Nyman has indicated he is heading state side, he will likely end up in London. If I was picking from what I've read Belchetz might be worth a 1st or second pick. I would be looking to land him. But all of the above would be talented players so can't see a bad pick in the top 4.
Scouting report February. Elite hasn't updated theirs since February 1 2023. Maybe German Spitfire will shed latest rankings soon. Belchetz is compared to Greentree. Wassilyn big time hard shot. Valentini playmaker.
Need a actual full coaching staff that knows what they r doing would be a start.
I still think the plan has to be to build around the 06’s. So when drafting 08’s we’ll need guys that will adjust sooner than later. Unfortunately, if there’s two next to equal skilled players, you have to take the bigger one.
Agree. Regards to Greentree, he is a good offensive quick shot threat but his 200 ft game is poorly lacking to move onto the next level. He'sphysicalbut not physicalenough to slot in on a 3rd 4th NHL line. He is not a center. He'll be picked mid to late 1st round by a team already making the playoffs. Make work project. Not quite a 20o ft Cuylee type player yet. Back next year and possibly 25-26 season. Would not surprise me if a slow to develop NHL team picks him.
Crazy thought.
Agree with both comments. Greentree needs more time. Tons of talent but needs to up his foot speed and his D game . Similar to Cuylle. will be a beast in the OHL in 2 years.
If team sucks next year and chance he won't return for a 25-26 season. Yes. If team looks poised to make a serious 25-26 season run and nhl draft team wants a slow development. No
It would not surprise me.....mismanagement has set this team into a downward spiral.
Doubt you will get your wish,one bad season season sends a bad message to prospective applicants,especially after overall 2 excellent seasons before this one,so if 1 bad season rules then Peterborough better fire their GM then,jr hockey is cylical,Spits didn't make playoffs in 15 and Rychel didn't lose his job.
Their not trading a likely 1st round marquee player who has 2 more years. As HL said they have hit rock bottom. So has the Pete's and Sarnia. It is part of the process ( except for a couple of teams) . I'd drather have this than be like Owen Sound who is middle of the pack every year. At least the Spits take a stab at winning it all every few years. Their skilled players will be a year older and hopefully a quality coach to guide them. Looking for them to be into the playoffs next year and a go year the year after. Be safe.
I’m thinking after next. Greentrees had 2 years of OHL eligibility, Johnston played 3… Granted one of those was fully lost to Covid, so we only saw him for 2. Could Greentree be at this time next year, where Johnston was? I wouldn’t put money on it, but I think so. Greentree posting up 35 more points with a year more of development, and better developed line mates, isn’t out of the question.
I’m worried about him gone for 25-26, I really think that’s the year to go. I don’t expect the Johnston situation with anyone really, but there are those rare cases it happens.
I don’t rule it out. Depends who drafts him. If he’s looking gone for 25-26, He could be moved for a highly ranked 07 prospect. Hate to put stuff on one player, but a push for a run in 25-26 is heavily reliant on our 23-24 captain
Still think next year is going to be rough. They will improve in areas but too many holes to fill. What's being overlooked is with this type of year and turnover is so many terrible habits they have picked up.
