Pats Key for Success 2014-2015-2016

(DEFENCE) - the Pats need to require d-man that can skate are able to play in defensive zone, move pucks tape to tape, remember skate and handle the puck with regroups and are competitors and need 2 of them to be BIG and MEAN to play against! Have too be able to SKATE or they are no fit for the WHL.

(FORWARDS)- Looks like it may be a complete overall with a few of the mechanics or veteran IMPACT players TBA. Some of the super stars may or not be back. There may be some 2014 Bantam DRAFT movement if DEFENCE stock comes available. The Pats staff reported in paper that they like core of team but I call bluff.

(2014 WHL Draft Day)- There will be some serious interest in the Pats 1997 POOL of players that were not selected this past season. Look to see e deals made in near future or trade requests by players.

(1996-1995 Pool)- What is the real plan with this group of players per the strategic development plan moving forward!

(Euro Draft & Prospects)- Build within and build snergy that players will go through the wall for each other! The goalies are NO longer eligible to play and looks like players could be in discussions per World Junior IIF chat and pros and cons per hockey development discussion by Hockey Canada officials. TBA announced but likely a team cost of $25,000 per player plus per season.

(Will Pats be SOLD?) The Saskatoon Blades were sold and has this price tag now set the price or market value etc. for all parties to talk again?

(16 Year Olds) If players are not selected to play on regular basis why have them on squad. If they are not playing they are NOT developing! We know 16 year olds have to dress for 40 games minimum but even if they are dressing and are NOT playing what is the upside.

Did any 16 year olds have the coaches confidence to play in playoffs is the question or point.

(Coaching) will Cameron`s style of coaching be able to handle a team rebuild targeting 2016-2017 along with player progression.

NHL PLAYOFFS approaching soon.
