ETA 2010 / 2025/ 2026

[Guest]

All but QRD, YSE and BJC are looking for D, The supposed top dogs next season such as COW, MW and APR have been striking out finding a top D or even a couple good D, They will each look good on forward but that's about it, although APR now has a top G that will win them some games.

QRD does have good D. YSE and BJC may have D, but far from top D. I think COW, MW and APR D will be fine and even better than YSE and BJC.

BJC have lost 3 of their top 4, they are getting #4VK and #21YSE, they are ok but not as good as last year.
YSE cut 3 and are replacing with #11WW #3NCP and 1D from TM, fewest G/A last 2 seasons and will do the same this year
MW have 2 pretty good D #8 #12 and a cut from both YSE and COW, not sure what else.
COW have 2 pretty good D #34 #11 not sure what else
APR have 2 pretty good D from WW #'s ??, not sure what else
QRD at best a couple pretty good D, if 2 are coming in from PP then they will be good. All know QRD was never good on D.

Everyone needs to manage expectations, fact is it's very difficult to convince either Good or Top D to make a change, most already have it very good with their current team. Even more difficult when 4 teams are all trying to recruit the same few players. I know there will be calls made to certain D even after they attend their first official tryout, all in hopes of a team imploding.

Add in a few G coaches that are also trying.

Funny how some have no idea what a good D actually is and what they think makes one’s. QRD has some top D guys every year that’s not there problem, COW, MW and YSE have some of the top defensive defencemen the league. And with 22 staying adding 4 and 21 they will be just fine.

QRD
BJC
MW
APR
COW
YSE

These 6 teams all have the potential to be good.

If some people would put their pride aside and just stack 4 teams we would then compete with the G. Till then the ETA is in trouble

If you’re not on one of these 6 teams and have the option to be. You should seriously consider it. There is no point in being on any other team. they will barely win any hockey games outside of regular season vs each other.
WW
NS
PP
KGJ
NCP
Not one of these teams will hit 20 wins all year including tournaments playoffs, etc.

You will never play on a Sunday and scouts will stop watching your team come November.

I think the coach that posted was being polite by saying certain players are pretty good, BJC and YSE have had the best D for the past few seasons and will likely be very good again this year, our team has been trying to recruit a couple of those D, I think our coach will be one of the mentioned coaches that will continue to call in hopes of implosions.
APR, COW, MW and PP all need help at that position, not to insult but more of a reality check coming from a dad on one of those teams.

So those 4 teams are hoping for an implosion from any of BJC, YSE, COW, APR, MW or PP then come in to pick up the pieces? Not a very sound strategy if you ask me. Ambulance chasing at it's best but certainly does explain some of the BS propaganda that has been posted here.

PP are not in this conversation at all anymore, and APR, MW and COW will all have better D then YSE and BJC. If you think otherwise then you are oblivious to what’s going on behind the scenes.

I agree PP are not worth discussing, I call BS on either of those teams having better D than BJC and YSE. Care to explain how APR, COW and MW will be better? Simply saying it proves nada, The Coach posting earlier explained his theory with actual players, I doubt your capable of doing that because it's you that is oblivious.

Total Bullshit, post who APR, COW and MW are getting on D that will make them better than BJC and YSE, then maybe you'll finally have an audience Brad.

I hope your not thinking all these statements will be backed up, as usual lots of talk with zero facts, credit to the coach that actually posted his view on each teams D situation with actual player #'s.....crickets from all the other posters.
