Defensemen
1)Rob Blake
Team:Florida
Height:6'4" Weight:224lbs
Age:36
Hometown:Simcoe, ONT, CAN
Rob Blake will be our key defensemen on a very weak group of defensemen. He is very physical and possesses a wicked shot. Thought he is 36 we would love to get a couple more years out of him.
2)Brett Clark
Team:Florida
Height:6'1" Weight:195lbs
Age:29
Hometown:Wapella, SK, CAN
The talent kind of drops off after Rob Blake. Though is a pretty decent defensemen we definitely need better ones. He finally made the NHL for full-time duty last year.
3)Francis Bouillon
Team:Florida
Height:5'8" Weight:191
Age:30
Hometown:New York, NY, USA
A very undersized defensemen, but very determined. But he is still very good. Not really what I want for a top 4 defensemen though. He is better suited for third pairing.
4)Jon Klemm
Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:198lbs
Age:36
Hometown:Cranbrook, BC, CAN
At 36 he is near the end of his career. And his production is falling rapidly. Hopefully he won't be a liability.
5)Bryce Salvador
Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:213lbs
Age:30
Hometown:Brandon, MB, CAN
Bryce is suited for a defensive or shut-down role on the team. He is not very offensively talented.
6)Dan McGillis
Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:229lbs
Age:34
Hometown:Hawkesbury, ON, CAN
If my defense had any depth at all, he would not be playing on my team. But since I don't he will be playing limited minutes, as quite frankly he should be playing in the AHL.
7)Martin Tuma
Team:Florida (ECHL)
Height:6'4" Weight:209
Age:20
Hometown:Most, CZE
Martin will be playing in the AHL mostly this season. He is our former 5th round draft pick in 2003. I imagine he should play in the AHL for a while.
8)Ben Shutron
Team:Kingston (OHL)
Height:6'1" Weight:183
Age:18
Hometown:Orleans, ONT, CAN
Ben is our top defensive prospect. He was a 4th round draft pick last year by Chicago. I will keep him in the OHL until he is 20.
9)Raymond Macias
Team:Kamloops (WHL)
Height:6'1" Weight:196lbs
Age:19
Hometown:Long Beach,CA,USA
Raymond is a former 4th round pick of Colorado. He will probably play in the AHL next season.
10)Scott Jackson
Team:Seattle (WHL)
Height:6'4" Weight:205
Age:19
Hometown:Salmon Arm,BC,CAN
A former 2nd round pick of the Blues. When he is finished in the WHL in two years, he will play in the AHL.
11)Joey Gaustad
Team:Wisconsin (NCAA)
Height:6'6" Weight:222lbs
Age:18
Hometown:Wayne,NJ,USA
Joey is a former 2nd round pick of the Avalanche. I will be keeping him in college for the next three years.
12)Brad Bradley
Team:Maine (NCAA)
Height:6'7" Weight:209lbs
Age:18
Hometown:Quebec City,QC,CAN
At 6'7" he is very tall. He is a former 2nd round pick of the Blackhawks. He will be staying in college.
