I went into this season much differently. I created a more offensive roster to focus on outscoring high-risk games, instead of trying to win 1-0, 2-1 games. We might still stink this season, but we are going to be aggressive and score some goals!
Injuries to start the season: None!
Free Agent Signing: Nail Yakupov
Lineup:
9-9-1(6th in Div)
So far so good! It seems like we finally have a legit top line, albeit not a great one. Depth seems to be okay, and as long as the defense can hold up, I think we just might have a chance to sneak into the playoffs!
Oddly enough, one of our prospects, Jones, could not land a team, so we signed him just to send him back to the OHL.
