nhl Go Tigers Go
that each team can protect 16 players off their 50 player list (no 15 or 16 year olds can be picked) I think the following will be protected:
G Holfeld
D Schlemko
Glass
Bendfeld
Brown
F Ennis
Bosch
Swystun
Undershute
Lowry
Wasden
Grant
J. Sauer
Hickmott
Gron
Neigum or Cameron
Any other ideas or players I missed?
Koper and Van De Mosselaar (not sure of the spelling!)
Heres my idea of how the Pats protected list might look like........
Only goaltender we will protect will be.....
Linden Rowat
Our Defence to be protected
Logan Pyett
Nick Ross
Craig Schira
Colten Teubert
Matt Delahey
Our forwards to be protected
Garret Festerling
Jordan Eberle
Brett Leffler
Troy Ofunkany
Kirt Hill
Mike Reich
Michael MacAngus
Levi Lind
Josh Elder
And for the 16th player to be protected it is kind of a toss up i think im not sure as to the other players who might be on our protected list who arnt on the team at this point and there ages but I am guessing there might be 1 player the Pats might have on there that will get protected and if there isnt then i think the 16th could be between Jared Jagow, Tommy Tartaglione and Kaspars Saulietis (not sure about Kaspars as a 20 yr old European i think the Pats might start from scratch with the europeans if he isnt protected, cuz i see no point in protecting a player like Niko Snellmen as he plays a North American style and doesnt have good hands which is a norm for euro's)
this is just my look at who might/should be protected anyways...If Edmonton wants a goalie with no style but yet exciting in the crease id say take Tartaglione, cuz the Pats have a couple young prospects between the pipes for the back-up role behind Rowat nexted year
I think these players could be available
G - Kurt Jory
D- Ryan Stanton
D- Jock Sutter
D-Mike Hengen
F-K Voytechek
Ha Ha imagine Voytechek starting 2 seasons in a row with expansion teams. It would be funny if he scores Edmontons first goal as wellOriginally Posted by mjwfan
Festerling? They are going to protect a graduated player? I know Parker can be a bit whacko, but I hope he has more sense than that!Originally Posted by patsdude114
