Move Jordan Mistelbacher for more scoring if possible. He's been a discipline problem in the past & he'll be a bigger problem next year. His physical play is great, but he's too inconsistent.

Move Shayne Barrie for more speed or more toughness if possible. He's lost his confidence here & needs a change. It may be difficult to move him, but there might be somebody willing to exchange another 19 year old for an experienced goaltender who has had some success & Barrie may be more effective going somewhere knowing he is expected to be the backup right from the start. Getting another enforcer type of player may let Beach focus more on offense & agitating. He can probably be a more effective agitator knowing it won't be up to him to drop the gloves almost every night. We haven't replaced the toughness we lost when Jeff Regier was traded, and that may be hurting Beach more than anyone. I don't have any numbers, but there might be a correlation between the types & number of penalties Beach took before Regier left & after.
