Wheat Kings re-assign Depape, Sinatynski, Rouse

Just down the pipe, the Wheat Kings have reduced their roster to 15 forwards by re-assigning Jordan Depape, Jesse Sinatynski and Brendan Rouse.
That Depape didn't make it surprised me a bit, but ultimately I'm guessing it came down to a numbers game. He can play a regular shift in the MJHL whereas if someone like a Jesse Hall (17 year old) doesn't make it this year, chances are he never would.
Sinatynski also impressed, but with how little offensive ice time will be available this year I'm guessing his development will probably go better in a situation where he can play a lot.
I wish I watched Rouse closer, hopefully someone else can share thoughts on how he looked. Any time a 16 year old makes it this close to the season, chances are they will have a good shot next year.
