    Very true, good point.

With Zalewski and possibly Miller coming in that would leave only two more spots to fill for '12. If I did my calculations right based on the 18 rostered forwards SA wants, theres still three and maybe four (depending what Malchuk does) spots available for '11. Personally I would love to see Seth get the Spinks, put each one on wing with JL centering, now that would be dangerous line in the years to come.
    I agree that 2011 has more openings, but there are complications. One thing that hasn't been mentioned to the best of my knowledge, although I added to post 539, is that Zalewski may defer until 2013. Although CH has him as a 2012, his BCHL page http://www.bchl.ca/leagues/rosters_p...layerID=688419 shows both. Then there is the fact that we really don't know how many of Pirri, D'Amigo, and Watts need to be replaced now. BSA (Before Seth Appert), we knew that we would carry 15 forwards. SA doesn't appear to be locked in to that.

    Let's start with who we expect to have next year and work up.
    Seniors: Smith, Cullen, AAG, Rabbani, and maybe Malchuk
    Juniors: Burgdoerfer, Lee, O'Grady
    Sophs: Rogic, Higgs, Tinordi
    Frosh: Haggerty, Laliberte, Neal, McGowan, and maybe Miller

    That's between 14 and 16. I still feel that we will find room for the Spinks.

    For 2012 we have all the above except for the Seniors giving 11. To that add perhaps Zalewski and whatever additions come in for 2011.

They are talented and potentially very good NCAA players-but we keep cherry picking our way around and SA has not made many mistakes in recruiting. he is slowly building a new Beast of the East here from the backline out. Get a very good goalie or two, then slowly procure 2 or 3 big effective defensemen (like we have now) then start to add the skilled forwards up front. All the time looking to reload. I see us in the top echelon sooner rather than later and once we get there, we are going to be very hard to dislodge.

    Actually I think you should thank hokeydope and his efforts to taunt the B.R.O.'s mother.

    Great news indeed...nothing on the USHL commitment page yet, but I'm comfortable with CH's word.
    Miller is a '92 and is listed as 5'11 183lbs. His current Omaha line is: 11 - 4-1-5 (+1) 0 PIM.

    The coaches are the ones who change the USHL stats after the fact. Has nothing what so ever to do with the scoring officials. The coaches do it.

    Some/very few kids will go in and ask the coach to change it. Most kids realize it all averages out and never say boo.

    I have never seen one other recruit from any team ever say that an ast would be added on this forum. Just like I have never seen any other recruit on here joking about penalties etc.
    Honest to God I don't understand your act for the life of me !.......The wolves that raised you must be very proud !!!!
