Andre Herman released

Just announced by the Thunderbirds is the release of 20 year old Andre Herman.

Personally this comes as a very big surprise to me considering that Herman has been healthy and Ian McKenzie has not been for several weeks now. I like both McKenzie and Herman but I have always felt that Herman was a very underrated player who did a lot of the little things that people didn't tend to notice. McKenzie skated at practice today which would seem to indicate that he is very close to returning to games.

In the end, Farwell seems to really like players with size. Ryan Gibbons and Isak Quakenbush being the most obvious examples from the last couple of years. It looks like he couldn't bear the thought of losing a forward the size of McKenzie (6'5").

With this move the TBirds get down to their allotted 3 O/A players.
