Speaking of the Warriors, this is a team that should be vastly improved this year. The team doesn't lose any 20 year olds and their returning players have another year under their belt.
Travis Hamonic will anchor the back end and looked smooth last night, not ever getting beat and carrying the puck at will.
Upfront, Quinton Howden is bigger and faster as a 17 and will no doubt be the offensive leader on this squad. Jason Bast is back and after a short chat with him its evident this kid is ready to guide the Tribe towards a playoff spot.
The only question might be in net as to who will be there and how they'll play. Both Jeff Bosch and Devan Dubyk are back and if they play well, I see the Warriors sneaking into a playoff spot.
The Tribe are off to Edmonton for the pre-season tourney and then back home on the 5th to start their exhibition season.
And peaking into the crystal ball, former GM Chad Lang's final first pick looks to have all the potential in the world. Morgan Reilly played most of the night paired up with Travis Hamonic and I really had to look to see if the 15 year old even made one single mistake. Reilly showed incredible season and vision and doesn't hesitate to jump into the play as well. At first look, this kid appears to be a homerun.
