Wade Graham - Under 20's

[Matt Pritchard]

Does anyone in Pantherland know why Wade was put to the 20's?  Discipline issues?  Love to hear why.

[Craig]

Luke Walsh is back and didn't Travis Burns start? Maybe he simply got demoted for that reason rather than a disciplinary reason. That would be my guess.

As far as I'm concerned it's where he should stay for the remainder of the year now that it's official he'll be a Shark next year. It might not be particularly fair to Wade, who is a great kid and fine player, but playing him in the top grade for the rest of the season is only going to continue his growth and development. And we don't want to come up against an even better Wade Graham next season. Let him fritter away in the 20's for the rest of the year. Strip him of any further 1st grade experience to limit his growth and potential impact at the Sharks. Like I said, maybe not fair to the kid but, barring injuries to Burns, it's the wisest decision for the club.
