Well deserved. When/if his shot develops he will be an absolute force.
Great season!

His entire off season should be spent in the gym and shooting pucks.
Next big date for this organization is the import draft. Very interested to see what the plan is.
Hamara's debut was delayed until Belleville had locked up a playoff spot.
He made his debut Saturday night in Laval and got his first Pro win helping Belleville secure home ice advantage against the Toronto Marlies.

Now that we are in to the off season I've had some time to organize my game worn jerseys and some other collectibles.
If anyone has, or knows someone that has, game worns that they are looking to sell, there a few I'm looking for.
Also, if anyone has sets of team issued cards for 16/17 or 15/16, I'd be interested.

Really bad news. Frasca after having off season surgery did not come back the same.

Crazy to me, that if this was bothering him all year and needed surgery, that the surgery didn't happen the day after the season ended.

I said that about frasca. If I recall correctly- his surgery was delayed. Could be same thing for vanacker.
In Ontario there are wait times for surgery. This is likely the earliest surgery date he could get.

He could have also been seeking second opinions from other doctors, and could have got it done privately. It would be costly but it’s possible.
There are wait times, but good agents/execs get these kids priority. Testa had surgery and came back fine. It's really the nature of the injury and whether it can heal back to 100%. Some injuries are fine and others you're never the same. Have to wait and see

It’s possible. His vision and passing is incredible, but he needs time in the AHL. Someone I’d compare him to is Logan Morrison, of Coachella. Not just because Morrison is a Bulldogs alum, but they both play a similar game.

How was Owen Protz this year in Brantford? I really liked his game in Sudbury but had no expectations for him to get drafted - especially 4th round!
Canadian Game

He looked really good for only being 17. Plays a good two-way game and uses his big body. He fit in pretty well from the moment he arrived. Just a guess, but I’d imagine he got more ice time in Brantford than he did in Sudbury because of the Wolves’ depth, and especially once Hamara and Okitundu got injured (all D were logging more minutes).
I fully expected Protz to get drafted, and figured it would be around rounds 4/5. Good size and he uses it. Likely still growing. Has had noticeable development over the course of a few months and fit in well on the second pairing. Responsible in his own end.

He has a natural uncanny ability to get his point shots through traffic. It's amazing how many legs he misses with his shots.
And now that St. Louis has signed him, it'll be real interesting to see where they would like him to play.

They take a '07 C. I think this may be more of a look to next year. Have that feeling we will be getting good news regarding the imports in our lineup this year.
