You have 4 20's at the start and finish with 1 20? That makes a lot of sense. Also, get it out of your head, NO SNIDERMAN. That just wouldn't make ANY sense.

Go to bed its past your bed time. Anyway I thought you weren't talking to me.

1 20 sits per game or God forbid if Sniderman doesn't have a bigger plan, Morehouse gets traded or possibly Mangan. That would fix my two centers on 1 line problem.

If you keep four 20 yo's.... Sniderman can't sit, because you'd need him dressed to backup Riopel. There's no way Marquardt sits, that's a good way to have Columbus send him the the ECHL if he isn't going to play here. That would leave Morehouse and Mangan, and Morehouse is likely to be team captain....would you sit your captain?

I don't think that is going to work.

[Dalkiel]

I really can't see Brenton making this team the way things are looking and I also don't see Brown as a 16 yr old. Brenton doesn't have the touch that he should have in his role and Brown hasn't really shown much this rookie camp at all, especially last night when they took him off the Mcausland/Watson.

Brown will be on the team ... guaranteed.

I am not going to offer a prediction on the final roster yet, needless to say the coaches are going to have to make some difficult and controversial choices in the next few weeks.

I'm keeping Sniderman in my "Fantasy" rooster because

1. I like what he did over the last two years. He was a bigger part of the overachieving last year than anyone else. He's got as much heart obviously as Morehouse. He even won some fights last year! But I think he's Euro bound. So just pencil in Bolduc for now if that solves the problem.

2. I'm not as big of fan of any of the other twenties as you all are. I haven't fallen in love with them and want them win or lose. We need stronger 17's for this year for next rather then struggling 19s and 20s. My plan get benefit of the 20 for leadership now but transforms the team as it goes. At the end of last year there was a lot of struggle. Keeping the team exactly the same guarantees it continues. We have this opportunity to load up with a lot of talent I say go for it.

I did say I was playing I could be wrong who knows?

Here's my opinion as to what the final roster should be as of right now.

Goalies
-Riopel(18)*
-Babiak(18) OR Bolduc(18)**

*Even if Riopel shits the bed in the preseason, they wont keep Sniderman. Riopel is starting no matter what and Sniderman wont be there.
**I think these two will get out of the rookie camp and they'll duke it out in the exhibitions. So far, I have a little preference for Babiak, but Bolduc really is not far behind.

Defensemen
-Barberio(17)
-Pianosi (17)
-Baca(18)
-Dimitruk(17)*
-Goyens(19)
-Tolles(19)
-Gomes(19)
-Little(18)**

*If he decides to stay.
** If Dimitruk doesn't stay.

Forwards
-Marquardt(20)
-Mangan(20)* OR Lincourt(20)*
-Morehouse(20)
-Eagles(19)**
-Labelle(18)
-Cameron(18)
-Brannon(18)
-Lessard(18)
-Bezak(18)
-MacLellan(19)
-Sill(19)
-Brown(16)***
-MacAusland(16)
-Lamoureux(18)
-Watson(18)

*It wouldn't surprise me to see either one get traded. I believe we would be better off keeping Lincourt and trading Magnan, seeing how strongly Lincourt finished the season and the playoffs. Also, Magnan might have better trade value, as he hasn't been traded around like Lincourt has.
**I wouldn't surprise me to see him traded, specially around Christmas. Perfect player to add scoring depth on a contending team.
***I haven't been very impressed with his rookie camp so far, but Flynn said in the Acadie Nouvelle that he was in Moncton to stay and play.

As you can see, I have 15 forwards lined up. My feeling is that at least one is going to get traded, and it will probably be Eagles. Lepage and Brenton will probably be traded too for picks. If one of those players need to be cut, I see it being between Watson and Lamoureux, with Watson's spot to lose.

I have been more impressed with Little then Gomes plus he is a year younger. He plays the body well and seems like he has some upside, just my opinion.

Pens it about time for you to us your picks I am thinking.

[sharrow]

Whats going on with Brown $ 265,000 and nobodys impressed with his rookie camp and the veterans aren't there yet ? Could it be another Fournier situation, ??

[Optimus Reim]

I actually like Wilson more than Gomes or Little. He doesn't have the size but he looks better with the puck IMO. I also like Blain. I am really interested in seeing what he can do against better competition. Brown looked good last night and again today and Brousseau I know was a "political pick" but he should not be going to the next camp. Just seemed out of place most times.

He looked good today in the 3 on the 3... Not sure if that's worth anything though..

[buckybuckbuck]

I'll tell you what's unimpressive, Halifax's run for the Cup Hahahahahahahahaaaaa

Well if you had been at more games than one, maybe you could have seen that Gomes is actually a litle better than Little.
