We've seen some major moves before today's trade deadline. The big question today in
BCHL circles is "What's Left?" Some thoughts at the
Vees Blog.
At this point it's pretty obvious what teams will make the playoffs. What isn't known is how much those non-playoff teams will be selling. What teams are left to buy? Will any of the bubble teams be buying or selling? Lets take a look at some possible targets.
Non Playoff TeamsMerritt: Alex
Goodship (89)(F), Paul Forster (88)(F), Scott Jacklin (90)(F), Jimmy
Geerin (89)(D), Brad Bourke (89)(D), Harrison May (89)(G)
Quesnel: Trevor Hertz (89)(F), Mitchell Smith (88)(F), Taylor
Rovatti (89)(F), Ben Payne (88)(F), Eric Galbraith (88)(F), Eliot
Raibl (89)(D),
Kiefer Smiley (90)(G) *Back to CV?*
Burnaby: Max
Grassi (88)(F), Reid
Edmondson (88)(F), Nathan
Westover (88)(D), Greg Bay (89)(D)
Alberni Valley: Evan Witt (89)(F), Mitch
MacMillan (89)(F),
Chirs Moulson (88)(F), Brian
Kang (88)(F), Matt Wong (88)(G)
Bubble Teams (Under 50 Points)Prince George: Zach Davies (88)(D), Sean
Ambrosie (89)(F), Alex Allan (89)(F), Wes McLeod (90)(D)
Trail: I'm not going to speculate in case anyone assumes I know something
Surrey: Adam Hartley (88)(F), Brett
Corcoran (88)(F), Brennan
Strang (88)(F), Tom
Janosz (88)(D),
Ilan Cumberbirch (88)(D), Tommy
Tartaglione (88)(G)
Nanaimo: Russell Goodman (88)(F), Eric
Filiou (89)(F), Steve Mason (88)(F), Ronnie Smith (8(F), Connor
Krukowski (88)(D), Anders
Franzon (89)(D), Jonathan
Jobin (88)(G)
So there's part of what could be a large shopping list... but basically half a day to get it done. I think sleep is pretty hard to come by right now.
For teams like PG is the potential return for a guy like Davies too much to ignore? What about a guy like Hartley in Surrey? Those teams are not going to gut their rosters, but top end talent could sure fetch a nice return. We'll see.
