Updated line projections following camp so far? Obviously it varies depending on who makes the club. My guess if B Jones, Knight, and Bouma make the Flames is:
Byron-Granlund-Street
Ferland-Horak-Begin
Bancks-Reinhart-Nemisz
Elson-Jooris-Hanowski
Olson, Eddy
Wotherspoon-Sieloff
Cundari-Ramage
Breen-Billens
McKelvie, Lamb, Martin
Berra
Ortio
It will be an interesting season.
Centre: We are decent at C. Granlund has played against men and we have seasoned C available at the position (Street, Horak, etc)
Wing: We are really weak at the wing. Barring a break out season from Ferland and Nemisz or picking up some UFAs I think we are going to have trouble scoring.
D: Really interesting. This is a VERY junior D. But it is one with a lot of potential.
Goal: Same as D. Though Berra and Ortio have been playing against men so at least there is some experience in net.
I think we are in trouble. This is a team that relied on its goalies over the past couple of seasons and we have replaced our vets with unproven guys. This is complicated by a young D. I also think we are going to have trouble scoring as we are weak on the wing and got rid of most of our top scorers from last season.
That said, we have lots of players with potential so hopefully we can put together a competitive season.
