Calvert cameback because he was playing for his hometown Wheaties and that they were hosting the Mem cup. He picked loyalty over money.
Sundher would be crazy to comeback thou...lol

Pro hockey takes these kids at way to young of an age now even if they are not elite players, prime example of a player this year is Garrett Mitchell. Going to pro hockey when ur not elite status does not help there development, especially when they have not proved anything at the junior level. The big part of the problem is the young age that the NHL drafts there players at, i hope the NHL gets what they want out of a new CBA & raise the draft age, only hockey drafts 17yr olds out of pro sport which is flat out stupid.

Explains the less than 40% success rate for drafted players .

deadline date?
When is the trade deadline? Jan 10? total guess
Power Forward
You win the Pontiac
Jan. 10 it is......it's the most wonderful time of the year. Armchair GM's as far as the eye can see.
My Wheat Kings might look for a big body on the blueline and we still need an upgrade at 2nd line center.
NEXT!!!!!
General Manager
The only thing that needs to be upgraded with the WKs is between the pipes, u guys have a great hockey team but u never know what ur going to get between the pipes on a nightly basis.
Power Forward
Goalies not the issue...
It's allowing 40+ shots per game thats killing us. If we can cut that down with a more sound defensive approach, I think the rest will take care of itself. Thats why I want a big body defenceman that plays physical, and you guys can have Melnychuk anytime. So glad this is his last possible year.
Rookie
Lethbridge Hurricanes
I would be surprised if Lethbridge made any big trades, and I hope they make me eat my words. They have 5 '92 born players plus Sutter, Braes and Ketlo, they could get some good future assets in return. The coach/GM, for whatever reason always believes they will make the playoffs when in fact hot goaltending has been the reason for recent wins. If that cools they will be right back in a tailspin. They are in an excellent position to make trades but lack of being in touch with reality has been their history.

Is ur GM Brent Parker in disguise?
Power Forward
Lots of Movement
This year there will be more movement than people even realize. Saskatoon most likely will chase alot of high end 18 yr olds to load up for next year. Edmonton and MJ will try to bulk up as this looks like it might be their year to aim high.
As for us, we are not far off the pace. We will make at least one deal, maybe two. But when they happen, we will be in much better shape. We need a deal to help us cut down our shot against per game. If we could average about 25 shots against per game, we'd be in way better shape.
Petrovic would be a huge move, but we need a center for the 2nd line. Vause, Braes, or Sundher would be a definite plus.
