I think the rookies have a very good opportunity to be joining the Wolfpack this season for a couple of reasons. The first one would be to be joining the reigning champions of the SHL. There is always that extra motivation and jump in your step when you join the champions and there is that feeling of accomplishment throughout the whole season. But, the most important, would be the fact that the Wolfpack are aging. Whether my teammates like to admit it or not, we have an old squad and it is now the best time for the youngsters to come in and take their place, in a respectful way. There will be icetime on the top units, there will be times to take advantage of this aging squad, and there is the best chance for learning and growing with past champions and veterans of the league. The Wolfpack have been to the finals a lot in the 70s decade and they have won a couple of times, who else would you rather have as leaders and mentors to the rookies.
