so they cut the local kid, without any real chance, for a same age smaller winger....... why not try newell on the wing ?

maybe we should wait and see how this turns out. newell isn't a forward this kid is. hockey is a business and sometimes good players are let go and cut.I guess will see if this works out and if some injuries or trades happen maybe newell will be back. im sure he is happy going to dauphin to win a championship and play some hockey also heard there making some good money playing there. we have enough dmen on the roster if we needed a forward for a game or two we have that
