Quoting: Sebybbq
Pretty good article! The only exception is the fonstad trade. We can get a guy like glendening on the market on july 1st. There no need to trade a guy like fonstad who is a left winger and we don’t have much depth in our system at that position. Gorniak have regress in a major way this year. And harvey pinard is more a grinder type. Fonstad have great playmaking abilities, good vision and skate well enough to compete at a higher level

there is when we got 41 contracts in laval right now and another half dozen guys to old for junior like Harvey-Pinard ,Mcshane , Hillis ,ext
Fonstads good but i had to make a call between keeping him or cutting Vedejmo to make room and to be honest Vedejmo's the better all around player who like Lehkonen is the coaches favorite guy.
even if we had an ECHL i just dont see how it works out unless he goes oversea's to develop
this is the cost of drafting so many extra picks 3 years straight going on 4 .
we've had to cut players like Bradley ,Audette , Tyszka , Walford , ext .
had we had a ECHL system we coulda developed them there for AHL call up .
Fonstad's good but he'll take years to make into a bottom 6 player
not worth the investment given its basically our strongest point today with Drouin and Lehkonen here for years .
unless its an undisputed top LW prospect we got to consider we dont have the space to develop them (unless we send them oversea's )
