Peterborough Petes 2023-24 Season Thread (Part Three)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

If DiLorio gets picked by Sarnia, the Petes need to pick the BPA (Valentini?).
Try and convince him to come but if he doesn't then trade him as a defected player for a boatload of picks and get the #5 compensatory pick next year.
Next year will be another season full of growing pains for these young Petes so missing out on a 1st round 2008 this year won't make a huge difference. The picks they get would go a long way in acquiring players in the future when they are back in their competitive window.
Not sure how things will go but it should be an interesting draft.

I really hope they pick the BPA and they report. Getting one of the top 2008 born players fits the window a lot better than two 2009s.

Oke has done a phenomenal job so I trust his decision making.

Is anyone really surprised with the level of entitlement from the younger generation? Teams buying into it will only make it worse in coming years. Call their bluff and force their hand.

I was in attendance in 1989 for the draft when Soo Greyhounds selected Lindros. That started it all when you talk about being entitled.

Colin Fitzgerald signs with USHL's Green Bay Gamblers. The OHL and CHL is getting a loud and clear message that they aren't the be all and end all league. Never were with the NCAA option. But as a Petes fan it sucks that the OHL can't draw from the best players available, even the local ones.

The Petes are still in a great spot at 3, even if Wassilyn is Niagara bound. 2 or 3 impact players still available. Get one to commit today. With four 2007 firsts on your roster, a lot of ohl fan bases envy your position.

I would just take Valentini and try to get him to commit. Wilson talks all the time about how the Petes program is great and players now want to come here, so in that case they should put those words to the test

Yeah you have to take one of Wassilyn or Valentini and recruit. It worked with McTavish. Petes have a good case to make with the 07 class.

Will be very interesting to see how this works out.

If you can't get Fitzgerald to commit over the summer, are you releasing him/trading him so that you can get the compensation pick?

If you're trading him, what kind of return can you expect to get for a Peterborough kid, that won't play in Peterborough?

Obviously I hope he comes here, but of all the flyers you could have taken, this one may be the hardest to trade (for a good return) with his commitment to Green Bay.

Well let’s hope Fitzgerald commits and if so this is a great pick for the Petes! big kid, fantastic shot and shows up in big ways when the lights are the brightest!

I’d have to imagine there’s a decent chance they think he’s going to commit. Going the defected player route doesn’t fit the rebuild the best. He’s a Peterborough kid who seems very excited about the OHL. Maybe the USHL thing was to avoid Sarnia (nothing against Sarnia).

I’d have to imagine Oke would have went with one of the Wassilyn or Valentini if he wanted the comp pick.
