Blades taking shape

[Trav]

won't happen...Knoblauch is going somewhere in the CIS.

If ur talking the UofA, according to reports he's not one of the top candidates.

Blades hosting spring camp this weekend.

Anyone else interested in maybe going to watch the on ice stuff? Sounds like the first ice session is going to be tomorrow morning at Shroh. Might be cool to check it out for a bit.

I was hoping to go, but unfortunately I have to work! Any arm chair scouting reports would be greatly appreciated!

Just was saying what some reports have said thats all. I think it's kinda odd he'd go and coach CIS hockey. I guess the money is probably better and closer to family.

what shawinigan did to their roster as hosts.

seven deals involving 12 players and 15 picks.

it was felt the cataractes weak link was their defense. gormley, narbonne, and ellis changed half their defense.

at forward needed a little more, added kabanov.

i think the blades defense is reasonably solid (a bit like shawinigans forwards), would expect molleken to try to add a true power play quarterback.

the forwards are the weak link with not enough punch. i'd watch for molleken to make at least two or three more deals to improve the depth and especially the top six.

the shawinigan example suggests the mccolgan/astles trade is just the beginning.

This post makes a lot of sense. I wish BWK's would have done a lot more and sacrificed the next couple seasons.....But Windsor would have been tough, no matter what.
BWK did ok, went 0 and 2 with Windsor, 1 and 0 with Moncton and 1 and 1 with Cgy, just not structured and skilled enough to live with Windsor
