After reading the article in the paper the other night, I can't help but think that there is something brewing as far as a trade is concerned. Keeping 25 players around this late to me indicates a couple of possibilities......a trade is being worked on, and 2, there is some difficulty settling on a lineup. The competition for spots has been strong, although I feel the skill level seems to be down.
Aside from having 4 overagers to deal with, most teams don't carry 25 players this late because of billetting, school and the likes.
Another topic that is again up for discussion is the fan experience at home games. Is the Westerner going to loosen up a little and let the fans have some fun? Can we ever have the noisiest rink in the Dub? Is changing beer sponsors going to mean they'll move the beer carts off the concourse area?
