Weiss played in UNO's exhibition game vs Manitoba on 10/7. He had 1G and 1A and was 3rd star of the game. He has not played in any of UNO's 10 regular season games so far. Could not find any info on whether he was injured or a healthy scratch.
Why do we even care about this guy? He will likely never show up. As well, for the same reason that Brady Hinz was moved, a guy listed at 150 lbs or less will get steamrolled in this league, as well as likely playing soft one-way hockey.
Hard to believe Hughes was drafted in the second round, second goalie behind DiPietro in 2015 ... So no first round pick from 2015 on the roster ..... no first, second, third or fourth round pick from 2016 on the roster. Good to see Ottawa is 17-3 and using the players and picks wisely. Lets not Forget we still owe Ottawa a Second and Third round pick this year .... a Third in 2020, a conditional 2nd in 2021 and 2022. LMFAO. But Hatcher gave us a LED screen, all is forgiven.
I guess my expectations were too big for this team, as usual. IMO Sarnia is not following the Jr. Hockey cycle.... Tank, spend, tank, spend, tank, spend is not the Regular, for Sarnia yes, other teams no.... When you spend teams are usually good for more than half a year.
Ya they have been good, bad, good, bad so far... but the second year they should have been a solid team nobody expected konecny, cychrun, and zacha to all move on... in my opinion all 3 should have been sent back.
I am not sure how NHL teams decide on sending guys back. I also don't know how London consistently gets their NHL guys back, if they make agreements with NHL teams or something like that, but, Sarnia needs to start doing something similar.
For me, I am only negative because I was so positive last year and ended poorly. This year its Perreault and Eliot. Perreault has shown some pretty impressive skill and ability to score. Looks like a natural goal scorer, doesn't panic with the puck, always in the right place it seems. I think he will be a point per game player this year and I can see him challenging 100 pts in year 2. Eliot has improved a ton... 17 pts in 18 games thats impressive especially when he had 3 pts in 16 games last year. Seems more poised and confident.
How much would it cost to get him? He looks to be a lot more steady then what we have... Hughes and a player in return?
It’s a really tough call as to whether the sting should upgrade to a better 1999 goalie. Assuming he’d be around for an OA year, you’d get a year and a half out of him. Now, WITH a goalie this team could finish 5th or 6th in the conference and maybe steal a round in the playoffs. But realistically, is that where the team wants to go? Unlikely to get past 2nd round at best.
For me, Perreault, of course, has done everything I could expect from a first rounder, and more.
Wanting to be a #1 and having the ability to be a #1 are two different things. If you base your assessment on last year's numbers, keep in mind Niagara was a pretty good team. This year they started strong and have struggled due to injuries and magically the numbers change. Don't pick your goalies by numbers alone or you may be disappointed in the results.
