[PJ-34]

I doubt Berg will make the team, he hasn't done very well this pre-season. Klotz will not be playing for the Blades this year and there's probably a 60% chance that Gillies will.

[bladesruke]

Thats why i put Klotz with 4 * i know he wont be back, and from every source i have heard Gillies wont be back the Wild are gonna give him every shot to make the team..... As for Mitch Berg i say he will make the team, his skating has improved in a big way from last season, he will most likely be used as a 7th d-man, so expect spot starts from him.

[bladesruke]

As for a new team captain ,,,im not sure who they will go with my guess would be Hulak with the asistants going to Zahn,Joe and Klassen.

[hockeytalk]

I think you might see Toomey where a letter, just a guess.

[Trav]

Niziol looked more impressive then Wintoneak did. No disrespect to them but I just don't see any trade value for them if Molleken is keeping them on just so he try and trade them.

[Trav]

the captain will either be Zahn or Toomey, just a hunch although Hulak could be as wel, either way the three of them will have letters and the forth maybe going to Klassen or Langkow.

[CuJoTheMan31]

The Blades played awsome against the Raiders with out Gillies but if he did come back that would be a huge bonus!

We have a solid defense and do believe Zahn should get the "C".
i dont believe Berg will get that much playing time this year... sure he skating is alot better but he still can't really shot... but i have not paid very much attention to his passing so i guess we will see...

Wintoneak was a ghost last game... Every one stepped up last game except him...

The new roster loooks really promising and we still have room for 1 more 20 year old.

[howley]

I'm calling Zahn to get the C.

I will go out on a big unstable limb and say Funk would get consideration.

[hockeytalk]

I agree with you that Funk might wear the C! However it will likely be with some team in the MJHL because I just don't think you give the "C" to a 5th or 6th defenceman on your team.

My guess for El Capitano will be da da da da.................COLTON GILLIES!!!
