Best case is
What??? Budnick and Schneider were both traded away before Christmas last year.
My apologies they still show up on the OHL site as playing in Kingston. God I wish they could get things straight.
With Uens it comes down to how he's used - he's got the classic undersized feisty mentality but he needs to be paired with someone with size so that he doesn't get beat down low. In terms of pure size Velliaris has the frame and from what I saw last year he doesn't shy away from the physicality - but with how much Mann seems to like Uens I think that'd be a bit much in terms of a step up ice time-wise for Velliaris at this point.
use this and remove OA players

Burns is not gonna be third line beast lol. Chromiak may not even be back.
It was confirmed to me by someone directly involved.
After the season he had I believe it’s definitely possible. But like everything I’ll believe it when I see it. For all I know Chromiak Poole and Heyes will all be back lol. Hoping none are but I’ll believe they’re gone when I don’t see them on the training camp roster
Wouldn't count on the 2 OA'S being back.
Unreal they trade thibs. He’s gonna put up a lot of points this year. Ppg this past season. Wonder if they use those draft picks to get an upgrade. Only way it makes sense.
They need the picks to build a winning team.
Yeah that’s what I thought of right away. Any idea what the conditional second is? Is it if he returns for an OA season? With him being so small I think that’s almost certain
Not sure on the condition i will find out shortly though
Great return, I'm going to say the Fronts won this trade by a large margin
great return, though I think it will look good for Flint after two seasons. A few months of Jax Dubois cost...?
That’s what I thought. Use those picks to help flip for some OA’s.
100% agree, FLint can deal with him (the Dad) now. Tibs will get 65-70 points, but stay away from corners and make the same amount of giveaways as he did here.
Mann put his mark on the team. Be interesting to see how flint does
I think they have gotten a lot better today but I do also think they’ve wasted a lot of those picks. I like Thibodeau but never would’ve thought of him going for 7 picks. With him gone I wonder who moved up in depth chart. He was probably going to be a first/second liner.
This is exactly why I wish they got rid of Caputi in the offseason last year. Having a coach for a full training camp and being able to make adjustments to the roster based on the way he coaches and sees the game would have been a million times better than sticking with Caputi for about a month just to pull the chute.
