Was a swap of two players wanting a change in scenery. Bryant is a heart and soul type of player with leadership qualities that I'm sure were of interest to Niagara. He works his bag off and is a pretty decent playmaker. He can play all situations and take faceoffs. I think he would have had a big counting stat season last year if not for the shoulder injury. He was over a point per game prior to injury and his numbers tailed off after trying to play through it. The trade may not look amazing on paper but I think Niagara did ok.

I agree wholeheartedly. We need leadership on the Dogs and Bryant seems like that kind of player. A lot of positives can come beyond the numbers.

Looking forward to watching Kevin He and Ryan Roobroeck this year
He is an incredible leader and very mature. I wouldn't be surprised to see him with the 'C'

Sobolev is the only one the IceDogs have presently.......probably waiting to see who they can get a good deal on
IMO, for the IceDogs it's more about bringing in character players than skilled players who are top end.

Those are two quality players Levin needed some room for more PT which Niagara affords him and Federkow is the kind of character player the dogs need ( lots of talk about that around your Bryant aquisition too )

two character kids who we wish well to. They will bring grit to your lineup and positivity to your dressing room. Federkow will run through a wall for his team. Levin has the skill top be a top 6 fwd in the O.

Levin is a project, flip a coin might pan out might not.
Federkow, whatever he lacks in skill he makes up in determination. He is a beauty.

Beginning of Bruce owning dogs and dd buying Brantford
funny since the day that his son was announced as a coach, the rumor was he was buying into the icedogs if not buying the entire thing, no clue if he has, but this just ads more flame to the fire.

Sad to say in a way but this is one trade where I think the Ice Dogs got the better end of the deal? I say sad because in the past 12-18 months the entire team has been traded twice over! You're going to enjoy the compete from Federkow, really a guy you root for! Not sure about Levin obviously, we haven't seen his game yet. Enjoy ..... and Good Luck to our departing boys.
Preseason record now one and two after two losses to Guelph by 5 to 2 score in Guelph Friday night and a 4 to 1 loss tonight in Beamsville.
Right now the OAs for next season are Bryant, Lavoie, and a goalie? Then no, the roster cannot be kept until 4/7 D and 3 of next season’s top 4 D are 2005-06 born.
Can we keep a roster and work on it
