I am thinking that the 2010 - 11 season will be the season that potentially could see a solidfying of the existing talent and an exodus of marginal players. Which means that PA will also see a significant number of new faces next season.
The obvious goodbyes will be to this year's 20 year olds, McCallum, Cameron and Zemlak.
Hickemott, a 20 yo next season is a big maybe, depending on what Revenko decides to do.
Reddin, Wall and Warg will all be 20 yo next season and will be playing somewhere else, Bruno will shop around and see if he can get anything for them. Rowley, Deck and Revenko or Hickmott are locks for the 20 year old slots.
Kochan, Herle & Taylor did not have good seasons and will be gone if Bruno is serious about putting together a winning team for the short term and long term. And I believe he is very serious.
So on defense we will have two new faces for sure. Wasylenko & or Sutton have a decent shot of being # 7 & 8 d-men, depending on how they develop over the summer, both have size and Wasylenko has a nasty streak.
Up front there will be a minimum of 4 new faces and possibly as many as 7, depending on how thoroughly Bruno cleans house. Potential new faces up front are Winther, MacKenzie, Balson, Basara, Stewart and Danyluk, a nice mix of size, speed, grit and skill.
