Werbs trade thing

Here's the deal, junior hockey sucks because we get attached to these players, sometimes get to know them a bit off the ice. They are so nice and polite, as well as fun to watch on the ice. But it's a business, and that is always ALWAYS the hard part to remember.

Bottom line, AMS had too many defensemen on the roster. It doesn't help a players development to be sitting in the stands, it doesn't help the team to not have consistent lineups with chemistry because of the need to play every one.

Werbs, while he will totally be missed, was not really a surprising move once I calmed down and thought about it. He's 18 so still has two more years beyond this one in the league. He's good enough now to be a 3rd/4th defense pairing guy. He has enough value to make him appealing for a team (Edmonton) to pick up.

I think it's a good move for Lane, he'll be able to get more playing time and that will help his development. But damn, I'll sure miss that goofy bastard.

There was a time I got very angry at every move Bob made. But I'm starting to get it now, I get why he makes most of the moves he makes. But it's junior hockey, and it SUCKS.
