Saginaw Spirit 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

Does anyone know Andrei Loshko a F for Niagara 6’2 190 scoring at over aPPG an OA Import Is he a potential fit. Never seen him play. 4th rder out of Seattle not many teams have room for a OA Import if Niagara levels out they might want to develop some younger prospects which is better in the long run.

The struggle with this is he takes up 2 spots. Usually teams that are going for it may not want those 2 spots taken up. Also may not be worth as much if taking the 2 spots up- he passed through the entire QMJHL waivers I don’t know if he will get a lot of interest here in the O

If he wasn’t an OA I’d say they’d absolutely be in on him. Tough to say. Maybe they try and give it a shot if Niagara’s asking price isn’t too high? Just thinking I don’t believe you have a ton of assets left to spend after the M cup last season

Just thinking I don’t believe you have a ton of assets left to spend after the your right about assets but they can be created very quickly trade Parekh this year for 07 1st + a strong shut down D leaves you a bundle of picks and conditionals. Misa I doubt makes the NHL next season their is another haul. Epperson, Hay,will fetch a few as well. Don’t want to a chance Zayne is NHL or AHL bound next season. Trade him at max value has to be a couple teams that need his skill set.

I don't think Parekh can play in the AHL next season. I don't think he will be eligible to go the AHL based on his age.

He will make the NHL if he puts on some size

If he makes Calgary gets hurt, or not playing well, he can’t rehab or improve his game the AHL if has played to many NHL games. I get he can’t go and just play AHL and been wrong before it’s a coin flip if he comes back.

He is more talented than a lot of depth guys in the NHL right now for sure. Only problem is he is pretty frail and needs to work on the defence. If he bulked up 15-20 lbs and worked solely on defence this year and didn’t worry about scoring a single goal I think we could easily see him in the show next year. Will it happen? Time will tell

No chance in hell even with size. No need to rush him into the tire fire that will be the flames.

So he’s going to be just the 3rd ohl defenceman ever to eclipse 300 points? And first to hit career 100 goals?
