I don't think moving Leo to attack would work as long as Hiltz is in the lineup. Watching his games in high school he operated mostly from the lefty wing (same as Hiltz), hardly ever going behind goal. Him playing midfield actually makes a lot of sense I think.  Hopefully by next year he'll be a lot more confident.

Agree that moving Kirst to attack was to add another dodger to the attack. He has been good down there but I can't help but think he could improve his dodging. Most of his moves mostly involve slamming his body into the opposing defender to create space. There isn't a lot of footwork or speed involved in what he does. Still I think moving him has been the right move as it keeps some pressure off Spallina and Hiltz.

Not to think too much about next year but I'm curious how Trey Deere fits in. Watching Simmons and Thomson share a "Canadian Connection" (ie the pretty give and go against the Bonnies) has made me wonder if that could be duplicated next year for the left side of the field with Hiltz and Deere.  I do think Simmons will be a big loss, he has struggled with his shot but watching him mesh with Thomson has been really encouraging to watch. I have to imagine that has made the freshman more comfortable.  I think Deere has the most potential of next years freshmen to see playing time, probably as a midfielder.

If you are looking to add another dodger to the attack line, I'd have to imagine that would have to come from the portal.
