The time to start thinking about next season's Pats will soon be upon us. The Pats would have a surplus of 2006 20 year olds (K Ross, G Festerling, J Fuder, K Deck would likly compete for the 3 spots) the odd man out might get picked up - but you might as well give one spot to Deck.
Also they would lose our 2 Euro's - Parker is going to very hard pressed to replace Kalus and Tolpeko. He may have go back to picking names out of the Prague phone book; given the Pats improvement this year and the resulting lower draft picks in 2006. The other thing is the expansion by Chilliwack ans expansion draft - the Pats can only protect 15-16 players - the Pats will lose someone through that process - who do they protect. Only players 17-20 year-olds will be affected by this process. So the question is who do they protect - here is my list as of today:
2 Goalies + (3)Deck + (4)Reinhart + (5)Schira + (6)MacDermott + (7)Kalus (just in case) + (8)McDonald + (9)Festerling + (10)Fuder + (11)Duval + (12)Bernhardt + (13)K. Ross + (14)Pyett +(15)Senseman? +(16)MacDermott?
