Looking at the standings :
realistically only team the hounds hope to catch for 8th in the conference i believe is Flint.
Now that Kitchener has made a coaching change and the GM is behind the bench, kitchener
will string some wins together and pull away from the hounds. they have a strong core of
older players and were considered a strong team at the beginning of the year, haven't played
well for most of the year but believe to strong to not make the playoffs.
Flint on the other hand ???
if his peak is going to be a "Ryan Roth" then isn't that a bit of a bust?I have been a bit guilty over the last 2 years of harping on what Cloutier isn't. But I try to remind myself that a player has no control over where they are selected. The more I watch him, the more I see a Ryan Roth type of player. They are the same height, both shoot right and play the same kind of style. If Cloutier can continue to develop into that type of player and that type of production he will be a pretty useful player in the lineup and plays a versatile enough game that he could move up or down the lineup as needed. Obviously not a home run type selection for Raftis late first round, but still a player who contributes at both ends of the ice and nowhere near a complete bust.
BMB has won me over for sure. I was bummed when we drafted him but I'm a fan now. I still probably would take goyette but more than happy with how he's performed on a below average offensive teamWhere would you expect a player like Roth to be drafted? Maybe 3rd round? Sure it's not a good look on the scouts or Raftis since Cloutier was selected late first round, but if he can become that then he's a useful every day OHLer and probably plays mid 6 on a contender next year. Not sure what your definition of a bust is, but I've seen much worse picks. IF he can become that.
Bryce McConnell-Barker has been great. In fact, I'm not sure there is anyone selected top 10 in his draft that I would rather have on this team. Nelson has been great but this team needs Bryce not Nelson. Hope he bounces back after that hit last game. That's at least one feather in Raftis' cap.
Keep your head up Bryce. Not sure why Dean was mad. Absolutely nothing wrong with that hit.
Yeah, Goyette has been superb but he was not taken top 10.BMB has won me over for sure. I was bummed when we drafted him but I'm a fan now. I still probably would take goyette but more than happy with how he's performed on a below average offensive team
Goyette was a steal at 11 overall.Sure, Clattenburg did nothing to deserve it. Just minding his own business.

I think we can all agree with that. I'm just saying I'm trying not to hate the player for where he is picked - not his fault.Definitely not what I'm hoping for from a 1st round pick but that's just me.
Here's hoping we either pick up one or two for next season or one or two of our current guys really pick up their game in the off season...would make for a deadly first linei think he needs an elite line mate though.![]()
