Think that is Wishful thinking from the Letang side. He doesn't have a choice if he makes it to end of season that would be lucky, but wont last long in off season. Anyone that has been around hockey at all sees that Letang just isn't right for this team and actually affects it negatively

NB fan here with questions re: Carter Kostuch. I understand he was seriously injured in OTT early Dec. What happened and is he expected back this season or wait until Sept.? Thank you.

Sting have made announcement he will not return in 2024-25 season they haven't ruled out 2025-26 as of now that's good news.

He took a stick to the eye with a lot of force. Was very serious. I had heard recently they were hopeful he was gonna be ok, but shortly after that they put out he's done for the season.

So not sure if its them just being extra safe or if he suffered a set back. Hopefully its the first part & he can come back next season.

Issue is if Legwand is cheap. So far there's been no real indications of that, but with Letang having one more year on his deal some owners would definitely let him finish so they aren't paying multiple coaches. Be a luxury if he stepped into the role, but he might not want too or have his whole family move here.

Not to mention if they figure it out & finish strong to get 6th (unlikely) then how would they view the season? If they get 7th & push Windsor to 6 like they did 3 years ago when everyone expected them to be swept does that do anything?

I know it wouldn't for us, but would it for Legwand & the others up top?

Gonna be a real showcase of what kind of owner Legwand is & what kind of GM Seca is. You cant talk about wanting to be a pro like org & wanting to be taken more serious then not hold ppl accountable when you fail/disappoint/underwhelm like they have this season.

I hope we hear from Seca soon because he usually doesn't pull any punches. He'd be honest if he's disappointed/let down & that would be a bit of an indication.

Surely there is a buy-out clause in Letangs contract... who knows what percentage it is tho.... could be 80... 50... who knows. ... This organization has a way of gaslighting the fans... The choke vs LDN was branded as a success by them and Letang... the casuals ate it up but us on here knew better.... This year they will say ohh rebuilding, were young, what did you expect.... If thats the way they brand this year then I don't feel like many changes are coming.... at this point I feel like the players are tired of Letang and a change is needed... like the players are admitting their prackys are garbage which is a HUGE red flag... The ultimate way for Legwand to save money is to fire Letang, eat his buy out salary and coach the team himself. Also, if you're Letang, why would you want to come back to Sarnia and a GM who doesn't listen to what you want.... Again, I would be shocked if Letang is back but with this organization anything is possible.
 
Not making playoffs anyway while Letang is still here. Just misguided bunch now and with jefferies heading the pp chances fall even further. Owen sound is a well coached team.
