    From Paddock's comments on the website it sounds very promising that we will be seeing him at training camp.


    “This is a rarity for the import draft in that our scouts had an opportunity to see Nikolai multiple times throughout the season,” said Regina Pats Head Coach and GM John Paddock. “We know he wants to come play junior hockey in Canada so it made the pick much easier. We look forward to seeing him in Regina for training camp in August.”

    It sounds like Knyzhov will be here in the fall and yes it does create a log jam on our defense which will be pretty deep especially if Williams is back (which I fully expect) but with that said it opens up a trade where we can fill in a weakness. If Schioler does commit and does play with us this season and beyond our defense has never looked bigger or more promising during my entire 30yrs as a fan of the Pats. Throw in Pouteau along with Knyzhov & Schioler our depth in the '98 age group on defense is just as deep if not deeper then the '97 age group on defense. I am a firm believer you can never have enough depth on defense and Paddock is pushing that to its limits.

    First off congrats to Patrick D'Amico on invite to NY Islanders prospect camp.
    Like this pick as Paddock reports he wants to play Jr. hockey in Canada, Has size and is only 17 and played two years in North America. Does this add to the option of Brown as the #1 tender as the D should be strong, Wapple should fetch a pretty fair return in the trade market. Just thinking out loud!

    Defense is finally a strength within our organization, it has taken some time but it is finally there. Lang & Scouting staff started the process to build it into a strength along with getting bigger in general. Its very interesting to see which way the Pats go in the crease, with Wapple it gives us a clear cut choice as a #1 goalie and I believe with Wapple and our returning roster that we will challenge Brandon for that top spot in the division but I think we will still fall a bit short. I think our defense matches up very nicely against Brandon's offense though.


    I posted this on the Pats Facebook page today....

    I remember when Lang took over as the GM he said we need to get bigger and he has done just that which is now carrying over into Paddock's time as GM.... Lang is responsible for every guy except Hobbs & Knyzhov (I don't think Williams either besides Williams breaking into the league as Lang as GM)

    Williams- 6'0 195
    Hilsendager- 6'1 195
    Zborovskiy- 6'4 198
    Hobbs- 6'1 190
    Knyzhov- 6'2 186
    Pouteau- 6'2 185
    Schioler- 6'3 189 (if he commits)
    Krushen- 6'2 170
    Harrison- 6'1 190

    Absolutely thrilled to see Graham Tuer back with the Pats. He is such a local hockey treasure that seeing him with a Kelowna jacket was just wrong. Allowing him to get away was one of the most foolish things the Parkers ever did. This was something long over due.

    Some Pats news....
    Ex-Regina Pat Pavel Padakin has signed an AHL deal with Philadelphia's farm team
    https://twitter.com/PhilTheThrill18/...00196804100096

    Pats sign 2 prospects...
    Zach Cox & Jared Freadrich- I fully expect Freadrich to be making the Pats this season as I see him ahead of Krushen... A lot will most likely determine what happens with Schoiler though.

    And here is an article incase anyone missed it from the LP on the newly selected Russian defenseman Nikolai Knyzhov

    Well welcome back everyone and a happy 2024! I am glad to see the forum is back up - I have missed it!

    The Pats are officially in a rebuilding cycle with the trades made this week. I have a couple of thoughts:

    1) Was trading Howe off the table to start with - surely we could have got some prospects and draft picks?

    2) What happened to Suzdalev -Somewhere I heard he only played in 13 games in the first half of the AHL season?

    3) Do we have a first round draft pick in the main draft in 2024?
