Curling doesn't work like this. You don't you just bring in 3 or 4 skips and assume you will have a great team. You need their positions to be based on their attributed skill-sets.

Especially Einarson playing 3rd.
Wouldn't mind Einarson skipping, Rocque coming in to play 3rd
Other great lineup would be
Joss Peterman = skip
Einarson - 3rd
Rocque - 2nd
McCuish - lead
But that's 2 Albertans!

Is this fact or just speculation. If fact, there's way too many skips in the kitchen. (4)

New Team Einarson - I like when the young curlers move to the front end even if they have had success as skips. Yes some can jump right into skipping right out of juniors but for most playing front end is better to start with. I also think this will be nice recharge for Sweeting. This could be my favorite new team!

holy crap. that is one insanely talented team. however this could either work incredibly well and they could become the new dominant force in women's curling.
or this could go terribly wrong. chemistry has to be right. let's also not forget that this is a team of 4 skips joining together to form one super team. outside of meilleur and birchard i don't think any of them ave thrown any position other than skip and shannon only threw third for a week.
will be interesting to watch that's for sure

QUOTE: Team Einarson is excited to announce a new line up for the 2018-19 curling season!
Skip: Kerri Einarson
Third: Val Sweeting
Second: Shannon Birchard
Lead: Briane Meilleur
But they have a Lefty!! Can be a secret weapon. Heh heh.
So... MB based team, I guess - despite Val. Wish them luck.

i don't remember if it was said what ferguson and brown are doing. IF they are still active someone would be stupid not to pick them up. at least one of them.
2 of the hottest free agents in the country if they're still curling.

I have a suspicion that Tracy Fleury will take over skipping Einarson's team.

boy oh boy its only February and this is WILD
This "team skip" will obviously be very talented and contend at all major events
Tracey Fluery taking over former Team Einarson is the one i actually saw coming. Tracey's team could not keep up with the rest of the country, but now her team can. This team will also be very good.
This leads me to believe that Team Jones has to be playing together for at least another year. Especially with Birchard snatched up there's not really another viable option to replace Kaitlyn if she wanted to jump ship to make a realistic run at 2022. She may be hung out to dry.
The front three of Englot are rumoured to be staying together with another out of province skip. Perhaps another Sasky (Lawton???). If anyone has any idea on who it could be PLZ SPILL IT Winning Manitoba will be harder than winning the lottery.
ALSO WHAT ABOUT THE ALBERTA TEAMS??? Dana and Rachel are now freed up, along with Sarah Wilkes, and who knows what Chelsea wants to do.
Cannot wait to see what happens

Fleury taking over Einarson confirmed.
http://www.thegrandslamofcurling.co...-manitoba-team/
My eariler post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as I had heard rumors but had seen nothing confirmed, until I received the following Facebook notification:
A page you like "Team Einarson" has changed it's name to "Team Tracy Fleury"
Kinda let the cat out of the bag, ha ha. An hour or two later the article was published.

HaHa. Got me! I'd just "liked" the "TeamKEinarson" page and thought they'd been HACKED. But #yeah.. they were just renaming the original page. Whew. The only downside I can see is travel. Thunderbay is horrible for flights to Winnipeg and Sudbury is WORSE! It will be interesting to see (Geographically) what their schedule looks like. Road Warrior Fleury. I expect to see Slams and .. what else? Challenge for MB Scotties, like Englot of the Shield. endnote: Just checked the page and it looks like the hashtag #fleuryHard! follows them. That will be fun.

Indeed - Giggling Dana and Curious Brown are tremendous on-ice performers who've curled at the highest levels of womens curling for years - other than worlds & Olympics.
Dana used to skip but I don't think she's all that nuanced. Both are great teammates (minus the incessant giggling) so someone like Carey might make a play on either or both of them - especially if Joss Peterman goes on her own.
Now that I think of it - a natural combination is Carey (skip), Peterman (3rd), Ferguson & Brown (front).
i got to admit i've wondered if peterman might at some point soon return to skipping. she was a top junior skip. ferguson and brown with peterman could be a really strong combination. maybe pick up sarah wilkes at third

Try Peterman in MB as 5th, as someone on top team is semi-retiring... Dana and Rachel go with Chelsea and Wilkes.

Dana Ferguson and Rachelle Brown have a joint Instagram account (pooksandfergie, quite funny) where they are always posting videos of their hijinks. In a lot of them Laura Crocker and Sarah Wilkes tend to be with them so a new team of those four might be a possibility.
