I'd say it's fair based on looking at an incomplete roster on 'paper'. This "team" isn't gonna dazzle anyone, but the hard working Rick Dudley blueprint is evident on the types of players brought in and I think we'll be fine come April. The Leadership catagory is missing, obviously. We have a lot of youngsters ready to step up, (Kane and Bogo). Depth is another good catagory we are strong in. We really are similar to the Hawks team that was assembled to win a Cup in a few years in my opinion. Might be something special for once..seems like we have a good mix of hard working players willing to do what it takes to WIN. Mason and Pavs deserve better than a C+..Mason is at least a B by himself. I’ve never cared how someone ranks a team or any team for that matter who has not taken the ice together yet.

The team moved after Kyle was drafted from Tacoma to Kelowna) when he was drafted by the Bruins. His coach at the time was Marcel Comeau, the head scout for the Thrashers. Certainly not a coincidence. Kyle is a BIG hitter that would fill a nice role for this team IF he can stay healthy. He is hungry and Atlanta can get him for a cheap price with potential big dividends. Great move in my eyes. Kyle played in Tacoma (Not Kelowna as reported.

A month from now we'll show em what this team can do on the ice, simple as that. Preseason rankings mean nothing. A month from now we’ll show em what this team can do on the ice, simple as that.

Are you kidding me? Thrashers have a very good goalie in Mason and Pavelec, when he's on his game is good as well. I would say our goaltending this year will be better than last year. I'd say Goaltending a B and special teams a B-. Wow goaltending a C+? Are you kidding me? Thrashers have a very good goalie in Mason and Pavelec, when he’s on his game is good as well.

Glad to see he's still writing for the NHL. And bless Bear for contributing to our country by training our soldiers. I'm glad he's also getting to spend time with his family in doing so. Just curious, when will the final roster be set for this season? I'm anxious to see if Exposito and other prospects make the cut.
