Kids are on their way!

2016-11-24

Last year, the Manitoba Moose had a really bad season. There were a lot of old guys and no young player in the system. This was because of a lack of management from Jonathan Tremblay. He was a rookie GM in the league and managing a pro and a farm club was to much for him at this moment. Yes, it's true, there were not a lot of depth in the team he receive but it was not a reason to let the farm club suffer.

 

This year, there's a lot of new players, espacially a lot of kids. They are rocking right now with a team record of 9-4-1. Here's take a look of the team new addition:

 

Riley Barber: With 15 points, he leads the scoring column of the team. He has a big role on the second line of the team. He is in his first year of his entry level contract. The team management are really pleased with the way he play and sincerely, they didn't think he could have this kind of impact for a rookie player.

 

Jason Dickinson: Dickinson who was traded last summer to Winipeg in the trade involving John Klingberg. Really good two way player at a such young age. Playing on the second line of the team with Barber and Goldobin, he is a player the fans loved to watch.

 

Jakub Nakladal: Nakladal was signed as an UFA this summer. The team had a spot for him and the 29 years old d-man did not disappoint. With a +11 in the +/- column, he leads the team with his good defensive play. He helps the developpement from yound d-man of the organisation

 

Jeff Zatkoff: What an addition. There were not any goalie in the farm system that were able to be the starter. Zatkoff is the key addition of this revemp farm team. He got some amazing stats with a 9-3-1/.914/ 2.51. He is a very good guy in the room, he looks so calm when he is in the net that every saves looks easy.

 

With other guys like Rantanen, Goldobin and Mcneill, the team are really well placed to get a great season and get a playoff spot.
