The squad won't quite be a contender, but I can see them being possibly 4th in the conference. Some players will be traded to recoup picks. They are in a good spot considering how good the rookies have been this season. Most teams that are all-in have traded all their top rookies, ie. Sarnia.
I would like to have Harrison back,except I would move him for assets,I hope you are right,but I could Boston sending him to East Coast League as well,if that were the case,then here and Windsor could decide to keep or move.
Quite frankly prior to this season season,with Johnston graduating early and Zito asking out,it left Windsor with 125 goals from 305 returning and I was concerned about being in the top 6,then Colton Smith arrived,the 3 16 year olds came in,great production from Maillet, Peer,and Christopoulos, aside from solid play from the D,namely Deangelis, Sobolev, Renwick and the emergence of ,Costanzo and it was like look at this,increased production from Abraham added even more,then all the trades it's been amazing and many who have contributed can return next year,so I am optimistic Bowler will work his magic again,I would not rebuild yet.

I honestly think next season IS the time to rebuild. You might not see a full focus towards the 05s and 06s, but it's as good a time as any to deal the veterans, recoup a ton of picks, and focus on the future. Sure, nobody expected this season's production but that doesn't mean you'll capture lightning in a bottle again.
Interesting to note that Kitchener is resting several key players and only have 5 defensemen while London has a full lineup. Kitchener appears to have no intention of winning this game, I guess they rather play the Spitfires than the Knights in round one.

Originally I thought the Knights would play last nights roster but...
It is the last home game of the regilar season so it makes sense they would ice the full roster for the hometown fans.
Of course Brochu starts, hes an OA. Same with Diaco and McGurn. London will have the Farewell Ceremony for the OAs today.

Let's finish the playoffs before we start " trading" players.
Kitchener and Guelph ( I think ) have had top 4 team points, 2nd halfs if that makes sense lol Flint is probly close as well, at least to mid pack. ( I could be wrong and pleaee correct if so )
Should be fun to watch how it plays out.
Gotta figure Sarnia, Wind, KTown, Guelph, LK, Flint in that order or close to it had the best post deadline records.

Definitely not. Probably five or six games. On paper Kitchener has a top 4 roster.
Ironically Spits goalie Mathias Onuska went 3-0 against Kitchener this season allowed 11 goals,3.65 average, 2 games in Windsor ,1 game in Kitchener while Joey Costanzo went 1-0 against Kitchener allowing 2 goals in a 6-2 win at Kitchener in Dec.
You dont think Savard will pick Onuska to start because of this and his 4-1 series win last year against Kitchener.?

Except I didn't mention a trade first, simply responded to the idea.
As for Kitchener - they'll give any team a good run. I'd expect six games.

Congratulations to Maggio winning the scoring title. No one left in the games tonight that can realistically catch him. Spits 2 years in a row with that honour. Enjoy the ride.
. Go Spits Go!!!

Saggy scores 3 goals in 3 minutes to erase a 2-0 deficit. End of one. Sag win we get Owen Sound, regardless of what London does.

Saginaw blew multiple leads and lose to OS. Kitchener is the 1st round opponent.
Bit of a tough break in my opinion. The difference in rosters between OS and Kitchener isn't even close. London gets OS.
Earn the #1 seed and have to play a team with 6 NHL picks and a goalie who just won an OHL Championship. Kitchener conceded today's game by resting guys so it appears they preferred to play WIndsor. Hopefully make them pay by blowing them away quickly, but I think it's going to be a longer series. My guess is Spitfires in 6.
Anyone know if a team with 6 NHL drafted players ever finish as low as #8th? First time I've seen it.

Hey Rangers come on down. You get the team of your choice with the lineup you decided to ice today.
