What happens behind the scenes at Underground Arena is top secret! After the allegations made by the NT coach today, the already extreme levels of security will have to be taken up a notch. :P

Those are some very interesting lists you've posted there, and it looks like Team Canada is continuing to improve steadily. One player that especially catches my attention is Boris Chevalier. He seems to have come out of nowhere at the PG position, and if he continues to improve, he would be a very interesting late bloomer type. I don't know if he'll ever actually play for the NT or not, but it's always nice to have some extra depth in the picture.

Interesting list. I like to see when new guys pass the old guys, because obviously that means the team is getting better as we are upgrading. Milot, Matthews, and EAK all were at most backups to start last season (Milot and EAK weren't even on the team IIRC). Hopefully we keep improving and we can get some more giants on the inside. It's frustrating that a guy on our team can come in at 22 years old and make the team, while some other teams have some absolute monsters that will be there for years to come (and most stay in good game shape even with ridiculous salaries).

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D Hightower cracks the top 5! Yay!

But seriously a very good 25 players there looks like Canada has some depth for the next few seasons!

Understand that the list is the top five players that could play for the NT. There are better players in that are not on the list but they are often ranked in the three or four spot. So I have choosen to list the most likely five to be on the team. Also note that there are several players that are so close it was incredibly tough to decide who to list.

Oh yeah I completely understand. Hightower is still 2-3 seasons away from maybe cracking the team(my guess), I'm just happy to see him at least at training camp :p

I found Chevalier on the transfer list - he was a player I'd never even heard of before I found him. It makes me wonder if any other 22-24 year old players are flying under the radar who might be potential NT contributors.



Milot will continue to get training next season if I promote, but he's slowed a bit and his salary is going to sky rocket. There if I can't win two games against the Stajans this weekend then I might have to put him up on the transfer list.

Chevalier was a very nice find and seems to have an owner that wants to continue training him.

As for Milot being sold...please NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is literally a million dollars worth of convincing :)

Heres hoping you win or at worst sell Milot to me when I am ready (around mid season).

Uh oh, so it comes down to game three on Stajan's home court. Go I Wor Kuen! I've never actually rooted for a different club team before, but I think I'm going to have to in this case :)

If you want to throw down the fisticuffs, fine. I've got Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary right here.
