Windsor Spitfires 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 4)

There is way more to this deal that just Miedema and picks btw…

Hache going with and Cristoforo coming back?

 

[Teflon]

Going all in. You better get the goaltending settled and u may need another D man too. Im hearing deal is done. Players arent very excited!!

 

[Cherrydon]

Isn’t wright suppose to be a pretty good defensive guy? I thought i heard that somewhere. That would help a bit

He is rated as defensively strong as a forward.

 

[Knownothing]

Hache going with and Cristoforo coming back?

Can’t see it but Wright and Hache for Mieds, Christo and picks would be well rec’d.

 

[TheGremlin]

He is rated as defensively strong as a forward.

Thank you. That’s a plus then i guess. I’m trying to be positive here.

 

[OHLTG]

At this point, I just want to know the return...

 

[Teflon]

Yea if Hache is coming its easier to swallow. Im hearing just waiting on signatures.

 

[Knownothing]

Just Wright fixes nothing.

 

[OHLTG]

Just Wright fixes nothing.

I'll worry about that down the road. My focus now is the return.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Just Wright fixes nothing.

Already getting texts from friends/family in Windsor about it - so I disagree.

 

[ohloutsider]

Wright is a better player than Miedema ( right now) and the picks are meaningless. So it would improve the team just not sure it will be enough without 1 more older D.

 

[Teflon]

And your losing cristo!!!

 

[windsor7]

hope this is not a tavares situation..

 

[Cherrydon]

And your losing cristo!!!

Well these players have to sign off on the NTC so who knows what Cristoforo thinking if rumors true.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

And your losing cristo!!!

This is a Tough day as a Spitfires fan.

 

[Teflon]

^ lets see what the return is first.

That’s my point. D and G need upgrades. Scoring is fine. Will SW improve D, yes but not the same as another D. Also need to replace Christi’s minutes on the Blue line and PP.

Just remember you never know. Ebert was suppose to be special and had a pretty good rookie year and it only ended up going south for him.

 

[Knownothing]

^ lets see what the return is first.

Yes I’m ok losing Mieds and Christo if getting SW and a solid defensive D

 

[OHLTG]

Do we know what the suspected return is? I'm guessing Miedema + Abraham or Cristo + picks? IF Hache comes back, that lessens the blow... kind of.

you’re right - Cristoforo is one of my favourite 16 year olds to ever Lace up for the Spits. But you‘re absolutely right.

Assuming Cristo is in the deal, there's going to be some painful years ahead for Windsor. Big guns that could have been traded next season to restock the cupboards no longer an option, and the '06 group run for 2025/2026 looks a lot less promising. Management has all their chips in for this year, while really banking on goaltending as-is to come through for them. Ballsy but scary strategy.

 

[OHLTG]

Marek just said Mintyakov is heading to Ottawa. That was a subtle little bomb...

I think getting Greentree and Spellacy in the same draft helped a bit...

that’s 3 first round talents right there.

Mintyukov reports going to Ottawa
