If not, we'll end up with guys like Mahavolich/Cox/Prefontaine/Wilson as our 20's, and we might as well flush the season down the toilet if that happens.

I'm thinking Cozens will be back though, not sure I see him going straight to the NHL. Addison should be back as the anchor on D as well.

Potential 20's - Bellerive, Henry, Lecshyshyn, Cox, Mahavolich
19's - Shepard
18's - Cozens, Barlage, A. Hall, J. Hall
17's - Boyko, Boucher, O'Neill
16's - Stringer

Potential 20's - Prefontaine, Wilson
19's - Addison
18's - Palivko, Jones, Cotton
17's - Regier?, Boucher?
16's - Arntsen

18's - Tetachuk
17's - Thomson

Still an open import spot.

The team needs a couple of those impact 20 year old forwards back though, as well as Cozens, or it looks ugly.

With so few 19 year olds the team will need high impact 20 year olds for sure. They will also need the 18 year olds to step up as well.

What did you think of Stringer? I only saw two of his games. The first one I though he looked good. The other game he looked lost. Both times his skating looked like it needed a lot of work. He seemed to do fairly well for a 15 year old joining the team at the end of the season though.
