i dont see the Pats making any big moves....but another Defenceman couldnt hurt we have alot of offensive talent and with Kalus and Tolpeko coming back in jan (Kalus prob this weekend and Tolpeko towards the middle to the end of jan) with the raising of Bernhardt (15 goals) Duval (4g 7a for 11pts in his past 9games) Robinson (16 goals) and some strudy play all season by K.Ross (10g 15a for 25 pts) and Festerling (11g 19a for 30pts) then go and insert Kalus (21g) and Tolpeko (28 pts in 21games) we then should have a strong offence.......and lets not forget about Deck (2g 25a for 27pts) our defence isnt that bad at all very strong for having a avg age of 17.5 yrs of age...to be honest our goaltending hasnt been there lately for us
if u ask me though i dont have a clue who else i would trade.... Reinhart isnt there to be offensive him and Fauth are our most physical players on the back end (who can actually stand up for themselfs or others) personally i think if we could get a decent Defencemen that is 18 i would trade Schira sure he is a very good 17 yr old but u gotta trade something to get something
this is just my opinions on our team u can pretty much guarantee that we will get at least 1 more injury this season (its part of the game) so to have a little more depth especially on the back end will not hurt us at all just improve us as a team....
1 thing i do see happening though is the Pats sending J.MacDonald down to AAA hockey, with R.McDonald playing so well how can u send him back down to the SJHL plus he has helped really improve Duval's play since he came back to the team........
would love to see other peoples opinions on what i had to say im not saying im right or wrong about anything i said here just love to hear someone elses imput on what i said plus hear there own side of what they think would help us as a team for this yr and yrs to come...
