Windsor Spitfires 2022-23 Off-Season Thread (Part 8)

[DetSpitsFan]

Who cares about Pitre.

He did nothing in the camp here to make him feel as valuable as he has been to Flint.

Windsor May have misjudged him. Flint could’ve put in the proper tools to helping him excel. Or there very well could’ve been some requirement details/requests that will never see these boards.

“x” minutes of ice. Special teams time. Wants to play with his brother that you’ll need to spend a first round pick on.

Could be any of those or a dozen different.

It wasn’t like he was problematic here, he was never here. For an un-proved pick, we got fair value. And Pitre made the move worth while and has excelled in the position he didn’t ask for, or he did ask for.

Windsor didn’t get hosed if that trade happened now he’s proven his worth, yeah, any team would get more than Windsor did.

Good on Flint for developing a player that very possibly couldn’t have found his footing here given the quantity of guys this organization would have / did put focus into.

Bottom line nobody cares about your grievances with me
Last I knew you are not the forum police and acting like one doesn't make it so.


Nope, you don't care. Don't speak for everyone. I can prove that statement wrong as well. Easily with posts that are public or saved.
Damm if you put the same effort into statistically trying to back up your unfounded attempts at insults or attacks as you do selectively searching for, spinning stats to defend your agenda.......ya might get some cred but ya can't.
Wonder why you dont?
Again you won't defend your attacks or agenda with evidence. Gave ya every opportunity but ya can't do it..Throw mud n when challenged shift n play victim. Got it lol. I'll provide it if ya wanna step up.
And your were the one who said you monitor the forum, you said you would , and I'm paraphrasing " police" the forum.....call out the negatrons, defend the team, not sit by if someone said something you dont agree with ect............it's saved so once again your incorrect, misleading or lying by implying you think Im the police. You said it yourself about yourself, now calling me out lol. Thars hypocritical and misleading to people on here. I don't exoe t nor would I accept an apology. You crossed the line with your personal attacks in my DMs. But you can't own it in public or stand behind it lol. Thats called cowardice as you have also accessed others on here of.
You got dozens of confrontations on here "policing" others thoughts and I got 1 from you lol. Thats rich n right out of many a politicians playbook.

Why u have issues with dozens n I have an issue with 1 person lol, think about it. Think real hard)
It's saved HL. Keep digging.

I really feel for ya BK. To be an issue with dozens of posters takes work. ....... I hope you are ok. I really do.

Bottom line nobody cares about your grievances with me
Last I knew you are not the forum police and acting like one doesn't make it so.

That's hilarious in so many ways

Since ya won't accept the public challenge, wanna let a moderator decide who has lied, broken forum rules...........I'm up for it, are you? We can have a sit down, share posts n info n let them decide.........
Again bet ya won't

Enjoy your summer HL

Here's hoping that Windsor 's 1st pick tomorrow in the 5th is dman Thanasi Marentette from Windsor, tough gritty dman
Looking forward to the rest of the draft today,10 picks in the last 12 rounds.

Honestly, this would be nice.

This. All of this. Hell, I'm sorry I even brought it up. I figured some would like to know WHY the pick went from the 6th to the 5th. Who knew that it'd result in the same stuff for the tenth time?

"Bottom line?" Why cause you said so lol.. sounds like anothrr false statement by you

Or is it just your oponion? False narrative, grasping at straws, hyperbole?......none of those reasons help in a debate but have at it if ya don't got a leg to stand on. I get it.
The "forum police" as you have referenced yourself as in the past and I saved, you now wanna put on me, haha. You posted/ DMd you were that person, you have started issues with dozens of posters, me.......just one.... nice try HL. Funny and so on point for you.

Yell it loud enough and often enough so someone might bite lol.

Long time reader - seldom post Just curious HL Does London not have their own board to post on?? Asking for a friend.

I can understand your question been asked that before and the simple answer is yes they do,though admittedly sometimes you would not know it.
As an aside I would encourage you to comment on this board if you so desire,infact I would welcome it.

 

[windsor7]

My high horse?? Might want to look at yourself in the mirror.

After losses...

 

[hockeylegend11]

After losses...

Or in your case after wins and losses, and in the last 2 seasons alot more wins then loses,same suffocating nauseating responses.

Consistent though.
Didn't go away for long periods after loss..

Yes. And it's not a London thing lol. Not even close but ok.Far from it.
I've offered HL numerous opportunities to have us be open on here n end it but he always stops at that point. He isn't interested in a convo. I wonder why? Any thoughts on that? Or just questions you already know the answer to.

7 posted lots of times last year during the playoff run and was very often supportive and acknowledged their successes and attributes they were excelling at.

If you’re looking for a defender.

You’re looking at a kids like
Carson Cameron - I doubt he’s available when Windsor selects. Strong skating, poised two-way kid.

Nolan Jackson - A kid I was targeting when doing the mock draft, but once Taylor ”fell” to Windsor’s Pick, I had to take him. Raw defensive abilites - but he has the size, and skating you want from a real good defender at this level, defence is coming along but he has the tools to be a really good one.

Lukas Moore - Very good defender. Big body who battles relentlessly, has a good stick, can be physical but has very little offence.

Luke Draguscia - Physical kid that lacks offence. Good defensive game and a kid that other teams are going to hate playing against.

Kieran Reily - Love this kid. Very good defensive kid, good size, excellent mobility with a very good stick. Didn’t play many games this season due to injury but he is such a raw and fascinating prospect.

James Barr - Cam be a difficult kid to play against, good two-way game - can be physical and can provide some offence.

Adrian Manzo - Kid that defends well against pressure, and who moves well. Not the most physical guy, or a kid who will provide the most offence but a kid that I think can log
alot of important minutes one day in the OHL.

Thannasi Marentette - local kid who’s calling is his physicality, intimidating kid to play against. Can be a good defender but has terrible decision making, little offence with a heavy shot.

Spits go Adrian Manzo - who I profiled here

Reyth Smith goes to North Bay - was the Jr.Spits best player this season. Highest selected Windsor born kid.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

In the sixth - Windsor goes Michael Lavigne.

Another impressive defender that is quite physical, great in the corners and moves quite well - a kid I had at 41st in my final ranking.

Offence is limited but I love this selection too.

Spitfires take a swing in round 7 with Easton Pace from the Detroit Little Ceasers.
Very good IQ, offensive kid, scored a lot of points for the ceasers.

Not a guaranteed commit.

There's often that one kid in camp who makes you go "ooooooh!" He could be it.

 

[hockeylegend11]

Flyers r common in later rounds.

Though last year Windsor took Spellacy in the 3rd and he turned down 5 Division 1 offers in football,was guaranteed when drafted and we saw what happened.
I doubt I will acknowledge that one or u can prove me wrong

So 3rd round is later rounds now?

You missed the point can guarantee he has been spoken to,otherwise pick him later,and like I said worth the gamble.

I responded to what u said.
I don't think 3rd round is later rounds...

 

[hockeylegend11]

I don't think 3rd round is later rounds...

And I responded not always later rounds and gave u perfect example Spellacy and you didn't acknowledge it,plus with 11 picks instead of 15 or 16,u can bet discussions have been held with prospective players and he would be 1 of them.

Guess we both don't understand...
3rd round not later.

Every draft is different depending on number of picks,relationships with prospective players,Spits have a devoted Michigan scout ,American picks are flyer picks early or later,for me situational, but we can agree to disagree.

Just stating 3rd round not late was all to start with. No explanation needed.
