Good trades.......basically Butler for Sirizzotti and an 11th rd pick
Butler has been disappointing since his draft - not physical enough for his size, just an average skater and a big shot but he needs time and space. Hopefully he can elevate his game with the change of scenery.
Either way he will not be in the league in 23-24 when the IceDogs hope to host the Mem Cup........Sirizzotti, a year younger, will be an OA on that team.
The 2025 2nd round pick they acquired is more valuable than the 2023 2nd round pick because it will be a trade chip in the Memorial Cup season. There will be tough times between now and then but the young players just have to keep developing.
