 Where did I say that a player is forced to retire. Do not put adjectives into what I wrote. The priority of the Moose is to Develop the young talent that the Cauck draft along with some experienced players for short term call ups. That is what the Moose are there for, and yes winning is also nice, but the priority should never be to play the old players while the draft picks sit in the press box or at the end of the bench.

Ok, here's the deal, as far as I know, the Moose are not owned by the Canucks. The Canucks maintain the affiliation with them so that their younger players can be conditioned right? So the Canucks get a team for their younger players to play on when there's no room on the Canucks, and the Moose get a bunch of young players to help their team succeed. Success is the key word there.

If they could maintain good players without having to be affiliated with the Canucks, don't you think they would? That would mean that they wouldn't lose their best players whenever someone from Vancouver got injured or wasn't playing well. The Moose have an owner and a GM who probably wouldn't be too happy if they had to play the younger players who needed the ice time in order to develope over the older players who deserved to be out there. And same with the coach, I mean he's not an idiot. Anyone who's ever played minor hockey knows that if you're playing bad you'll usually get less ice time, and if you're playing good you'll get more. I think it's pretty naive to assume that a coach would give a younger, less talented player more ice time than a veteran who actually does well.

Raymond's already posted as on the roster: http://www.moosehock...team/roster.php

So when is he going to be in the lineup?

There is another benefit for the Moose as well. The Canuck players loaned to the Moose are paid by the Canucks. This of course makes operating an AHL team much more economically feasible. The Canucks and Moose have a contract which specifies how many Canuck prospects are to be on the Moose roster, and how many veteran minor leaguers (ie Jaffray) the Moose can carry.

I listened to the game last night and it really was a good experience. The commentators are great, very similar to Tom and Shorty.

Also there was an interview with one of Raymond's assistant coaches at UMD (Lee Davidson I believe) and he had nothing but good things to say. He noted that one of Mason's biggest challenge will be the strength factor of moving to pro hockey. He also noted Mason being a great playmaker while he does still have a great shot.

[Dortmund]

It'd be nice to see Hansen RW and Raymond LW playing together tonight. However, I'm sure Raymond will be playing with a Vet like Keane, which is a good thing as well.

[Dortmund]

Bahhh stupid Arneil no Raymond in the line-up.

He wouldn't leave early and turn pro if he was injuried. Arneil if fussy with his players, he'll enter the line-up when you don't expected.

Julien Ellis IS playing tonight though. Hopefully the Moose can help him get his first AHL win.

Wierd, because everyone was saying he was going to play on Tuesday...... now he doesn't even play on Wed.

Not like he was going to get to play any more hockey back in college.
