Well the Pats boss Paddock is likely seeing the short term plan and long term vision moving forward.

Point blank many of the prospects can play in the league no problem either with the Pats or another WHL team. It is a no brainer that the leaders are going to be patient with the young talent.

I think the writing is on the wall and looks like the puzzle is coming together.
I think we will see 1-2 16 year old this year in Pats lineup and others groomed by 30-35 minutes a night with their respective teams.

Roster Possibilities:

Kyle Burroughs, Colby Williams, Chase Harrison, Brady Reagan, Isaac Schacher, James Hilsendager, Sergey Zborovsky and Ryan Krushen. That makes 8 with Carter Hansen and look for a couple of trades in making!~

Forwards fighting for spots:

There are 12 returning forwards including Sam Steel who spent the end of last year with the club but who is LOCKED and OUTSIDE LOOKING in or does NOT just fit the Pats PLAN?

Darcy DeRoose (19)
Luc Smith (16),
Kyle Westeringh (18)
Jared McAmmond (17)
Rykr Cole (17)
Dane Schioler (18)
Colton Kroeker (17)
Jacob Elmer (16)
