I count 1 guy that can hit the PPG mark in Brayden Tracy. Tracy will be one of the most dangerous forwards in the league. They do have about 6 guys floating around the .5 ppg mark.They have an older group of forwards, but their not necessarily the guys you want in your top 6.
They have a couple bright spots with Brayden Tracy and Ryder Korczak. I feel like their offense is a slight notch below average due to older depth with mediocre ability.

Their top 4 Dmen are no longer here. Defence could be a problem for Moose Jaw. Very young and inexperienced. Moose Jaw did rotate some younger defenceman in and out of the lineup last season for playing time. We could see them swap in an OA for help. I would consider this group below average.
Goaltending
Adam Evanoff(19)(.916)
XXX
--
Jesper Wallstedt(17) (Import)
Goaltending should be pretty decent. Evanoff split time in net last season but had the better numbers. Even though he only has 56 games of experience and has yet to be a #1 starter he could become prime trade bait material if he shows well this year.
Wallstedt is supposed to a future first-round NHL draft picks and of the top goaltending prospects to come out of Sweden. It is unknown if he will cross the pond. If he does come over he will see a lot of shots with mediocre defense in front of him.
Draft History
-->
Moose Jaw may have a couple poor seasons coming up. Missing a variety of picks and in late positions.
Import & OA
They have 1 OA.
Wallstedt is supposed to be one of the best goaltending prospects coming out of Sweden and is being touted as a potential future 1st round NHL draft pick. He hasn't decided on if he will join Moose Jaw. If he does the warrior will likely have to do some manoeuvring. It would be difficult to drop the Import defenceman due to shallow depth.
Initial Thoughts
I feel that they will have a very tough season. It's their turn to re-balance after some strong seasons. Their defence is a bit weak and I suspect they may want to turnover and balance an aging forward core. I don't see them finishing higher than a wildcard position.
