Along with the theme of getting Duhart:
This continues a long Komets' tradition of signing players who played great against them. Who are your favorite examples:
Mine: Marc Boileau, Scott Gruhl, Mitch Messier, Brent Gretzky and Vladimir Tsyplakov.
There are also a bunch of those where didn't work quite as well. Give me your best of those, too: Paul Jerrard, Chad Grills, Tracy Egeland
Just because I'm so busy I can only spend a few minutes right now.
1. Duhart is thrilled be picked by FW: "I love the franchise, the rink and I love playing there. One thing my wife and I were talking about was the winning tradition there. It's making the playoffs and making a run at it.''
2. Komets President Michael Franke, "We're looking for some character and personality and I have felt for the past few years that our team lacked personality. He will bring some of that to our team. He can just flat-out score, and we need some offensive help.''
Komets' picks
1. Kevin Reiter, G, Missouri
2. Jim Duhart, F, Missouri
3. Brad MacMillan, F, Missouri
4. Matt Elich, F, Roanoke STEAL OF THE WHOLE DRAFT
5. Paul Falco, F, Missouri
I personally LOVE This draft. I thought Elich was the most talented forward the Komets played against last year. He has incredible skills. Reiter IS the next Frenchy, and you all know how I feel about Duhart. I think they did as well as they possibly could have hoped.
They also lost Josh Tataryn in the expansion draft.
Expansion draft for Bloomington and dispersal draft tomorrow for Roanoke, Motor City and Missouri at least and possibly Adirondack. It's awful quiet on the Frostbite front. Who would you like to see the Komets pick?
Oh, and Jungle Money, Tony E and Skate need friends. Who wants to be their friend?
On a few things:
The Komets definitely want Colin Chaulk back and he said they told him that three weeks ago. They are negotiating some contract points.
``We're looking to make a couple of adjustments, but it's something we've talked to him about and he's fully aware of,'' Franke said. "There's nothing to comment on that.''
What about the rumors of cutting his contract?
Give me your "all-time'' Komets UHL team with 10 forwards, six defense and two goalies. Give me lines of three and defensive pairings. Argue amongst yourselves until you can get it down to 18 generally accepted players.
Let's leave the coach, owner, player bashing to a minimum. We've pretty much said all that can be said and it's obvious that debate can't be advanced yet.
So pick your topic.
