I like this trade. Anyone still sitting down? Stunned that I'm not bashing it? Well, I can be objective AND skeptical. They have 2 88 goalies to pick from. And push each other. Think of it as an extended training camp in a way. The guy they think can take them furthest, they'll keep. It does mean Lepera will have to wait his turn and play somewhere else but he's 16. He'll live.
Daniels will be incensed but deal with it, Daniels! Sarnia didn't want Van Buskirk and Saginaw had to deal Berard after last week. I don't think anyone got taken in this one. It's the most depth Saginaw's had in goal since the first season with Kellerman and Psycho Brownie. I think it'll be real cool to see them battle. Maybe literally.
I'll agree with you on this one mp. I like the deal too. You get rid of an OA in a crowded OA situation and you get a solid 19 year old to push Daniels. It also lets Saginaw send Lepera to Jr. B where he will get the PT he needs to develop. I like the move given the current situation. Hadn't heard about Whitely going to Sarnia but now they have 3 OAs versus just one in Wilson. The West gets even more interesting.
