`the leadership shuffle follows a

`posted anotherquarter of strong
`financialresults.
`“Mr. Natale recently indicated
`that a move to Western Canada
`would not work for him and his
`family for several years,’ states
`the release, which thanked Natale
`
`for his 12 years of service at Telus,
`“and the board determined that

`While Natale’s sudden depar-

`reluctance to relocate, Telus is
`known for allowing select employ-

`work. On its corporate website,

`“Zach was in and out of the

`fair for him to go to a team where
`he would be able to playa big-

`Rob Simpson said. “We looked at

`and sent hier to 2 place where he
`would have 2 chance to be suc-

`Grrelewski scored five goals
`and 12 points in 36 games and
`appeared in one playoff game
`with the Knights last season. The
`
`sixth-rounder scored 26 goals
`in 22 games with the St. Thomas

`Auston Matthewshas signed to play in Switzerland once he turns18this fall. The special circumstances
`of his situation meanit’s not a path otherjuniors will follow to the NHL.
`
`“He's strongin all areas,’ Phil
`Myre of ISS Hockeysaid of Mat-
`thews, whostarred for the U.S.
`national team development pro-
`gram last season. “He’s got the
`size, he’s got the speed,he’s got
`skill. But not only that, he knows
`the game,he plays the game 200
`feet very well. He can partici-
`pate in the forecheck, he’s reli-
`able defensively. He’s a goodall-
`aroundplayer with a really above-
`
`average skill set.”
`There’s a danger that play-
`ing overseas would bringfarless
`exposure for a North American
`prospect, but Steve Bartlett said
`there’s “probably less risk” for
`Matthews because he’s already
`well-regarded.
`Beyondjust being off the radar
`more in Switzerland, Matthews
`will be playing against men,
`rather than dominating against
`
`his peers.
`“I think Matthews has prob-
`ably solidified his status pretty
`strongly,’ Bartlett said,
`Matthews would have played
`for the WHL's Everett Silvertipsin
`his draft year had he stayed. Bar-
`tlett figured Matthews, growing
`up in Scottsdale, Ariz., “wasn’t as
`swept up in the majorjunior cul-
`ture that I think most Canadian
`kids are.’

`that Pina told him he was ready
`to go. With the extra day, Pina is
`a certain Game7 starter.
`No matter, if the Majors can’t
`close the deal Tuesdaynight,
`Chanderdat’s chorusofcritics
`will be in full voice.
`Chanderdatis about as secure
`as a managercan be. He hasn't
`wonthe big one but his team is
`competitive every year and as
`mentioned before, they've come
`close. The Majors don’t have
`anywhere nearthe budgetof
`someof the other teamsin the
`league to pay playersto play.
`Off the field the team has seen
`some growth and he and co-
`
`ownerScott Dart have brought
`stability to the team.
`Ohyeah,that’s the other
`reason Chanderdatis fairly
`secure — he co-ownsthe team.
`Despite that, Chanderdat
`says at the end of every season
`that everyonein the organiza-
`tion undergoes a performance
`review, including the manager.
`So to go back to the beginning,
`Chanderdatbelieves his team is
`going to win Game 7 but...
`“Overall, you always want
`to get a win,’ he said. “But this
`year going into the season, we
`replaced seven-of-10 starters
`and mostof ourpitchingstaff.
`Mostteams, that would have
`killed them. We hungin there.
`_ We battledfor fourth, got home-
`
`field advantage. For the turnover
`we had, westill had a good
`year. Still we wantto win in the
`playoffs.”
`The longer the Majorsfail
`to win, the more the pressure
`mounts and the louderthe
`chorus gets.
`Chanderdatsaid he didn’t feel
`any extra pressure to win.
`“No, not this year and when
`people say, why notthis year...
`like I said it was a turnoveryear,”
`he said. “We wanted toget into
`the playoffs and get home-field
`advantage. We did that. We set a
`recordstarting the season for the
`Majors with sevenstraight wins.”
`Chanderdatisn’t deaf to the
`criticism. _
`“T knowyouare alwaysmea-
`
`sured by successin the playoffs
`so we haveto go out and win
`(Tuesday,)” he said “How I look
`atit...as you get older and do
`this for a long time, you know
`you have so many managers out
`there.
`“But we built not only a good
`team but a good program,a pro
`program where guys can come
`in and play good quality baseball
`or move on to a higherlevel of
`baseball. I think we've accom-
`plished whatI set outto do in
`doing both. We're lookingat the
`complete package.’
`It’s a package, though,that
`Chanderdat knows won't
`truly be complete until he
`can quiet that chorus with a
`championship.
