The Rebel Report (unlike the one that repeats everything we already know)
Goal
Festa; A-, came into the season being counted on to provide 30 games or less and tutor Peeters. As season wore on played as #1 and provided maturity in the dressing room.
Leslie; A+, a good trade for the Rebels and him as he came in and played pretty good and earned the #1 tag. Will be an asset next year with Reimer.
Defense
#2 Flatters, C – a learning season and he was inconsistent. That said, next year will be a year where his play will put him in the top 6…..maybe.
#3 Phaneuf, A – played a year he shouldn’t have and added much needed help. Undoubtedly our best d man if not player.
#4 Kurceba, B+ - as season went on he became more of a player. Solid within the system.
#5 Lamoureux. B – once his skating improved, so did his play. Good heart and soul guy as he plays with balls.
#6 Kuukka, B – should have been better and should be better next year.
#7 Moore, B – not the d man we needed and could be the enforcer if his play picks up.
#8 Frere, C – as a rookie he played sparingly and the upside is in next years play.
#27 Zetariuk, C- - as a returning d man, he should have had a better year. Vision of ice needs improvement and role may be reduced to that of an enforcer next year.
Forwards
#9 Johnson, C – so-so year. Didn’t provide the scoring we needed and will be in tough to hold on to a over age spot.
#10 Rome, C+ - provided some leadership and scoring. Expect him to win an overage spot next year.
#11 Fraser, A – provided scoring, leadership and some toughness
#12 Sutter, C- – as a late call up played well and the future looks good for next year. Hasn’t and won’t provide much scoring this year or be a factor.
#14 Knackstedt, C – didn’t live up to early season projections and hype
#15 Walker, B – expected more and play was suspect
#17 Lilley, B+ - played as expected, needs work, but he will get better
#18 Pieper, B – will most likely be the run and gun guy next year but his play some nights costs the Rebs.
#19 Vandermeer, B+ - injured most of the year, he tried to play rough but his body said no. Needs to play within his size and skill.
#20 Morris, A- - came in and did the job, some nights a little lazy.
#22 Gillies, B – rough around the edges, good 3rd line guy and upside is size.
#23 Henituik, B- - didn’t provide as much as he could have or should have.
#25 Kline, C- - for his size, he needs to play more aggressive, has good hands.
#26 Wick, A+ - first time in awhile that we’ve had a rookie scoring leader. If he comes back next year, he will be fun to watch.
#29 Neiszner, B+ - typical team guy who provided occasional scoring.
