everett news>... the silver tips phones and offices are in full mode today as the team officiials prepare for the annual fwhl import draft. For most fans who are enjoying the summer at the lake and beaches, for gm cory hes put together a list of players to scout. gm cory " well something like this is tough you dont get to see the players play sort of speak , but with online media and player agents we are able to do our homework to the best we can". The tips will be able to add two new players to their roster as they added eetu laurikannen to their reserve list. eetu's status is up in the air right now and gm cory is playing today as if the allstar goalie from a year ago will not be a silvertip this coming fall.
"we feel we have alot of skill up front and on our backend and feel austin lotz can be our number one goalie this fall, we are looking at adding depth and every gm is looking for that next top 3 forward who can score a ton."
the fwhl has a new rule this year as european goalies can only be selected in the first round, gm cory says it takes away from selecting a game changing player as the fwhl has seen its share of very good euro goalies in the past. but the tips wont be focusing on goalies this time around. " we just have to decide if we feel theres two quality players today or pass and add our depth via trades or free agency.
the tips who unloaded their bantam cupboard for the 2013 bantam draft , hold just one pick. their roster isnt loseing alot of players so its limited to what they can do . " we have room to add 3 or 4 players should we need to and today we will more likily add one and play it by ear to see if we add two." with the euro draft its a gamble and we really have to be set on who we want and what we get today or wait for the bantam draft or free agent draft to make our moves. "
gm cory says theres isnt alot of big name players avaiable and not seeing these players play makes drafting all that much more harder. but he says he confident in a player or two and believes they can make a move today.
