Well I guess that draft pick at spot 7 is the end of Beglieri
he was an easy 1st round pick in his draft year to the O.The Del Monte trade seems like a low risk pickup for the Steelheads, he has a lot more to show offensively in this league if he can stay healthy. Wonder what the conditions are on the pick, and I hope the pick is a mid-rounder at best if the conditions are met.
As for the current goaltending situation, I believe Leenders is likely already worth at least a 2nd and probably more if he keeps up his current trajectory. When this team is ready to compete, they could offload one of the two goalies and not lose out on too much value
Former IceDog who struggled do not know if he improved in Mississauga.North Bay has just made a trade with Mississauga:
Mississauga gets a 6th in 2024, North Bay gets LW Brice Cooke.
Any Mississauga fans lurking in this thread - can you tell NB fans the type of player the Troops are getting in Cooke?
Perhaps Missy could explore being on the other end of an Owen Beck type deal with Kitchener where Rehkopf and Ivankovic are the primaries?Talk on the Ottawa board about Beck possibly available as an OA and the Sauga being one of the interested parties, with a young tender being moved a part of the deal. I'm no GM but I see Leenders being a lure for a bigger fish going forward and a back fill move to deal with the net this year at some point.
Beck has been oft injured and is coming off shoulder surgery, and under a PTO with Carolina, might be an interesting topic. Let's face it, both drafted goalies in the first two rounds two years in a row pretty much screams trade at some point soon.
Does anyone know the status of Kai Schwindt? I had assumed he would be returning, but have also heard he may be playing pro in the Panthers system. Boudreau doesn't seem like a bad replacement if that's the case
