"we wish them all the best," said coach Gabriel Bastrzyk, "These guys are excellent offensive talents but we felt we needed to go in a different direction.
That different direction has all the lines looking different and younger. The moves open the doors for RW's Tygo Post and István Raffai, who will compete for the 3rd line RW spot. 2nd year Player Arno Neubauer is penciled into the 4th line LW spot. "We feel the fourth line, centered by up and coming star Raul McCarter, is a dynamic line and will be able to contribute offensively, allowing our top line players to rest a bit. I think that was our problem when it came playoff time. We were just too tired," said coach Bastrzyk.
The departures also opened the door for Finnborg Berginson and Devon Suggs. Smelly (Ordorcic) will be hard to replace but I think Finney came on at the end of the year and I'm Sure he'll fill in admirably. Suggs will take Belyaev's spot on the third line. Sugg's finished the year 2g/5a/7pts in limited action on the fourth line. Berginson finished 13g/9a/22pts on the third line. Of the three 2nd year players filling in only Raffai really saw any action, playing 27 games on the 4th line scoring 6g/2a/8pts. Raffai seemed to develop great chemistry with McCarter once McCarter replaced veteran center Kent "Superman" Miller on the 4th line.
It seems this youth movement offers more questions then answers. Season 12 awaits.
