Then we're going to have another great draft year and 25-26 will be insane.
I understand why people would be apprehensive tog giving Costanzo the number one spot… but he was our Starter last year, and he will be this year. At least to start. If someone challenges him and takes it Frogget/Altimann/Maybe…. MAYBE Windbiel, Great. But I have zero doubts that Costanzo is the current plan for this season as the #1 Goalie on the roster.
I've figured out what to do with Winegard and Smith, hopefully the Spitfires have too lol.
Eichler's Import draft dependent. Martin would be a fine 3rd/4th line guy on this team if we need the body (although it seems we've got better/younger options if we're just looking for size) and Morneau will be a mid-line guy, that we hope can generate some draft stock, and if not ends up being one of those OHL-Career, heart and hustle Spitfires.
We have room in the 04' Category and the assets to add a mid-tier D-Man that can eat up #2-#3 minutes if need be, but I'd rather struggle a bit and save anything for a year were actually going for it.
I really don't think the organization expected Greentree to carry Windsor to a great playoff push as the 17 year old captain.
I think Bowler and crew are smarter than they lead on. They knew the team was going to struggle, we knew it was a rebuild, and they through Smith into the fire in a sink or swim situation, knowing if he failed they could easily write it off on moving on from him, and not have fans upset they turned their back on a long time organization guy. It was a year they were cleaning house on more than just the 03's after the failed push the year before.
