Aaron Lewadniuk commits - Wheat Kings stacking the deck

The rich get richer. I see that yesterday the Wheat Kings received a commitment from Aaron Lewadniuk to play for the team as a 19 year old this season. Lewadniuk was acquired in a trade last year and was the subject of this discussion then:

He has a history of playing on a line with Jay Fehr in midget. If Maxim Mayorov does end up coming as well, can you imagine trying to check this team with all of these potentially in the top 9:
Schenn - Glennie - Calvert
Clark - Lowry - Mayorov(?if he lives up to the hype)
Fehr - Green - Lewadniuk
That then creates a situation where our fourth line can be every bit as good as most teams' third lines.
In the same announcement the Wheat Kings mentioned that Brandon Regier will not play with the team this season. This makes a lot of sense to me with all of the other older rookies that have to make the team this year... there just wouldn't be enough ice time to go around.
