It’s going to come down to the wire whether or not Jett is returned. All articles point to this being the case but torts is giving him a lot of praise
Surprised he is not playing tonight with their next game next Friday's season opener. Even with Torts high praise I don't think he will play more than 9 games this year. Huge trade deadline decision though as I am not confident he is back next year if he is having a big year this year as I expect he will.
Yes, he may get 9 games but there's no way he sticks as an 18 year old. I agree whole heartedly that it makes the trade deadline tough though... it would sting to graduate both Poitras and Luchanko without getting a return. I can't wait until he's back though... it'll make for some fun hockey in Guelph.
With the arms race heating up, especially in the East, i wonder if George may get some offers he can't refuse.
Even Kingston and Sudbury may be looking to add and London, Erie and perhaps Flint will need to add just to keep up with the competition. Saginaw has little to offer but seem to want to make a run as well.
With limited players likely to move there still should be an opportunity to add a solid 06 and draft picks for a deep run the next couple of years.
I would prefer deadline moves since I am still bullish we can and will be a top 4 team in the West.

It's early days, but I think with the leaps in development that we've seen so far - Alriksson, McFadden and Singh in particular... Guelph will look far better this season.
McGuire is making a case for himself also, looks like they're doing the OA rotation for now...
Boy I really feel for the Storm fans if you potentially lose Luchanko to the Flyers , not saying that’s going to happen by any means at all , but I’m also not holding my breath either and I’m preparing for any scenario . Especially after Poitras permanently stayed in the NHL last season .
You gotta give credit too George Burnett and for the system he has put in place on development

Poitras was a year older. Luchanko will definitely be back. Next year he likely goes the way of Poitras though.

Looks like there's room for McGuire, Namestnikov and Karabela now... that should help with scoring.
Larry reporting that Luchanko is expected to stay up for his 9 game tryout.
