Our core defensemen for sure. Geisler was a stalwart defenseman to be sure, and Hardwick provided some valuable experience on the blueline. Unkle Jesse probably is the least missed, as our incoming forwards, though young, are big guys!
I was hoping Petruic could step into the roll that Geisler left vacant. Lessard left an unfillable gap in the scoring offense with his size and sniping ability. Though Schwabe has 13-17-30 so far this season, the offense lacks that finishing touch that Lessard provided.
There are 11 seniors on the Bulldogs this year, but Sandy is recruiting like mad to fill the gaps. He is a much better recruiter than Sertich was, I was just hoping he could be a better motivator (not that a senior-heavy team should need much of that) to help pull this team out of the slump before it was too late (which, barring an improbable run through the Final Five, it probably already is).
