They are being like the Hockey Canada was about having NCAA players with not taking CHLers (outside the 1 or 2 they normally take). It seems they want NCAA, NTDP alums, and USHL alums. Just looking at the weakest position on the team was goaltending; Kempf .893 SV% with a 3.57 GAA, Heil .891 SV% with a 2.60 GAA, and Knowling .877 SV% with a 3.22 GAA. Now they were getting left out to dry by the defense and couldn't make a save when they needed to. Wendt .929 SV% with a 2.37 GAA, Reyelts .902 SV% with a 2.59 GAA (he was sent home), Miller .925 SV% with a 2.07 GAA this is just the top 3 American goalies in the WHL. I didn't see Potter as a top 2 center on this team, and I wouldn't be surprised if Powers told them he needed Potter after he wasn't originally selected. Leaving off top players that went to the CHL because of sour grapes. Vanbeisbrouck dropped the ball on this team with who was left off, I hope he has nothing to do with the team next year. Bryn would do a better job being the GM than Vanbeisbrouck.
