I think he would have great value for a club going for the ohl title. My hope would be to move christo before season and recoup picks and hope a couple of OAs we keep have a terrific year and can be moved by the deadline.
I dont think Windsor will be rebuilding after this season,especially knowing 2 teams from the O are playing in the Mem Cup,the host team and 1 other.
Projection wise this team looks pretty good at early glance.
With the season pretty much over,regular season I mean I have done have projected look at goals returning by returning players for each team in both conferences and Windsor has the 2nd most goals returning at plus 200,I projected Peer,Maillet, Christopoulos as returning OAs for Windsor with Holmes,Sobolev and Jodoin not included but being dealt for various assets.
Sudbury was #1 by the way a few goals.
Along with the 3 OA forwards,you have Abraham, Smith,Greentree, Morneau,Spellacy, Castle,and I expect Martin,Davis, Jack Dean, to make up the starting 12
In goal you have Costanzo and Carter Froggett, with Tye Altiman being the 3rd goalie,Costanzo and Altiman would be 18,and Frogett 17.
On the D you have Dionicio, Christoforo, Deangelis, and Woodall for starters
While the draft board is very light,1st rounder then nothing to the 6th,it will incumbent to draft smart especially 1st rounders in all 3 drafts, Entry draft, Euro draft,U18 ,2nd rounder in Euro draft,and 2nd and 3rd picks in U17.
As well target 17 and 18 year old free agents more strongly, last year's draft has already got 5 signed,with Dean and Frogett both 6th rounders probably signing, and there might be 1-3 others signed,1 or 2 and a forward.
This past draft I think will yield the best and most talent in years.
You can and would get picks for the OAs I would advise on moving,also talk to American players who be could be picked in 6th and 7th rated higher but will make team here.
Need to hit a homerun in the Euro draft at the D spot work with NHL teams here and get an 18 guy in here.
I am well aware what I am proposing will not be favorable to all,and admittedly were it not for a strong draft this year,the ability for Bowler to make good trades,find free agents Peer is one,heck McManus has been good too,wish he was an 04,would play here next year,I would think rebuild not so much with the expected return lineup and prospects.
Greentree, Peer Harrison (possibly) Castle, Smith all being highlighted will make up for Maggio. Christopoulis 50 plus? Healthy Abraham for a whole season. Offense shouldn't be a issue.
Harrison has signed with Boston, Maillet stays here in my view.
