Regardless of the Country, you dont get to the World Juniors by not being good enough. Silly comment. This team needs some older players to take the load off the younger guys. It is a long season and your Petes 08's have probably played more ice time that 90% of the rest of rookies on other teams will play all year (minute wise). Besides you cant teach height and reach. You guys had a rough rookie years ago in Conner Smith. See how that turned out. For some of these kids, less is more in their development. One positive, Petes have a leg up on Guelph, Sarnia, Owen Sound and maybe NB (once rumours of deadline deals emerge) and all in full rebuilds. Too bad SSM game wasnt next weekend, as rumour top guys going.
