Hurley has limited offensive potential, and his foot-speed was slow. <br /><br />I think Hurley's game was definitely more suited to the Kootenay style of play, however to say Kootenay wrecked his game is not fair to Hurley or Kootenay.<br /><br /><br />When I was talking about other teams being interested I was talking about the free kind of interest. <br /><br />I thought it was obvious that before moving/releasing a player, a team would gauge if their is any interest in the league.<br /><br />Perhaps come training camp or October/November or so when injuries hit or teams realize they need some help other teams may want a physical presence picking up a 19 year old with Memorial Cup experience....unless of course the Tigers maintain his rights.<br /><br />If the Tigers completely released Hurley I'm 95% sure he would be in another teams training camp come September.TigerTurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359764110928059937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-71366298194865536762012-08-01T20:36:03.185-06:002012-08-01T20:36:03.185-06:00Blake Penner is listed as probably making it next ...Blake Penner is listed as probably making it next season and I totally agree. I was also thinking, based on his good showing at the recent camp, was Cole Sanford. I think he is a real talent. It is just crazy the depth we have up front, I wonder if there is not going to be a trade of a forward to get a D-man with some experience and size, especially with losing the size of Hurley!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-48246862747811234052012-07-31T14:09:48.955-06:002012-07-31T14:09:48.955-06:00Let's be clear about something.

Obviously, there were no takers within the Dub for Hurley.<br /> I'm not buying into the "Trap System" either. Kootenay Ice are not the only team in our league that play that system. If he was good enough., he would have been picked up by another team.<br /> Let's just be realistic about this player. I wish him well, with Dauphin.<br /> Can anyone tell me how to open a new topic on this blog?

So why did the Tigers not trade him? I really liked him and think he is better then the MJHL!!

I do not think we got to see all that Hurley had to offer. I am willing to bet he would have found his role early next season as he would be able to build his niche as the team was assembled. Good luck to him, he deserved better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-69699029952707131132012-07-29T08:15:46.062-06:002012-07-29T08:15:46.062-06:00I'm guessing that Hurley was told by the Tiger...I'm guessing that Hurley was told by the Tigers he would have a limited role with the team this year so he decided to go somewhere else.
