Rafkin's reporting to Spitfires is questionable.
Rafkin is already committed to play in university of Denver NCAA team season 2020-2021 so he might stay to USHL.

Judging by everything that's been published so far, I can't see him not reporting. He's indicated he likes the city, likes the team, and knows people here.

Anything I've heard he is coming, but it is never a sure thing until he signs.

I know we have went over this ad nauseum TG.....but this is an opinion board be it positive or negative.I guess you cant seem, to grasp the concept.
here's my positive of the day for you............
Adding the players they have in the off season has to make
the team better.
The returning players are older, stronger and more experienced, has to make team better.
have to get out of 1st round at least to make successful season

1. I know the concept, but you have to admit that it's funny that people complain when nothing is done, and STILL complain when something is done. I seriously chuckle at it. Kind of a charm of this place.
2. 100% agreed that this season needs a first-round win. There's no other option. You've replaced Campbel, Garagan, and an empty space with Johnston, Zito, and Afanasyev. That's a win before you even hit the ice (though, I really did like Campbell).
A little late to say a must win 1st round.
Maybe they should of been looking into this concept a bunch of years ago? Instead of either not making playoffs at all or being swept.

Spits announcement Thursday morning at 11. Could be signing of Rafkin. Will have to wait and see.

If it's a management shuffle, I would then not expect Rafkin to publicly sign till after the"new" management is announced. Kinda of a " well looky what we can do" Rafkin posted via Twitter back in May thanking his billets and wished them the best moving forward and feels he will always have a second home there. So that spells out not if he will sign more of when.
hes coming. i dont know if hes signed yet only because im not sure if hes in north america or not right now.
this has been brewing for quite a while. i think rychel was done in april once the team was done personally but i dont know that 100 percent.
teflon has suggested that he was pushed, i think he walked, doesn't really matter as hes now gone and we enter into a bit of an unknown with the future of the team. theres also no doubt that bowler got the job due to his relationship and less his resume.
lets hope its more of a mike mckenzie situation vs a joey burke/dave reid situation
team has 3/4 guys that could lead them to some significant success, not sure this move helps that, but well see.

Not surprised, Rychel wasn't in Buffalo this week neither was Evola. It was all Bowler.
