(S10) - PT 1 - New Faces

[CDub2]

Probably the most important new face in the locker room this coming season is Brad Pennington. Not to put down the new rookies or anything, but we have moved into a new era in Yellowknife. the Wraiths gave up the 4th overall pick and legend Matt Akselsen to acquire Brad Pennington. He's coming off a fairly successful rookie campaign with San Jose and is looking to improve throughout the season. But this acquisition is very important for a couple of reasons. 1) It reunites Brad with Chad and Thad. This has been a huge morale boost in the locker room, especially for the other 2 -ads. 2) The Wraiths management realized that they only have one or two more goods seasons left of some legends. Dermot and Eric Kennedy seem to be on their way out of their careers, so if there is one more season to push to win this would be it. One of the leagues best receivers and the leagues greatest punt returner and corner back of all time both on the same team is something special, so YKW is going to go all in for one more season. And that's very encouraging for some other vets on this team who have been around but are not ready to move on yet.
