But according to that same post, TRT A also lost its best players (unclear how many) to AA. There’s a difference between standing pat by replacing one’s best players with other solid players… and keeping the entire core while replacing the weakest players with better players from AA, etc.

TRT A had to pick up select players for next season and they're not upgrades. Not sure if they'll be in the top 3.

How many Select players did TRT pick up?

All of them on the 2nd TRT team.

So the following post "TRT A had to pick up select players for next season and they're not upgrades. Not sure if they'll be in the top 3" has nothing to do with the primary legacy TRT team? Zero Select players moving to TRT, but only to TRTA?

Correct, not the primary team. The second trt team is coming up from Select
There's 2 TRT and 2 Leaside A teams next season.

Incorrect. The primary Reeve team also had to plug some holes and have 2 select kids but that's part of the game. Kids move up, kids move down. Just because they were at select last year doesn't mean they can't play. Similar to an A kid moving up to AA. I'm sure the folks on that thread are trashing any team who picked up an A kid.

Thanks for clarifying. There's lots of trashing of A on the 2012 AA thread. I'm glad to see that there doesn't really seem to be any trash talk towards Select on this thread. And you're correct that there are many past examples of Select players who moved up and thrived in A. My son plays on a strong 2012 A East team and the team's best defenceman came up from Select in U11.

The NT Select team from last season likely would have been mid-pack in the A East division, that was a VERY well coached team with a ton of skill. I believe 90% of that team is now in A. 8 of them alone moved to Duffield including their goalie. Islanders picked up 2-3 of their strongest forwards.

ARD keeping their entire core, but replacing two weaker players with AA players. LF apparently lost their best player…. But gaining 3 AA players is news to me.

Yes they did, maybe two select but they also picked up Aeros top scorer and a TRT AA player. Not sure where this "not upgrades" is referring to.
