I'm still having trouble with this thread. We had a giant gaping hole on the right wing that is now just a little less gaping, but is still a hole to be filled by someone. Year 2 of the rebuild people, let's be just a smidge more patient, okay? No need to force a young player into a league they're possibly not ready for in a non-natural position. I thought we wanted these young players to have success and build confidence? Is that likely going to happen learning a new position in a new, and much tougher, league?

We'ver got Hudler, Jones, Colborne and McGratton who are all comfortable on the right side. Raymond can also play RW, so I don't see the big hole you're talking about.
Anyways it's what I'd like to see from a fan's perspective, not something I want to get into a war over. I like the energy that rookies bring.
