1. I briefly was, but it's picked up now and he's around where I would have expected - 2nd best center in the league behind Canmore. Didn't expect a repeat of last season so keeping this pace and remaining top/near the top of the S61 draft class will keep me happy this season.
2. Not really but it's more fun this way. Ideally, contenders should roll out 10 players + goalie, obviously our cap situation has allowed for more. Usually, this means we won't win the cup but it's usually the best part of the team cycle, after the rebuild, but before it gets stale.
3. Didn't know too much about him before the incident, other than rich guy who helped Leicester win the Prem, but sounds like not just a rich, but a good guy too. Very sad.
4. Depends on cap. On ability, looks like Peace, Dabarno, and Shan will be VHL eligible but can we fit them in? Hopefully, but there's also guys like Pajari and Crimson who have a bit less ice time this year and we're only losing Shephard.
5. I mean it was my suggestion so pretty pleased. Think it's a good move although I think he's swapped out for Twinger now. Regular season not a huge deal, but in the playoffs that balance could make the difference.
6. Doubt it, we used to have Team UK when the Knights were around which was basically 2 guaranteed players, but that was a bit of a spark that then went away. Team Europe is safer, any individual country fluctuates too much.
