So do the moves made by Fiesel give the Mils credibility and a shot or is this for next season?

I know that anything can happen in the SJ, but for the Mils to be strong enough to get past Melfort, kindersly, nipawin or Flin Flin, they would have had to have picked up some pretty strong guys. I'm really excited for the Melfort/Melville game, should give some info on how these trades panned out

I definitely found it interesting that the majority of the contenders stood pat without even adding a little depth to the 4th line, or 5th or 6th d man or adding a simple pressure tested special teams guy. In one respect it's good to see the faith but with majority of significant deals being either from WHL drops or within their own league, it kind of makes me wonder if leagues aren't pushing to stack the talent in their own corner without seeing any big sellers for the sake of the benefits down the road. Top to bottom and across the board, I didn't see a great deal of sellers. It really has me wondering how bad the books must be for some clubs if they can't sell a plan to their fans but have to keep the status quo just to compete. The Bombers were lucky to have some optimism within their depth after the deadline deals last year and it has paid off greatly - even if they bit the bullet on a GOOD team that if things finally started rolling in their favour could have been a contender. I'd rather sell the farm and ride out the storm for a months and enjoy a year of success instead of continued mediocrity. On another note, what happened with Pettapiece and the scholarship - Jr. A?! When I didn't see his name on any sheets this year I just figured he must've been a 20 last year.

don't read too much into teams getting whl players that were sent down. just because these players were playing in the whl does not necessarily make them better than what you may have already in your line-up. there may be a reason they are being sent down from the dub. certain players have immediate impacts and chemistry while others can infect the dressing room like a cancer. it will be interesting to watch and see how the teams jockey for playoff position and see who will win out in the playoffs. I suspect coaching will play a factor.

Has Veroba played for the Bombers yet? I don't see him on a game sheet from the weekend back in Kindersley.

From what I hear, he will not report. Oh well. Don't want him then anyways. Enjoy the Rec League Veroba!

Won't report, wow that's another blow to the team! F'n kids. Give my left nut to play in the Forum come playoff time. I see why lots of the deals were made a few days in advance! I'd heard Pettapiece is only going to play on a call up basis if the team needs him and or are in his neck of the woods where he's playing in the jungle.

To be honest, I could care less if I got banned from the forum. To sit here and let my team and coach get $h!t on by a dumb @$$hole like thegreat1 , pisses me off. I'm done reading the trash that he puts up on this site. My account will be deactivated after this post anyway. Good luck to all teams other than the Mustangs, it has been a good year so far and I am hopeful that Nipawin & Melfort meet in the post season. We will see who is getting "bent over" after the 7 game series. Just revisted an old topic and found this. Too bad hawkeyplayer isn't around to read this one... Or is he? hmmmmm....

How does everyone feel about the Bruins trade that was announced the other day? I guess it was pre-deadline, but regardless...

What trade are you refering to? LaClare and DeRoose to Est or something else? Deroose going back is no surprise. LaClare is similar quality do I guess it seems equal. My questoin - How can they anounce trades between Jan 10 and May 31. I thought there was a trade freeze across Canada - Yes - No?

i think it only matters if the teams are still playing in playoffs. Once both teams are out they can announce trades. Plus, this was a trade that was technically made back in like Novemeber or whenever so that's probably a reason too.
