Just going to weigh in on a couple things. With the 20 yr old issue and the import issue, I look for Bartek to be traded out of town. I see his best option of a new home being likely Everett as they have no imports and no 20 yr old issue. In my opinion I see him going there for possibly a 1990 born prospect or player off their roster. Possibly Jordan Mistlebacher as he was just sent home by Everett for discipline issues. If thye can get to the bottom of these issues, I think he could help out in the 1990 age group as a wheat king. I also could possibly see a trade to the Hitmen for Alex Plante and he did not report to the hitmen and has asked for a trade to another team. Would likely make a good 20 yr old D man in brandon next year as well if he is around and he is looking to rebound after an injury plagued season last year. Possibly in these deals we may also have to include Caliguri to make the deal work. If we are going to have a 20 yr old goalie next year, it won't be Caliguri.
I also believe that we are going to see veterand either traded or released this year. With Depape for sure and then Stone as well as Lewadniuk adn Ciarelli, there is not going to be room for all the vets. I still like Hale because of his size and I think that Cowan and Jeffries are similar players and King has done nothing to make ne think we should keep him around. I think packaging some of these guys up with Caliguri, Bartek and McCue, could bring us some 1990's which we are going to need for next year.
Just my thoughts on what I think is going to happen.
