hehe I loved Zboril the short time he was here ... he was like a mini tank and would hit everything in his sights and when guys hit him they would pinball off of him ... not saying he is the guy for Moncton but man he was fun to watch ... Yeah I remember him. He was very small but also very skilled. I'm not sure why he didn't get a better chance in Bathurst.

I may be completely wrong here but if memory is correct I think it was because of, or partly because of the fact that they also had Zdrahal (or however you spell it) as their other Euro and he put up much better numbers than Zboril. Basically made Zboril their "second best Euro" and likely felt letting him go wasn't that big a deal and they might be able to get better than him from a new guy.

yeah then for some strange reason we traded Zdrahal shortly after that and had none since Popov that has been decent

So with Lukezic getting sent back to Ontario the Cats now have 6 D. Do we see a guy like Tesink getting a few callup games here and there? The 6 we have is steady, if no one gets injured its fine. Not sure who else would be available for immediate callups, Alex Mann would be one I think

Not sure who else would be available for immediate callups, Alex Mann would be one I think Jeremy Doucet. Likely a big reason that Lukezic was released is that they have Mann and Doucet right here in town. Obviously Tesink isn't far away either.

If two guys go down at once and those teams have games, plus the AP games can add up pretty quick...if Duquette was still around he could play a few games back there I guess...

They didn't mention Doucet as a possible call up in the paper, but Michael Poirier instead. He's also with the Commandos so either way that's still three guys in close proximity. It would get questionable if there were multiple injuries, but we'll just hope that doesn't happen.
Also today they mentioned Burke and Johnson will be the captains for the remainder of the season, alternating between home and away. I'm always a bit wary about naming a new guy as captain as that hasn't tended to work out in the past, but I think Burke is an exception. No doubt that Johnson will be the full-time captain next season.

Looks like Lukezic has landed in the OHL with Ottawa:
The #67s have added free-agent defenceman Brandon Lukezic. The 18-year-old Lukezic played 18 games this season for the @monctonwildcats.
