Moose could always release Peters and bring in Davenport to help out Yetman until X-mas or Pelletier comes.

No doubt Yetman is better but Davenport is better than Kennedy and if Peters is gone when Pelletier arrives it's not a big stretch to let him go now. The biggest problem is Daveneport would probably not be interested in the situation I describe. |

Aren't 20s released if they are cut. I assumed we could get him for free since the Eagles cut him today. |

Kennedy has had more chances than anybody to prove his game, and hes reached his potential two years ago. If Patenaude waits till Christmas that will be the biggest mistake he's made since holding onto Carnegie.

I hate to be negative; Because this team has so much potentiel. We need a top notch goalie. Two 19 years old goalies is a bad scenario, for a team to have good continuity, it's good to have your two goalies to be 2 year apart. If we land this 20 year old from Drummondville, we should try also to get a good 18 year old; unless they plan on having Yetman as a 20 year old next year.

You hate to be negative but made the post anyways eh?
Yetman appeared to play well last night and after showing loyalty and commitment to this team for the last two years of being sent to the minors, give him a break and let him show what he can do for this team for the year.

Don't get me wrong, I like Yetman a lot; but Kennedy has to go...I would rather see one of our young recruit play twenty games...

No This is not House league hockey. Either you can preform at this level or not, Quit blaming the Mooseheads for lack of development of the tenders and start blaming the scouting staff for drafting stiffs and the players for not developing themselves. Kennedy has not improved at all in three years Yetman may be a serviceable backup this year but he can't take this team to Kitchener in May |

Where in that post did I say anything about Mooseheads mgmt not developing their tenders but now since you brought it up, let's look at that.
Yetman should have been given the opportunity at the start of last year and he is playing well enough now to have them still give him the opportunity.
As someone said, the grass is always greener on the other side - or that is until we give it a try and realize that what we had was fine enough.

If Kennedy has not played well in 3 years ... why do the Mooseheads stick with him ? The only ones to blame are the Mooseheads who seem to be too pigheaded to cut the kid loose and move in a different direction. It makes no sense at all to start the season with two 19 YO goaltenders ... likley neither will be back next year so you'll be in the situation of having to find another goaltender. Kennedy and Yetman should be competing for the #1 job in camp ... the loser (insert Kennedy's name here) gets cut ... and you keep a younger goaltender to begin grooming him for the future. It is entirely the fault of the Mooseheads and none of the blame should fall on Kennedy. He has shown you time and time again how good he is ... not good enough for the Q ... yet the Mooseheads continue to utilize him in the Q. How is that Kennedy's fault ? Its like taking one of your excess forwards and having him play goal some night ... and then crapping on him because he sucked.  You knew he would suck ... just like everybody knows that Kennedy will suck. |

I just reread the little blurb you cut and pasted in the box that statsguy said and it now makes sense that this guy is nothing short of a clown. HTF does a player develop himself at this level?  My God, he relys on being given the opportunity to play with the team that drafted him and since that is not his call, it is upto the team to ensure that the players they drafted are being developed. Other than a player showing up to camp in shape, they need to play at this level to develop to this level and that is where the Mooseheads come into the picture. |
