As I see it right now it looks like this...
McArdle(19) Holzapfel(18) Rapac(19)? If he has the skill level.
Smith(18) Wray(18) Herman(19)
Gillen(20) Bast(17) McKenzie(19)
Robinson(18) Prokop(16) Grecica(16)
*Labreche(16)-- He is going to push for a spot for sure. He has skill and smarts.
** One of the following could make the team as well. Maybe 2.
Hull(17), Nyren(17), Haag(17) one of these 3 should be close to a spot as well. Early to tell but I liked the seasons they had. Have to see who comes prepared. Could see either McKenzie/Gillen or both moved for one higher end forward. Maybe a 20 year old. If one of these 3 above are worthy of a spot at all.
Simpson(20) Grundling (19)
Zetariuk(20) Erhardt(17)
Chapman(19) Frere(18)
Sutter(18)Stanton(17)/Suer(16)/Hamonic(16) will battle for the last spot.
That is a great position to be in. If the younger dmen prove they can play and play well we could be in a position to move an old dman for a forward and allow the younger dmen to develop more.
At seasons end we look to lose Grundling, Simpson, Zetariuk, Gillen and McArdle for sure. Would be nice to move some of the older dmen. Have an abundance in that area. We could move one of the 20's and look for a centerman for the top line and move Holzapfel down with Wray and Smith on the second line. Simpson and Gillen for 19/20 year old center would be a nice addition to the team.
Perricone(19)-with Leslie gone he is the number one man.
Jebson(17)-froht runner going into camp to back up.
Karambelas, Willow are both 17 and 16. Kaczmar is going to be a 19 year old. Depending on how he plays he could make some noise.
Lots of real tough decisions in camp this season. I believe this is the deepest pool of young talent the Warriors have ever had to look at. What does that spell? A very bright future.
