Good morning!
Lots of chatter regarding the Thrashers possible move to Winnipeg today. In this article, just posted a half hour ago it reads "Winnipeg set to celebrate NHL Return".... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/winnipeg-set-to-celebrate-nhl-return/article2041112/
The Stanley Cup finals gets underway tomorrow, hopefully they can iron out the Winnipeg news to keep the focus on the main event--- although even if it the annoucement is made today all anyone will be talking about for the rest of the weeks is the Peg. What will they be called... what will be the new division line up... who won't play in the cold prairies... and all those details.
Warrior Kendall McFaull was drafted by the Thrashers in 2010... a move to Winnipeg would make him much closer to home for rookie camps and into the future...
Joel Edmundson is in Toronto today for the NHL combine. He will be put through a variety of tests and interviews for NHL teams to get a feel for the 6'5" d-man from Winnipeg, MB. We wish him all the best out in TO.
Do you think Jonathan Huberdeau will go first overall with his Mem cup performance? He finished with 3 goals and 6 points in Saint John's four games, including an overtime winner last Monday against Owen Sound, certainly proved why he was rated No. 3 among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting in April. He also won the Mem cup MVP...
WHLer Ryan Nugent Hopkins took home the CHL Top Prospect Award at the CHL Awards.... Had the chance to meet his father on the weekend. He said they have a busy month ahead.... after the awards they were going to stay in Toronto for the Combine and of course get ready for the big day in June. It would be nice for a WHL star to go first overall....
A few different articles in point believe even if Nugent Hopkins is selected first overall, he will stay in the WHL for another season to grow and mature to prepare to his obvious next step to the show. Can you imagine Eberle, Hall and Nugent Hopkins together in Edmonton.... that would be something--- and a likley conundrum in the future with the hefty wages they will demand.
The Prince Albert Raiders extended their Director of Player Personnel, Dal Derkatch yesterday....
It's Tim Horton's Camp day tomorrow, stop by either Timmys location tomorrow and support Camp Day and meet members of the Warriors staff.
Have a great day!
