They made some odd moves right off the bat firing what was a HC and GM that had built one of the top teams in the league right away and putting in their guys, that while successful, had only been in a lesser league. Maybe the GM and coach didn't want to move but it seems to have set the tone they want it to be "their" team and maybe this move signifies that as well.
There were rumours yesterday about the Geekie move to Swift who in Lethbridge, but in didn't make much sense to me because Swift Current aren't any good and certainly not ready to compete. They did just add a 2nd round NHL draft pick so maybe they think they can go on a run and have more moves up their sleeves, but it doesn't make much sense for either team.
The MJ move I understand they are a good team and with no top team in the East they are likely now the favorites or at least have as good a chance as Saskatoon.
They got a ton of picks but you would think it would make sense for the first season to go on a big run, drive up interest and get a solid fanbase.
