I have to agree Mug........its a shame that both players 'have' to go.

Semple has proved that he is a prospect and he will definitely get games in the future down south, - but I think another few months up here would have honed him.

Norman, on the other hand has been exceptional in his development and Vancouver will be the beneficiaries.

Once again, - I'd be saying let the boy go home for Christmas and New Year, - but extend his parent club the offer to bring him back until the end of the season...........they can only say "no."

However, when they see how much he's improved in a few weeks, - they'll maybe be happy for him to come back if they don't have a starting place for him in the team.

Norman, - could go really far..........he is a tremendous player.
