So how far does everyone think we are off from a Memorial Cup contender i say 2 more elite forwards and 1 d-man as it stands now our opening night roster would look a little something like this
Nicholls Sutter Stransky
McColgan Walker Stovin
Astles Benson Zajac
Graham McEvoy Revel
Stockl Hickmott ??
Siemens Thrower
Deitz Cox
Schmidt Pufahl
Lernout Stipancik ??
Makarov
Moodie
of the 4 WHL teams to win as host only one went in the front door as league champs 04 Blazers .Por Kel Van back door winners but still winners . there has to be a way to get the top 4 teams in . only league (CHL) where a loser can win the big prize

A questions for Blades fans should be; would you rather win the WHL Championship or win the Memorial Cup through the back door after losing early in the WHL playoffs?
I think many fans are of the opinion that the WHL Championship is the main prize coming up! The Blades, as the roster stands now, are a top 5 squad. If they wish to become a favourite, they will need just a bit more. Not as much as some fans on this site seem to think though!
I think as a fan and or as an owner even the Mem Cup win would be more gratifying as people always remember the memorial cup champions not the league champions.
But I think as a player they would rather win the WHL championship. To be the top team in the league takes alot more than a tournament.
For some reason i called us getting McColgan awhile back but didn't guess astels and Olsen in the deal lol
Now i will make another guess I say we pick up Sylvester from the Hitmen who is a 20 and we trade back Cox with something else
Breaking news Matt Revel chooses to play for the Chiliwack Cheifs this season and not the Blades

This should open the door more for Graham Stockl and a few others
