North Bay Battalion 2022-23 Season Thread

[StingUpdates]

My guess:
Bloom-Jackson-Ertel
VanSteensel-Arnsby-MacDonald
Petrov-Zito-Wakely
Tarasevich-Proczyscn-Romani
Therrien

Winslow-Nelson
Lukin-Christopolous
Hislop-Kennedy
Mathurin
Brzustowski
Turley

Impressive. Not sure a team in the league can match that F depth.

The forward depth is nuts!!! Sadly I have to see them play the Wolves 7 more times. Yikes!!!

Petes could with Wright. Flint probably could match. It would be tough for the rest. Do-able, but tough.

Just a weird feeling….

Bloom-Hackson-MacDonald
Petrov-Wakely-Tarasevich
Zito-Arnsby-Ertel
Van Steensel-Romani-Proczyscn

Nelson-Hislop
Winslow- Christopoulos
Lukin-Brzustowski-Kennedy

Sure; why break up Petrov-Wakely-Tarasevich.
But Hislop is the clear #3 LD if Winslow is healthy

Feels good to have multiple big acquisitions done while competitors play fantasy GM to try and keep up (which I predict they will not be able to)

Excited to see the new addition tonight.

 

[The Green Tank]

Zito had 3 goals last time he played at the gardens. He is playing with Petrov tonight. This could be a dangerous duo. Zito is also tough as nails. Looking at potential line combinations (assuming McDonald is healthy) it’s shocking that Romani, OVS and Tarasevich could be on the 4th line. My guess would be….

18JB - 26KJ - 9JE
22MP - 27PZ - 19KM
15AR - 11LA - 14DW
16OVS - 21EP - 12NT

How hard is GM Dennis working the 'Fantilli camp' now. Could you imagine....................

If only he was disgruntled and not scoring at will in the NCAA

Exactly. Been there done that. U of Mich is not a powerhouse this year. He's not playing 4 years there anyway. He's at least Top 3 guaranteed in this year's NHL draft. Come play with all your bantam/midget buddies and hopefully play well into May.

He will almost certainly not be coming to the OHL before he is NHL drafted.

Hypothetical situation with Fantilli reporting next year. Does that extend North Bay's championship window or aid in a massive sell off and recoup every lost asset +

I would say if you're going to come to the OHL, come this year. Best chance for a championship run. Next year at 19, he probably stays in the NHL. If he wants to play OHL next year, the sell is on!!

Good chance he turns pro immediately.

All of the top four is NHL calibre right now, arguably.

 

[dirty12]

Have to think Fantili does not come to the OHL this season to keep AHL as an option next season

 

[Samee987]

Wow! Who is the Marketing / PR genius?? Take some used Centennials jersey, remove the logo and put a tank on it.... Major disappointment.

doubt he plays one day in AHL kid is a stud

 

[LDN]

Do you feel you are now the top team in the Eastern Conference?

 

[LDN]

These are badass

 

[190 is almost 206]

Do you feel you are now the top team in the Eastern Conference?

At this point, yes.
My fear is Ottawa adding Del Maestro and then he and Matier doing the same thing that Xhekaj and Kammerer did to our forwards last year in the Conf. final.

 

[Square Corners]

There saying because if he comes to the OHL this year and gets drafted from here then he cant play AHL next year (the problem Wright/Clarke are havinh). If he stays NCAA and gets drafted then he can play either

The thought could be that it doesn’t matter about keeping any AHL eligibility because he isn’t going to need it.

Yeah, 3rd jersey is badass!

Not sure if a tank on a jersey, with 2 Russians on a team respects the Ukraine and its many citizens of that background in Canada.
