If they want to contend, expecting a 16 year old out of prep svhool to play top 6 let alone 1st line is a pretty big stretch. I would e surprised if they cut Bower. I think Cormier or Jacob could benefit from starting the year in Jr.A. Jacob is more of a Major Junior calibre player than Bower. Jacob brings more speed and a higher skill level. As for Cormier, I don't think you can cut him at this point. He is the tough guy now that Halabi and Haas are gone. As for Murphy, he isn't really a typical 16 year old. he is much more physically mature than majority of the players. He looks like a 19 year old out there. Playing top line against top CHL teams is more than being physically mature...he's making a huge jump from prep school at 16. I think they should trade for a top 6 F if they are serious about contending.

Barbashev-Askew-Tkachev Garland-Murphy-Lalonde Seeger-Johnson-Smith Olivier-Corson-Cormier Jacob-Leger Sweeney- Cortese Johnston-Malatesta Holwell-McInnis Klebanskyj Dubeau Rioux Judging from what I've seen, I think Bower will start the season in Junior A. Kind of disappointed with his camp soo far. You won't see McInnis in that mix, as he was one of the cuts made.

Where did he say that Corson has signed? I must have missed that, but I heard it was a strong possibility anyway. Big fan of his game, but much like everyone else I don't think a year in Midget would kill him.
This is solely based on Friday, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Bower end up on the outside looking in. Really wasn't impressed with him at all. Very disappointing.

I think it is likely between Bower and Seeger for the last spot if in fact Corson is signed. I agree that Bower was not noticeable out there on Friday as well.

I wonder if we'll bring Jacob Jacques in ? Just cut from Halifax... He's definitely a defensive guy , would make a good partner for Malatesta or Holwell.

I don't see that Bower should be cut based on rookie games. I think people are putting the cart ahead of the horse.
