I agree - not too many sure thing spots on the Spits this year. D'amigo, Douglas, Ladd, Staios, Morgan, McDougall, Corcoran, Boka, Foudy and Purboo are likely the only ones that will get a by onto the team.
DiPietro - not sure what to think of his future - I could see him being moved or sticking all year with the team. Not too often you can have a goalie of his calibre around. I actually would like to see him for another year but I do understand there may be a need to move him for the future. Has to be a tough problem to have for Warren.
100 percent correct re the roster next year. even then im not sure boka or purboo finish the year. that said its way better then last year when we had to rely on kids not good enough for other teams vs our own drafted players. really only 8 of the above names will be a part of the next winning cycle. expect to get a heck of a return for dipietro (tolni in ottawa would be outstanding), but also next year we take a bigger step back without brown/luckuk et al to drive the offense. no dipietro after jan will be an issue.
that said thats not a bad thing, thats how you win, draft well, draft high and capitalize.
