Everett.wash..... The Silvertips completed a busy fwhl import draft day with 2 selections and two trades. for the first time in franchise history the club made 2 selections in the first round . the first selection was with their own pick, and they selected forward walterri hopponen from finland , then traded 17 yr old tim Vanstone to Spokane for the 8th overall pick which they used to select Russian dman alexesy sleptsov. gm cory hasn't had much luck with euro players and hopes these two can delevelop and become top players in fwhl. the team still has eetu laurikannen and fred tiffels protected , but eetu more likily wont be returning for his sophomore year and tiffels has chosen the ncaa route.
the other trade made by the tips on draft day was adding a overager for a 3rd round free agent pick, the overager is Collin valcourt who comes over from red deer.
the tips now prepare for the bantam draft and training camp. the tips are holding onto one bantam pick and arnt really jumping at adding anymore picks. the team in the past two years have drafted 9 players and 4 of them in the 1st round. gm cory really used the previous 2 bantam drafts to kick start this full rebuild. and its beginning to pay off as the team have drafted key players hawryluk, sandhu, needham, and lees.
the tips moving forward continue to be one of the youngest teams in the fwhl but feel they can really be a competive team this year. gm cory feels they have a lot of skill and guys who can put the puck in the net and benifited from a lot of ice time last year.
the tips who missed the playoffs last year for the first time in 3 years hope to get back into the playoffs and build for what could be a very explosive 2014-2015 campaign.
matt needham enters his 3rd full season with the club and currently the active leading scorer for the tips.. heres the tips all time top 20 goal scorers...
