They looked good at the Red's camp though so Rumble and Shannon would have seen them.

I heard that the Klima twins are signed and have made the team. So what does the updated line up look like? I think they make the team but from seeing their NAHL and OHL stats and based in what London fans said about them last year I don't think they are going to be top 6 forwards but we'll see in camp. Right now I think the roster shakes out to something like Garland - Askew - Weiderer Smith - unknown - Johnson - I'm not sure who they would have play center here, I guess it depends on how guys have developed and if they are competent as centres. Maybe they switch in a guy who was a winger last year but can play center like Askew will likely do. Leger - Murphy - Bower Cormier - Jacob - Tibbo/Klima/Klima/Corson I think the bottom spots will be a fight with someone like MacEwen maybe making the team and depending if Crossman or O'Leary come to a deal with the Cats. Sweeney/Johnston - Malatesta Holwell - Glassl Klebanskyj - Tesink Washer With Sweeney being in invited to Devils camp he may not be back and may be traded if he is. Fortin No idea, likely one of Janzen, Dupre or Talbot-Tassi

Sweeney Malatesta Johnston Holwell Washer Klebansjky Tesink Glassl
* I think we'll acquire an overage goaltender or forward which will end Johnston's tenure.
Goaltending is up in the air. I thought Jurusik was an excellent solution , so was very disappointed to hear him commit to the US route.

Plus their play when they were with London in the OHL. But your point is fair.

Any concerns about hitting or backchecking when we are talking about a couple of guys named Klima. They looked good at the Red's camp though so Rumble and Shannon would have seen them. That would be the equivalent to signing somebody based on seeing them in street clothes. Those camps are mainly conditionning, nobody hits or backchecks too hard.

I may be wrong BUT by Christmas I see the line-up for forwards as: Garland-Wiederer-Johnson Klima-Klima-Askew Smith-Cormier-Leger Murphy-Corson-Cyr-Crossman-MacEwan-Jacob Unless one or more of the high-end U.S. forwards agree to join team.

Most here have the Klima twins not only making this team but bumping a few down in the roster. Just going by their last yrs stats(realizing stats do not tell the whole story)wondering what these opinons might be based on. Just curious.

Another American off to the NCAA. RJ Murphy to Harvard.

Another American off to the NCAA. RJ Murphy to Harvard. Not saying he will report, but "NCAA" guys will usually commit to an NCAA institution even if they are considering playing in the CHL. So far, there have been no indications that Murphy is considering the Wildcats though...

No offense to the Wildcats or the QMJHL, but in my opinion unless you plan on being a one and done player in the NCAA, it would be absolutely idiotic to choose to play major junior over getting a Harvard education.

I agree which is why I found it odd that Fred Foulem bailed on his commitment to Harvard and joined the Cataractes this summer.

I agree which is why I found it odd that Fred Foulem bailed on his commitment to Harvard and joined the Cataractes this summer. That raises a question ... when a guy commits to an NCAA school, does that mean that he has made the team ? I would suggest that it doesn't. NCAA schools recruit just like anybody else and will have a stable of committed players to select a team from. I doubt they have a 50 man protected list, but having 30 or so players is probably the norm. But that leaves certain guys on the outside, and I expect that if they don't make the team after a year or two then they lose their scholarship, and new recruits come along and bump you out. For goaltenders, that must be even more difficult as there are only 2 spots per year, with perhaps one extra spot for a 3rd stringer. But the 3rd stringer will only play if #1 and #2 play poorly or suffer injury. Being a 3rd stringer does nothing to get you noticed by scouts. It would depend on the ages of #1 and #2 if #3 would ever become a full roster player. I'm just speculating and have no idea on how it works. That isn't a whole lot different that the CHL. We have 55 man lists (+ special lists) and keep 22-24 as a roster, and sub in a handful of others through the year due to injury or promotion, or tryout. Some of those guys on our lists never play a game. However, many on the list do get to play some, and with a 68 game regular season, plus pre-season, plus playoffs, plus Mem Cup, a player could play 100+ games in a season. Lots of opportunity to get into games to get your chance. I'll always tell a kid to take the education root if it is being offered to him ... but is that risk there that you could lose that scholarship if you aren't making headway into the lineup ? Could you lose your scholarship because a better crop of 4th liners comes along the following year ?

Ivy League schools like Harvard likely won't make exceptions with a B+ student just because they're committed to the school's hockey team.
