There will be a lot of competition for the 5 and 6 spots. We are in good shape to absorb an injury on D. Goalie is unknown, but with that D corp much less of a concern. 

Victoria ∆ GF ∆ NHL pipeline begins now

Like the pipeline comment.  We need to build trust with locations and get our coaches out to these areas.  Nothing is better than personal communication.

This seems like a return to Hakstol - Blais era style of play.

No matter your year, you earn your spot.  Freshmen, have as much right to play based on their effort, quality of play, attitude, skills, lack of stupid plays, and readiness.  We also need to get playing time for younger goalies to get ice-time. Give goalies starts or at least time in third period.  Only exception for play is Senior night.

This is exactly what was missing the last couple of seasons under Berry. Playing older guys that couldn’t score over younger ones with a high ceiling ended up hurting us.
