Saki's relationship to Yoshi or Foot Hierarchy in the Nick TMNT show

Ok, so what exactly do you think they'll do with the relationship between Saki and Yoshi in the new series? I see that some people seem to see it as a "mutation" (pardon the pun) of the original comic book origin and the FW origin, where Nagi is killed by Yoshi after he nearly rapes Tang Shen(that would soooo have to be toned down for a kids show.), the mother of his child, and Saki vows vengeance and "kills" Yoshi, but Yosi survives. Yoshi flees to NY where he is mutated. But to me that begs questions:

What is Yoshi's place with in the Foot clan? Is he a shidoshi, master teacher and leader, or just a rank and file Foot Soldier?
Will the basis for Saki's hatred for Yoshi be revenge for Nagi, or ambition to take the Foot Clan from Yoshi?
Is Saki necessarily evil? People would say, "Heck, yes!" but listen. Saki's brother was killed...when he was a kid. The Oroku family honor would probably demand the life of Yoshi who scurried away to New York. Sure Saki's bitterness and hatred for Yoshi festered and messed with his character, but Yoshi's hands aren't clean either...at least in the Mirage continuity, everywhere else he's as pure as the wind driven snow.
I'd love to see the Turtle show show Saki's sensi trying to tell him that his hatred of Yoshi will prove his undoing, since I see his teacher as a wise man, who senses in his student such bitterness, and attempts to help, only to be spurned by Saki's hardened heart. Maybe I ought to try my hand at a fan fic...
How will Yoshi's daughter play into this? I feel that Saki raising her himself, would be the ultimate way of sticking it to Yoshi, even after he's "dead." Destroying Yoshi's offspring with his own "evil" would be an awesome catalyst for the show as a whole, in my opinion. Yoshi finds that she is alive and tries to save her from the Shredder. A very "Nature vs. Nurture" aspect...heck they could title an episode that.
Once Saki's out of the picture what of the NY Foot Clan then? Who leads them? Since Hamato Yoshi is alive, could he fill that void? Would Hama-doe Jane, the Shredder's "daughter"? Would the "real" Karai?

That's all the questions I can think of as of now. I hope this spurs some discussion, but remember most of this is pure speculation.
