Tate Thoughts (Jan 1)

[Tate 450]

- Well here it is the start of a new year and I just can't help but think of the past. So much has happened over the past couple of months it would take a couple of media articles to explain it all (which I intend to speak on many topics in my next podcast). So why don't we start with the positives? I am enjoying my new player, Brandt Fuhr, and I've gotten far more starts in Halifax than I had anticipated when I signed (I did not expect a single one, lol). Nice team they have there in terms of members and leadership and I am happy to be a part of it for the remainder of the season.

 

- I do wonder what will happen when it comes to draft day in all of the VHLM, VHLE, and the VHL. I've never been a goalie before so I am not sure if I'll be expected to stay down in the VHLM after one season or move over to the VHLE. I know that I'll wait to see what comes my way and be open to whatever management suggests is best. I have no expectations for draft position as goalie is a different kind of need and not always a necessity. All I know is that this is a new year with new experiences that lie ahead.

This has got to be the nicest way of saying "Well, we suck on the ice" I've ever seen. But really we have a similar vibe in Miami. Awesome LR, less awesome spreadsheet hockey.

The M will be hurting for goalies next season. You should go pretty darn high, or I'd be very surprised. I've been looking at it for the JST draft, and you're waaaaay up there. With your trajectory I'm guessing 1 M, 1 E then VHL starter is in the cards? Based on the VHL losing all the S75 goalies soon™.
