thank god the blades were there, the rest of the thousands of hours other programs spent with them were almost negated.

When did Butcher play for the Blades? He was a Madison Capital youth player

Zach Stepan was a 94 FIRE kid who played with the Waterloo Blackhawks in the Summer..don't recall seeing Zach ever in a Blades uni

Hired guns for a tournament or two here and there, same with Kessel.... I guess since they donned the unifrom for atleast 1 game or a tournament or two they get to boast about them.... I think it's ridiculous, but to be fair all AAA programs, especially spring ones, do the same thing, its all "marketing"

Really, they aren't? What planet are you from? Re-read the original post. Why even mention they played on the Blades if no one is taking any credit? Sorry, that is EXACTLY what the person who posted this wants, they want to market the Blades program. There is nothing wrong with it per se, but don't be so naive as to think there is not an angle being played here though

LOL, creating an account to come onto a subject and add nonsense to the discussion is teh definition of trolling. Being a regular contributor is not trolling.... and the Blades don't offer anything "higher level" than what those players were playing with regularly, they were hired guns, fun for them but nothing that helped them develop....
