Brent has decided not to return to the Devils and instead will concentrate his efforts on being the hands-on GM of the Rebels, Bravo !! I think this was the news that a lot of Rebels fans were waiting to hear and I believe it will positively impact the team for the 09-10 season.

Might be able to land some good prospects that might have thought bout the college route.

Either way they shouldnt be and wont be any worse then they were last season. It was one of their worst years and ever since Brent went to New Jersey, that team has taked a nose dive. Brent Sutter is made for junior and it has clearly shown with the Rebels and the Canadian Junior Team. Look for Ferraro & Nugent-Hopkins to be one of the best 1-2 combos in the league this year...

well in all honesty he never said that from what i read. Part of me still has a feeling he may end up in Calgary, which in itself, being so close, is a boost. But yes i dont recall reading in the paper that he will now be the "hands on GM".

I dont recall him saying he will be the "hands on GM" either actually. However, I do recall very well him saying he would be more than happy to just work on his family farm all next season if so be it. And obviously if thats the case, he'll be able to put forth more work into the Rebels. At the same time if hes not coaching anywhere next season I think you'll see him alot more often than not in Carolina watching his son Brandon. At some point he will end up in Calgary i think, but i dont think you'll hear much about Brent Sutter in the NHL next season.

Well, I don't know whether to be happy that as least Brent is in Alberta, or sad, that he is going to coach the Flames !! Got to believe the Canucks can still take them come next spring. Hopefully with Brent "close" the Rebels can pick up the pace and make the playoffs !!vc124

No kidding!! On a different note, I noticed your page says "Bentley Generals". Former Brandon Wheat King Brett Thurston was a member of that squad I believe.

Shown in the WJ team maybe but the REbels were in a nose dive long before Mr. Sutter left for New Jersey. Anywhere on the internet, the Rebels are being described as a 'bottom feeder' team. You don't get that name unless you sit in the basement for a long time. The Rebels do seriously need some help but like you said, there are some very good players in the line up for this season and hopefully Jesse can work some magic.

they had a high quality team in 2006-2007 after a year where they barely missed the playoffs. this following 5 years of high calibre teams. The team was very poor 2 years ago and because of that, had to make changes last year, and it turned out to be good hockey most nights. next year is very promising. After all those years where rebel fans were treated to amazing hockey, there is the natural regression. Im sure the organization would admit there was one too many years of futility in there, but it looks like things are headed in the right direction.
