Suppose if Barlage had developed as expected it might be a different outlook this year.
Kelowna plans to play one of the three 16s this year in the required 40 games, sending the other two back to midget. My guess is Carmichael sticks, so perhaps DeSouza or Dorey along with the 1st would be an enticing package for a seller as both those guys are capable of playing already.
Another interesting storyline to watch is the US division. Kent is rebuilding but the other four teams all have a shot at coming out of that division, it could be a dogfight.
