Barrie Colts 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part One)

[Stellar29]

your getting him for dirt cheap

Do you think this move might accelerate a deal for Barlow or is that still more likely a deadline deal?

 

[frontsfan67]

Going to miss Brauti for sure if he is gone. Seems like Marty always has to give up players we need to get deals done...Last year Savard, this year Brauti.

This is not to say that I don't like the addition of Bertucci! lol. Huge win if we have him in the roster, just going to miss Brauti, I think he is going to be a real strong player in the league this season and next.

Think of it like this. Brauti, newton, Vaughan and picks for Bertucci (team Canada level d man) and Barlow (team Canada level and potentially a 60 goal guy) my barrie buddy isn’t happy about Brauti but knows that it makes the team way better right now.

Will suck for the future but with moves like this you’re not thinking of the future, you’re thinking of right now and right now is the year you probably have the best chance at a championship. Then next year if they want they can trade off guys like beaudoin, aitcheson, Moses and restock the draft pick supply

Oddly enough this trade seems fairly similar to Paul George to the OKC Thunder and when they acquired Kawhi Leonard from the Raptors. You guys are hoping for a championship and that Vaughan (I would assume is used for Barlow) doesn’t turn into Shai Gilgous-Alexander

What happened to trade that was to be announced; confusion over which Newton?

Yes, Isaac or Fig?

Yes, Isaac or Fig?

Maybe leaked by Guru Scout from Barrie prematurely…

We'll see how it all shakes out. I'm eagerly awating the announcement!

Can't believe we're only a few weeks away from the blue and white game. Looking forward to a great season.

I’m not from Barrie I’m from Windsor if you’re referring to me lol. everyone says it’s done. league meetings may delay approval

So do we know what the deal is exactly?

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

I’m not from Barrie I’m from Windsor if you’re referring to me lol. everyone says it’s done. league meetings may delay approval

No, I was referring to the guy who wiped out his X account after the NHL draft..

 

[Millpond]

Yes, Isaac or Fig?

Post of the day. Well played !

I’m not from Barrie I’m from Windsor if you’re referring to me lol. everyone says it’s done. league meetings may delay approval

I wonder if/ where 39 might fit into this Jenga puzzle ?

He's talking about Mark Seidel i believe.

When can we expect the bertucci deal to get finalized?

 

[frontsfan67]

When can we expect the bertucci deal to get finalized?

Since it was expected to happen last week. With more talk probably during this weekend. tomorrow (Monday) may be a safe bet for a few trades around the league

 

[OHLColtsPuck]

Guess it's official!

Good luck in Niagara Jack & Blair, all the best.

 

[Jimmy582]

Losing Brauti hurts a bit but only 1 second and 3 picks overall isn’t bad at all

You cannot complain about that trade

 

[frontsfan67]

You cannot complain about that trade

Absolutely. Sucks obviously about losing a talented young guy but Bertucci is WAY better and may make the team Canada camp for u20. In a contending year teams have to make tough calls- this one isn’t so tough though given what they’re bringing in.

 

[Jimmy582]

You cannot complain about that trade

Ohh I’m not complaining it’s a great trade when I said not bad at all meaning hopefully this is just the start of big moves from the colts. Been a very long time since this team went fully in on a season probably hasn’t happened since 2018 when they had svechnikov in his draft year.

you guys try to win every other year

 

[Jimmy582]

the colts try to be competitive every year I would not say try to win every year. Last year was a example of that trading away sale Punnett Frasca etc… which is all fine but this team hasn’t had a league contending team in at least 6 years even a few years ago they had Clarke and brought it Savard and Hache was nice but they needed more to compete with the top teams in the east. I’m just hoping that this isn’t it for Barrie and they grab another big horse like a Barlow even if that means trading away a guy like Parker Vaughan

Barlow helps immediately.
The Attack are looking to restock picks and young talent .

What's Marty got left to offer up ??

Well it’d have to be probably Vaughan, Jaiden Newton, and probably 5-6 picks

 

[Jimmy582]

Well it’d have to be probably Vaughan, Jaiden Newton, and probably 5-6 picks

And to add onto that depending on how Vaughan performs at the start of the year will depend how much value he has

[OHLColtsPuck]

Looks like the colts loaded up on Dallas Prospects lol. Not sure if it is all coincidental but after signing Hemming they've added both Bertucci & Gardiner
