Windsor Spitfires 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 2)

[Knownothing]

Will be a fun night to watch what transpires over three rounds.

Should be a fun night of viewing

Worth noting re: Belchetz - Windsor Star says the kid had options for the USHL, Michigan, and MSU. However, after the OHL Cup, Windsor brought him to town to show him around and the organization sold him.

As for the draft - tonight might be one of the most uncertain starts I've seen in a long time. With so many potential US-bound players, who knows what'll happen, even just in the Top-10. I'm eager to see what Bowler does in rounds 2-3.

A kid who is almost guaranteed to make the NHL, the fastest route is the CHL. I will still feel better after ink to paper signing with the Spits. Not that I think he is contemplating anything else.

So who is everyone here hoping ends up being picked by the Spits tonight? I personally hope we end the night with at least one of Belchetz teammates

I mean, isn't anyone you pick going to be one of Belchetz' teammates?

Teammates from Oakville

Teammates from Oakville

Croskery, Carey, Headrick etc.

Hoping for Hicks at 22 and Garden at 23

Or Cameron but think he’ll be gone

 

[Knownothing]

Emerson to replace Hicks but think he’ll be gone by then also.

 

[Cherrydon]

How many non reporting players will there be? Could really shake up who may be expected available in the 2nd round.

 

[Teflon]

Could be very messy could be typical ish lol. You’ll have a better idea after top ten.

 

[LeProspector]

One of the second rounders will be a flyer me thinks

 

[Cherrydon]

Add in players who make statements of heading South until they fall to the team they wanted to land at in the first place and change their southern interests. Lots of variables and not a ton of time between selections to ponder in the OHL draft. Short clock.

IMHO……no flyers until the 4th round. Anyone picked earlier will be guys who have said they will report. We can’t take to many chances with good picks.

Agree unless like you said, predetermined report liklely.

 

[spits]

Jacob Xu, Jet Kwajah, Cole Emmerton if available will be picked is my guess.

Belchetz' center was Headrick. He is only 5'7 though.

They can only ice so many ‘08’s, though.

It's official and stuff.... Belchetz to Windsor.

 

[Teflon]

So looks like teams arent biting. I like it!

Yep will be interesting to see if Fitzgerald commits to Petes since he just signed in the USHL.

Was there a doubt?

Headrick to kitchener

 

[Cherrydon]

Not upset he's gone. 5'6 1/2 145 lbs.

 

[Teflon]
