Surprises
Rasmus Daamgard Did not Report
Bo Montgomery Did not report. I'm shocked and disappointed in that. I thought Bo was headed for a really good season. The tigers loose a huge physical presence.


So Spots available, based on 2 extra Dmen and 3 extra forwards
Didn't count Kale Kessey as a veteran
1 potential Goalie
3 Defenseman
5 Forwards

Expendables:
IMO Taylor Gal and Josh Koper could/should be on the trading block

Thoughts
I'm a little well, not worried but concerned about the shape of the Tigers Defense for this season. A good first line but the tigers lack depth after that. Konan, Carlson, and Carr were depth players last year. They will need to step up their game to provide a solid 2nd pairing.

Forwards
TO me the forwards group looks like an average group with potential. Good top 2 lines. After that it drops off. They'll need guys other than Okal, Vey,king,hamilton,grant,cameron to score some goals. If that doesn't happen offense could be spotty(score a bunch here, then go dry for a couple games)


Pre-Preseason Prediction:(subject to change as we haven't seen them play yet)
I think the Tigers will have a similar copy of last years team, with hopefully better talent in their depth players. I expect the tigers to finish around the middle of the pack when the season ends. Maybe a notch higher because of excellent coaching.

**Removed**

Breakout Player: Well I was going to say Bo Montgomery. I thought he had a bright future. This year I'm going to Pick Tristan King, and Mathew Konan.

Triston King has a very good skillset. He will get to play more minutes this year, on the top 2 lines.

Mathew Konan I thought his speed improved alot between his 16 and 17 yr old season. He is big has a long reach and getting faster. I think he can develop into a solid 2 way defensman.

Did Jace Douskey get dropped from our list or did he not report. He played a couple of games last year.

will any of the 16 yr olds make the team this year

I would think Reid petryk and Dylan Businius have good shots at cracking the club this year as 16 yr olds.

i'm going to say Busenius.Leier,Mospanchuk

Don't agree with your comment on Montgomery. Only thing he had going for him was his size. He was very slow and had limited mobility.

I liked Bo's physical side, and ability to read the play.

He wasn't going to be a breakout player in the sense of getting a ton of points, but more of the unsung aggressive defender type.
