Mississauga Steelheads 2022-23 Off-Season Thread

[Square Corners]

I know, it sounds like Barrie last year.

Or the Soo 80% of the years!

Probably cause they dont have great goaltending, just my guess.

I expect MISS will go full sell mode. Could see DBB, Beck, Del Mastro and Hardie all moved by the 10th

Beck is back next year. Wouldnt make sense to move him

 

[Steel Fishbowl]

Del Bel Belluz scratched tonight, i'll be sad to not see him in a Steelheads jersey next time he plays. I hope they don't move Beck as I think he is more likely to return than not, but if the offer is good enough it might be worth it in case he makes the Habs next season.

Looking forward to seeing Cooke and Zidlicky get a chance on the 2nd line, hope to see them step up their production with additional ice time.

When are the moves happening?

 

[Roadhog]

With the apparent (urgent?) need to upgrade the goaltending, and Carter George looking like the backup in Owen Sound next year, what about giving OS an 8th for Leland Gill? Or maybe sign undrafted Tyler Hodges from Haliburton? Both are '05 born. @Generalsupdates posted previously about trading Beglieri to KGN for Zhigalov, but would he be back next year an an OA?

Treat MacDonell & Martone well! Two great guys on & off the ice that will wear letters for you guys as soon as next season. They'll be big, big parts for when you guys are on the rise again.

You guys will have a sick team in 3 yrs!

Two years!

Maybe depends on how fast they rebuild and surround JVV , Martone etc..

 

[KyGuy9]

Trade deadline winners, took advantage of the excessive number of teams going all-in. Wish Windsor took your route, going to be fun following your team the next few years!

 

[Roadhog]

Three players sent out, five coming back. This really shakes up the roster.

Delete.

 

[Kristina Hazzard]

They're at three imports with the Zidlicky trade, gotta be another move coming.

He’s not a import he was drafted out of ohl draft

 

[robp1219]

I watched del Mastro at the world juniors and he was excellent. Can you guys give me a bit of a scouting report on del Mastro and del bel bulluz??!

 

[Texcanuck]

Martone is going to be (maybe already is) sooo good. He has all the tools.
Enjoy watching him become one of the best in the league.

Agreed - was the best 16 year old moved in my opinion.

This move will hurt for Sarnia.

Right, thanks. I assumed because he was born in CZE.

 

[Dougie Daryl Clark]

Hey Steelheads, congrats - you just landed your next captain in MacDonell who has skill, speed ,grit and can scrap. In Martone you get a sniper who will eventually put up 40g and stick up for himself and others. Would have been fun to watch these two develop in Sarnia but enjoy!

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Congrats to Mississauga on being the number 1 team in 2024-25 season! These young players are going to be nice watch there. Will get first hand view as the Wolves play Mississauga often enough.

Despite the trades the Steelheads get two consecutive wins in regulation. Like the additions, and the draft picks, next couple of years should be interesting.

 

[Dougie Daryl Clark]

Nice result tonight. All the new kids looked good. Should be a fun ride.

Look up the meaning of "reload". See Mississauga Steelheads logo. They came away like bandits on their trades. Good for them.

How exactly did we get Zidlicky for essentially a 4th and a 5th? I know it’s been just 2 games but he looks fantastic. Is there something we don’t know yet?

No it's something Ranger scouts don't know.

In a perfect scenario, the guys they just got end up turning into Beck, DelMastro Hardie and DellBellBelluz... At some point you need to turn your guys that turn out perfectly into a good team tho unstead of just punting 3 years down the road. Barrie is really good at that too

I certainly get where you are coming from, that when you have the pieces, at some point you need to put it all together for a championship run.

I think you may be underrating how good Martone and Van Volsen may be as early as next year. I'm estimating they will be way better than Hardie, Del Mastro and Del Bel Belluz for sure
