Just a bit of concern.. the LA Kings didn't make the playoffs, so Manchester will be getting some reinforcements for the playoffs. Hopefully it's just guys our team have already played against.
They can't do too much, their clear day roster doesn't look much different then their normal roster , and it doesn't look like LA did the paper transactions that Boston did. Just for a refresh here are the clear day rosters:
Our junior players and Manchester's have already arrived. They couldn't play in the playoffs otherwise. And we already see that two of our forwards are going to be awesome.
I don't have concern about that. But, if Boston bounces out fast, the other teams may be concerned with the players we get back.
To tell you the truth, I'm proud of our present roster.
I'm not worried, we beat them with our backup goalie and some of our veteran players out albeit in a shootout we still did it. Even some of the Manchester fans on their board our calling the round in favor of us, I have been watching their roster closely and they haven't had many callups or new additions . As Lori said IF Boston gets bounced out we are only going to get better. I have faith they can and will do this.

Junior players can be added at anytime during the playoff's, you can expect to see Levi Nelson, Brad Marchand and Andrew Bondnarchuk as soon as there season is over. The La Kings have 2 players that scare me a little that haven't showed up yet and not sure if they will but there names are Thomas Hickey and Oscar Moller. The clear day roster is for players with professional contacts not ATO'S or PTO's.
I, personally, know that (and it was an error to state "junior player". I have no idea why I did that when I wasn't thinking of that. Blame it on my bad memory thing. UGH
I knew we'd probably see Levi Nelson and Andrew Bondnarchuk. I forgot about Brad Marchand.
I'm not that scared of Manchester's junior players. I just got concerned when I realized that the Kings didn't make the playoffs. But, unlike Providence, they didn't do the paper transactions that will get us several guys who began in Providence and that are in Boston if Boston bombs out of the playoffs fast. They won't have to come now, but I'll bet at least two of the three will.
