It's hard to say, in a way Carlos played better this season than he had before which is all you can really hope for I guess. but the second half was a bit slower than the first and I can't help but feel Carlos was a slump away from closing his junior career in a stellar fashion. Nonetheless, this season wearing the 'A' for Colorado was a joy and to have it end so quickly in the playoffs was heartbreaking.



Carlos wanted nothing more than to bring the cup to Colorado and to hoist it alongside his teammates, most of which he probably won't get to share the ice with again for a while. That having been said, the season went well for Carlos who still beat his goal and point record from last year and he's now looking at a fresh start in the SHL next season where he will finally make his long awaited debut.

It will be my first expansion draft so it's hard to say how it'll play out for either team but I can guarantee you one thing, it'll work out best for whatever team picks up the exposed Carlos Brown or for Edmonton if they get to keep him. Now I know he may not look like the biggest earner or the best player but that guy has heart and that stuff translates straight into the game. Whatever team ends up with Brown will find themselves lucky. Obviously there might be better players to pick from Edmonton but none of them will bring what Carlos can bring, which is a name that starts with Carlos and ends with Brown, truly he's kind of unique that way. I'm not an analytics guy but I don't need to be to tell you a player like that only comes once in a generation... nay, once in a lifetime.

Why not right? This is all fictional and it's not like anyone actually has to fly anywhere or deal with jetlag. So many players in the SHL hail from Europe if you look at the IIHF rosters, why not allow their hometowns to finally have the pleasure of hosting a real SHL franchise.

Alternatively, an entire league set in Europe, with a tournament having the best teams from both leagues facing off, would be a way cooler, if not extremely complex, addition to the structure of the game.

If I had to choose a city in Europe to host a team I'd probably start with Moscow I guess.

Another softball question, the Raptors obviously, the only thing going against that team was the fact that their goalie being such a good pokechecker and stickhandler in front of his own net that it apparently makes him worst somehow and he was stuck in a perpetual cold streak that basically lasted the entire season for some reason. That team was stacked with talent and was primed to take the cup only to have it taken away from them early in the playoffs. This isn't a loss I will soon forget and I will forever blame this weird quirk that goalies apparently have where if they're too good with the puck, they let in more goals evidently...

You're asking Canada's next World Junior's Championship General Manager who he thinks is gonna win? What do you think? Canada of course, the team was a little young in the past couple years but I think we're primed to take another stab at the gold medal with a lot of players having matured over the last season. We were close last year despite not having the talent other teams had and this time I feel like we have it so it'll be interesting to see for sure.

I've experienced that tournament as a player a few times now and I can tell you nothing's over and there's never any guarantee, but screw that here's my guarantee. Canada is gonna be one of the top teams in that tournament and anything less than Gold is a dissapointment.

As far as the IIHF tourney, I couldn't tell you, but my homerism tells me Canada's gonna end up taking that one too
