I totally don't like it, not this trade, it's the whole thing about Mem-cup, and I don't think rockets will have a strong team next season. Mem-cup isn't just a tournament, it's a business, about money. Three years ago, when Rockets have a strong team, CHL didn't let them host it, and now when they're going to lose all those great players, they get it.

I have the same thoughts. You don't just get better in one year in junior hockey. It's always in 4 year cycles. I thought they would acquire more 17-18 year guys to build a good core for this half season and than next season.

3+4 so far tonight (3rd pd)

Both him and Catton with 7 point nights...hockey Canada couldn't have used that chemistry at all lol

In 2020 they most certainly didn't have a good team if that's what you mean.

2+2 tonight. Only 4 points each for him and Catton, so I guess they're slowing down.





(Also, LOL at Hockey Canada.)
