NHL or go back to junior. He probably could play pro down there but he's got a great opportunity to have a big year in junior, I think it's good for him anyway.

Just to clarify...
You can be 19 as long as you turn 20 before Dec 15th IIRC.

Even if he could he's captain of the host team for the memorial cup. I think unless he absolutely battles his way on to the avs roster you send him back to Red Deer

 

[agentblack]

Is it possible he could make Team Canada? Was he even invited last year?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Its possible, he was at the camp over the summer and played well. I just think there are too many hyped prospects ahead of him but he's the perfect guy to play that 4th line defensive center role so if the coach really sees him as a guy who can fit that then he has a chance. If not, Canada can find 12 sexier forward prospects than him. Depends on his season too, if he starts hot he could easily have 20 goals by December, which might give him some hype. He's pretty much in the Duchene team Canada position here IMO.

Outside of Winchester aren't we almost totally healthy right now?

 

[freeboy]

well, I think its day to day with EVB and Rendulik still wearing a cage to hide the broken or damaged puck to face injury.. and my really bi concern is Iggy.... but he played last night for the first time ..
I dont see Glenx making it after looking so slow last night...
Cut him, sit either skillet or McL and start either EVB or Rendulik.
OR
since we open against a bigger team maybe keep McL and sit ???

When I wrote that I had not seen the game against Ducks... so I did not know status of
Iggy
Everburg
Rendulick
Skillet
and Macking coming off ltir last season...

Well, I apologise
Butchering names is my strength though so, perhaps you must grin and bear it?
