Sarnia Sting 2023-24 Off-Season Thread

What American are the Knights going to pull out of the bushes & draft ?

Windsor is going to have a huge team...and they have 2 early 2nds

 

[StingUpdates]

Won't lie it's nice to see everyone else taking this small players. Multiple guys listed at 5'6/5'7/5'8. Obviously they can grow but man such a risk in the 1st round taking guys that small..

We saw with Voit. Won't get a much better agile, shifty, creative, passing F than him. But you instantly get massive limitations.

 

[DarkRedxJ]

I agree. Hopefully that's what they target with one of their 3rds or 4ths.

Big mean guy. Like a bigger F too. But see what's available!

Wouldn't mind taking a swing at Nyman with one of are 3rds or 4ths if he's still avalible.

damn Windsor just got a real nice player in Carter Hicks.

 

[StingUpdates]

Huge run on D. Sucks for wanting a gritty Dman but also good for us when F and G are bigger needs.

 

[DarkRedxJ]

Jacob xu may be a good pick in the 3rd.

 

[davewheeler]

buzz back to back picks coming.....

 

[SarniaStingFan]

I like the Di Iorio pick. I got to watch him in the OHL Cup quarters vs the Mississauga Rebels. He was really tough for other teams to slow down once he got going. The coaches trusted him when Vaughan was 4v6 late in the game and he laid out for a block in that situation. He had a heavy shot and has good hands. Also worth noting the head coach of Vaughan was former Sting member Daniel Sisca and one his assistants was Justin DiBenedetto

 

[StingUpdates]

Some names ranked high that have fallen.

Alex Hage.
Weston Cameron.
Jacob Xu
Cole Emerton
Kale Mace
Gage Brandon

I would love to see them take a goalie with one of their two picks this round

Chase Gaughan…. Never heard of em

 

[davewheeler]

Wow Sarnia chose Beckham Edwards..... fingers crossed.

 

[DarkRedxJ]

Chase Caughan and Edward Beckham both centre's.

Never heard of Chase but damn massive flyer on Bckham Edwards.... I like it tbh.

Beckham Edward's.

Better get Beckham Edwards to sign, from komoka but played in detroit, he sounds elite! They said he’s a first round talent and was always the best player on the ice when they seen him.

 

[StingUpdates]

Would love to have an opinion on Gaughan. But no 0 about him. Had someone DM me after the pick that he was easily his teams MVP at the OHL cup.

Edwards is a huge swing. Would've been a top 10 pick probably. Big. Skates well. Pro ready shot. Seca is usually honest about their chance at getting guys so I'm really intrigued to see what he says about that pick.

Caughan had 48pts in 22 games.

 

[stinger94]

Love the Beckham Edwards pick after the safer Di Iorio pick

 

[robp1219]

Caughan by far and away the best player on his team, the team he played for was always competitive when they played in the big tournaments. I would think he commits. Hopefully they get both since they drafted two Americans back to back in the third round and didn’t have a second round pick, they must think they can get atleast one if not both over.

Any time a Caesars kid is drafted by Sarnia I immediately think of the Legwand connection. If Legwand could convince Beckham to come... watch out.

 

[robp1219]

I hope they draft a big defenceman and maybe a goalie if they like one in the 4th round.

Sting do have a fairly good track record of late of getting American kids to come. gotta think Legwand has some pull here
