91 made some defensive upgrades which weren’t required so that proves to remaining defenders that there is no loyalty and just a glimpse of what’s to come next summer where the out of state imports will dominate the roster together with the Venom offensive reclass players.
Biggest Losers = hands down Igloo. They’ve now lost 3 of their major offensive players and some serviceable defenders and have not added even one top notch offensive player. Coaches and ownership kept trying to sell a future which essentially disappeared within days after the season ending tournaments.
Moose - 1 huge loss but loyalty on that team remains and they will be an occasional upset machine due to their scrappiness and effort.
Legacy - no movement at all, except for possible merger with Igloo which even if it were to happen, doesn’t help either team that much.
If your willing to make a bet I would argue there are a couple of kids on igloo that chose to stay currently that will end up being better offensively than 2 out of the 3 that left it’s not about today it’s about what they will be a couple years from now being the best 8th grader doesn’t always translate to being the best hs player and beyond …are you willing to take that bet?
Not saying that those players that remained are not good and won’t continue to get better and possibly exceed the talent of those that left, but they will now be playing against tougher competition and won’t have the depth to compete as they did in past years. Same holds for Moose which was already starting to unravel this year even with their top scorer.
