Good for 13 deserves it! There should be more on the central scouting list from our team like 5 and 12 surprised they left off and others in league are on list.
We will have 13 on next years team as NHL prospect atleast. That's a Start for this rebuild.

Barr, Brown will definitely have NHL draft interest next year & I won't be surprised if Hurt gets some too. Be awesome if Bridgewater or Luecke can too but that's obviously TBD.

I am pretty shocked Wainwright isn't getting some sorta love. Elite skating, hard worker, 2way with growing offensive game. Still might get drafted late, very least be a FA invite. Young has great tools to work with. He'll definitely get an invite I think. Both have taken such big jumps..been fun to watch them.

Totally agree could be pretty special group in future.
5 and 12 both deserve interest (12 was injured early so might have affected points and position in depth chart being stationed on 3rd line) played solid energy and 200ft game mostly on 3rd line.
5 is getting good minutes qnd bigger part of offense should be on some lists, I'd say if not would be crazy not to invite him to camps. Think both guys will come out of NHL camps next season at the least.

Is 25 too old to get drafted?
What about 21 and 26?

Some more good nights for Sting prospects:

Evan Maillet - 33/35 saves. That pushes his save percentage up to .913 on the year

Carter Timmins - 2A. He's picking up his play lately with 9 PTS in his last 9 games

Chris Soares - 1G. His 18 goals on the season are the second most by a U18 player in the OJHL

Casey Bridgewater - 1G. He has a 1G/6A over his current four game point streak

Another Sting prospect doing well. Is 2022 drafted D David Green who has 13g and 27a in 42 games for St Micheal's in the ojhl.
 
Surzycia starts tonight and Fischer is back so ignore my previous post and it looks like Kukumberg may be a healthy scratch.
 
These last 2 games against Guelph the officiating has been pretty one sided. And Lominac almost loses us a PP man he takes alot of dumb penalties.

Like to see sting playing a tough game like this where they have to get scrappy. Good for some of the younger guys.

PP still ugly as sin but can’t complain about 2 PPG

So all throughout regulation/PPs Brown, Kostuch get consistent shifts including late but don't touch the ice in OT. Neither did Wainwright who's FAR and away their best player for 3on3. Yet Moses Way Schwindt all get multiple shifts. Jesus Christ.

Battled hard. Nice to see them go right back at an older Gue team physically. Onto a slaughter in the Soo, Sunday.

Agree, wainwright is probably stings best 3 on 3 player but gets the bench In OT!
Brown and Wainwright not seeing any confidence from coach letang. To have more confidence Coach has to help with that. Whatever 1 point is better than 0
2 OT losses to Guelph maybe look at previous game tape and and actually learn from it coach!!! I see same guys were out there with Same Result..
Thought Moses Hall and Lomanic had 2 really good heavy shifts when they were together alot of grit and energy.
Need better effort and less mistakes for a game with Soo hopefully can clean up but keep the grit.

Frustrating result to what was a pretty good game by the Sting. The PP was much better tonight because they embraced the ugliness. They didn't try to get fancy. Instead they were trying to get traffic in front of the net and guess what it worked! Went 2/4 on the PP with both goals coming out in front of the net. First was a jam play by Sikic that squeaked out in front of the net and Schwindt pushed it in. Second one was a shot by Doucette that led to a rebound that Schwindt poked over to Sikic who jammed it in. Only problem with the game was their lack of discipline in the second period. Dumb penalty by Young leading to the Bowman goal and then a dumb play by Fischer that lead to the Namestnikov goal. Surzycia played a decent game. He made some really big stops but ultimately neither the second or third goal can go in. Both plays he's not screened and the puck gets through him. Have to have the easy stops in order to win a game like this

So I was watching Seca's interview on sting buzz last night. And he said a couple things that worry me a bit. He said there still focused on making the playoffs and they're hoping not to get a lottery pick. IMO the smarter move is to miss the playoffs and get a high end pick. There's no point making the playoffs just to get smoked 4 straight how does that help anyone all it would do is upset the players and fans even more.

Also something else he said. Is that he thinks highly of the top D in this draft. I really hope they don't focus on D when we really need offense. But picking a D would be a totally Sarnia move.
 
Also last night Kukumberg was a healthy scratch. I wonder with his play since coming back from injury. If the staff are starting to consider using 1 or both are import picks. Which is another reason I don't want us making the playoffs so we can get a higher pick there. Also been hearing they may allow Russian and Belarussian players this year.

I feel like this is him just talking... he's never gonna say yah were tanking.... but you never know tho... this organization is dumb enough to think getting the 8 spot and losing to London 10-0 while losing on a lottery pick is a good thing.
 
End of the day when has a team ever said "yah our hope is to actually lose 95% of our games & miss so we can get a lottery pick & avoid a round 1 loss"

Teams definitely think it haha but will never say it. That's 2 extra games of revenue as well for them.

Id be shocked, legitimately shocked if they took a D high. They never take D in RD1 as is let alone when they have Barr Hurt Fischer Young Omeri Bridgewater. Especially with the glaring need up front

They are still "trying" to make the playoffs in Windsor. They are 9 points back with 349 winning percentage. Reality is? But they will never hint at a tank because they can't sell tickets if they are trying to lose games.

Kids still play hard so that's what matters.

Just watched the interview as well. always appreciate Dylan's honesty. Very upfront about stuff which I like.

He definitely couldn't hide the grin about some of the Dmen in this draft. But did say there's some high end Fs at the top. Goalies not so much haha.

I'm all for rebuilding from the backend out but at this stage F is definitely the much bigger need come the draft.

Yah you cannot take a d man with a top 5 pick.. you just can't ... there will be plenty of good dmen in the early 2nd and 3rd rounds.... Our second round pick will basically be a first... It's a forward run league ... I will say Oliver Bonk is probably my favourite player in the league tho.
