Hoping all the guys do well but really pulling for Grbavac, he is an great player, better guy and I hope he gets the contract he deserves!

It's going to be really tough For Grbavac to get a contract in philly.

Flyers already have 50 contracts but 2 contracts likely to slide. So they pretty much have only 2 spots left before they hit the 50 contract limit.

I hear there may be a change with our GM. I sure hope not Brad has done a great job with the Tigers. Hear he may be going back go scouting for the Tigers.
Brad has proven himself as a GM.

Weird, I thought he had been doing a great job. I have been happy with the management of the tigers. Guess we never know, it may be him asking to go back to scouting.

Could it be because Brad does not live in the Hat? Maybe he wants to be closer to home, can't see the Tigers being unhappy with him! He has done really well!!

Personally I think the jury is still out on the job Brad has done with the team. We are just starting to see his picks come through the system and looking at our protected list that Alan Caldwell posted on his blog there is a real lack of size. There are only three forwards on the list that are over 6' tall. Most are between 5'9 and 5'11. Skill maybe but toughness and grit sems to be lacking.

I agree skill can only work if grit allows it.

The True protected list is not released to the public, but ALan Caldwell comes up with a pretty close list.

Wouldn't it be funny if Dylan Bredo, Dylan Bredahl, and Todd Bredo all played in the same year

What ever happened to Damon Hanson? Anyone know? He performed well at the rookie camp and I thought he had a good shot of making the team with time. But I do not see his name on the list?

Just in case you missed it, 19 year old forward Brendan Hurley will not be back with the Tigers this coming season, he has signed on to play Junior A with the MJHL's Dauphin Kings in 2012-13.

So he as well can now be added to the list of eligible players not returning including Parkkonen (back to Finland), McKay (going to play at Mount Royal), etc.
