havent found many stats on him but someone has to have them.From what i've heard is that he is a big strong tough kid that can handle himself which makes zed expendable. Plus Sutter always seems to be getting after zed for dumb thing and also opens a spot for a younger kid to step into the mix.Also never under estimate sutter seems to do well in most trades that he makes. Boy sure have noticed one thing though is that red deer is getting alot bigger and will be tough to play against.

I always thought 2 things about Zet. One, that he would be a steady d-man and two, provide some heavy weight toughness as he got older.

To that end, he had no puck carring skills and as of last year, the only thing he seemed to be able to do consistantly was fire the puck off the glass, normally for a dumb icing call. Secondly, he didn't fit the heavy weight bill either by choice or statue.

Hopefully he can provide leadership and improve his skill level under a different set of circumsances, that is a new team and new coach.

I agree that Zets didn't do a whole lot to make magic happen. With this year forecasting a lot of building for the Rebs, hopefully young Klotz can fit in well. I think this trade could work out well for us.

i agree with one thing on this thread..
that sutter went after him a lot.. yes he did but sutter only does that if he knows that a player has potiential and isnt playing up to it
Zets played his ass off in most games.. doesnt have the greatest puck handleing skill.. but he played with heart and thats Exactly what sutter played with to and thats why he went after him.. The only reason Zets didnt get noticed is because fans go to watch the big times such as Neufy,.. and you miss out on players like Zets.. he played with pure heart! I do think that moose jaw will be a great place for him all the red deer players that went ther have done great.. so i hope him all the best..
I really am not trying to be rude so please dont take offense i just hate to see a kid like zets get put down.. or talked about that way.. when people are just so used to seeing Dion that they compare him to his ability which isnt fair..
Just my opinion

I have to somewhat disagree. I dont think Zets was that bad. Granted he was no Gordie Howe, but just the same, I think his demise on this team was more attributed to the pace that Lamereux and Flatters progressed more than his own play.

Zets was brought to this team to be a stay at home, steady defenceman that can also play very physical and drop the gloves if needed. Both Flatters and Lamereux showed the ability to do this last year, and if you give them both another year to put on weight and size, they both will be that much better, and either of them would be on par or better than Jessie as far as skill goes.

That situation made Zets expendable, and also opens a position on Defence for one of our younger up and comming defencemen, to get them developing for our '07 cup run.

i do agree with you on the whole Flatters thing
but pierre.. i think has NO skill what so ever.. he has size yes he is a monster..but fights like a fricken girl.. and cant skate backwards if his life depeneded on it and his puck handleing skills are terrible.. I think he does absolutly nothing for the team.. but take up space.. I am sorry if anyone here has a liking to pierre.. but my personal opinion..
but i do respect yours totally

I had high hopes for Zetariuk. Every once in a while he would show flashes of brilliance that made me think he was going to break out and be something special. But time was against him and with the team that we're developing right now, it only made sense to move him for someone younger.

As for Lamoureux, I have to totally disagree with Courtney. He's not flashy, but he gets the job done and then some. With Phaneuf gone, look for him to play a bigger role and become a fan favourite.

let's add to the fact the last was P.P's first year as well..not many people gain a wide eye in their first year.

First post in a long time.

Not surprised whatsoever that Zetariuk was shipped out. Even less surprised that his destination is Moose Jaw. Do we trade with anyone else? ;)
He became entirely expendable given the rise of Flatters and Lamoureux.

Have to say that I totally disagree with Courtney's assessment of Lamoureux too. He was very good in his first year as a Rebel, was steady and dependable. Look for a vastly increased role with the team now.

I'm with DA and 66 on the Lamereux assesment. He reminds me of a young Brice Thoma. Steady, Defencively minded. He will be one of those defencemen that you will VERY rarely catch out of position. He will be a huge asset this season especially with the removal of the Red line for offside passes. Look for him to be a key player in our next few seasons.

lamoureaux was one of the most improved rebels last year. early in the season he really struggled with moving the puck well and often made mistakes. he had a stint at forward and that really seemed to help him build confidence as well as got his feet moving...he also got a lot more aggressive at that point. from then on he was much better than flatters. i see him this year playing on the second defence pairing with kurceba and i think his role will increase as the season goes on. i really like his toughness too.

I sort of agree with the Thoma comparison, but I think there's more to Lamoureux. Did you see how he played when they had him at forward towards the end of last season? The guy has the makings of a little fireplug. If he plays that that back on D, he's going to be a *very* fun player to watch.

Thats true D.A. Kind of a Brice Thoma with a sprinkle of Teddy Vandermeer :thumb: He will be very fun to watch.

Lamoureux may not score a lot but he can turn into a great stay at home D man. Like the rest of you said, another Bryce Thoma.

Also Zetariuk was expenable in 06-07 he would'v ebeen a 20 yr old but so will Vandermeer, Walker and Leslie and those 3 would merrit spot over Zetariuk.

:wave: Oh ....sad to see J.Z. go but...this year will be so different and new and exciting things are in store. I didn't think Jess had a banner year last season either, I agree that he was a nice guy off the ice, was nice to the kids and such... but unfortunately he was expendable!!
I don't know if I'm as excited about P.P. Lamoureaux and you all seem to be, but time will tell, I do like his enthusiasm*, no one can argue that about him.
I do hope his brother is at camp tomorrow, interested to see him... also lots more interesting guys to watch for.... can't wait...
But that being said....this summer has totally sucked weather wise, and I'm sad that it's coming to an end... only one thing to look forward to.....
HOCKEY :bounce: :groovy:
