I rate DS performance on trades this year a solid A would move him to an A+ if he moved either MS as OA or ZF. Whoever gives a solid player in return maybe a younger RW or C if DS can conjure something.

I'll take Seca' word on it that they're done. Think they're sticking to wanna have some veterans on the team and try to make it to get experience. Think they'd have to be blown away by an offer and realistically there's much bigger fish available than Sikic, Filak or Doucette.
I'd be Happy with standing put, however in a year like this, MS walks for nothing at end of year and wouldn't change much night after night if wasn't in our line up. Love to see DS get a younger player that needs a chance (just like the leblanc's in off season change if scenery)
DW in O.S would be that perfect player. Let's See what happens today as 12pm is deadline for Our O/A

Sarnia let Schneider go. Signed with a Jr club. Definitely wasted a 7th there. Honestly don't think he's all that bad. Liked his snarl & energy. Would've really liked to have him for tomorrow's game lol.
Especially considering he's 18, MacDonald is 19. But maybe he wanted it never know I guess.

Welp. Beamish commited to Penn State. Exactly what I was worried about. F right off. God damnit.
Just makes getting Kosiba or Quinlan to come over even more important. Big loss for the Sting
Edit: Just went looking at their Elite Prospects pages and Kosiba is committed to Western Michigan. Quinlan is the only one not committed to an NCAA school

Years away they commit more than normal they will send him to Alberta or BCHL and see from there NCAA is a business good for him but if DS came offering the worst de commit comes to mind
I'm just spit balling here. But LDN has yet to really do anything. And they could use some scoring depth and maybe another puck moving D. I wouldn't be against us maybe moving ZF and NY and maybe a 3rd or 4th for HB. He hasn't had a great start in LDN and he would add to our young D. Plus in 25-26 that's Young and Fischer's last year and that would just leave us with Barr in 26-27 as a top D. But if we got HB we would have him and Barr in 26-27. Which would help us have 2 good years instead of just 1 in 25-26. Just a thought considering the prices right now.

London isn't entertaining the asking prices it appears haha. they got to fleece Niagara a couple time & are gonna call it a season, somehow get to at least round 3 & be great again next yr barring Cowan, Dickinson going pro.

Would love HB, despite his stats have seen him live a few times this season and always thought he looked strong. If he can be even a shadow of his brother he'd be a great pickup.
Wonder if London would be willing to part with him for that price (not optimistic lol).

Well Windsor and Flint added (??) While subtracting To try and make playoffs. So Seca' hopes of making it might've taken a blow which is fine with me aha.

By NY I’m assuming you mean MY, Mitch Young? If so, that would extremely foolish of this team. He’s going to be absolutely lights out by his OA year when we’d be looking to run. Will be one of the best d men in the league.
No without D coach, can't let him run wild.
Plus MY probably has worst shot on D corp now.

I'd have to disagree with that. He's got a solid shot. Better than Hurt, Barr, Cajkovic most definitely. Often generates more offense than 90% of our Fs.

Well I guess the same could be said for the rest of the d then…they also got no D coach. Young has been our most consistent blue liner this year. Guess we are watching two different players lmao
Can't agree MY is a Defensive liability just like Kyrou was, but atleast kyrou put up the offense. Don't see how you can compare Hurt/Barr etc 16 year old to a 18 is hardly fair
D
Don't get me wrong, I Like MY and his potential with right coach he can become really good if he is coachable that is?

I only compared them because u said he has the worst shot on the entire Dcore. Barr, Hurt are apart of that Dcore.
He's definitely an offensively leaning Dman..has his weaknesses defensively but he's in his first real season of getting OHL ice time. He's still learning. And they rely on him to create so he cheats more.
Think if there's 1 thing Letang has shown he knows how to develop Dmen & get them to play smart & sound in their own end. Staubitz re signing out of nowhere then Sullivan doing the same in close proximity surely didn't help the team but especially the Dmen. Especially with their age and inexperience

Well that sucks Beamish went NCAA. Was really excited to see him at some point. was really hoping he'd be a key player to make the '07 class that much better. Hurts to cause I remember reading an article after the draft with him saying he really wanted to make the team out of camp.
I hope at least we didn't wait to long and blow it & he had this in his head for awhile. Least he was an 8th rounder & not a high pick like some guys we've taken over the years. Be interesting to see if/when Luecke, Maillet get up for some games. I assume Maillet will only get 2-3 like Langevin the 1 year.
Draft pick wise we are pretty much back to even. Sucks tho as next yr im not sure we'll have to much to sell off to gather more picks for the following seasons.
As for the upcoming week (LDN, SBY, MISS) I just hope we don't lose by a touchdown in every game. Lol.

I can't believe the Mitch Young slander on here lol. There is 0 chance he gets traded. LDN tonight I'd prepare for a blowout. Also, Sarnia needs a defence coach on the bench for next year... please god ditch Haley.
