If I read right they said Spits have not picked first since 1976? Anyone can verify that?
yes I believe they took Jim Fox first overall in '76,If I read right they said Spits have not picked first since 1976? Anyone can verify that?

Post below not directed at you.Yes. It did work out or did it? Miedema lol. Not a gem for a 4th overall pick. Odds were even for all that year for teams. If we end up with 4th overall tonight. We lost the lottery lol.
My issue with Valentini is his size, 5'9", 170. He will turn 16 in 2 weeks, so there could (or not) be considerable growth in the next 2 years. However, he does fit what I always say, when in doubt, pick a Marlie.Congrats to the organization. There are 3 1st overall caliber players here, you can't go wrong with either one.
I personally want them to draft Adam Valentini. Leads the OHL Cup in points. He is a center and is a great playmaker. We have plenty of guys that can come down the wing with speed and score need a player 'with eyes at the back of his head' to set these guys up with nice passes.
Spitfires picks this season:
#1
#22
#24
U18
#1
CHL Import:
#3
Branch gave a going away gift to Windsor lol
Still not funny"Will y'all finally shut up about me forgetting the trophy 13 years ago? Thanks."
Apparently he is 5' 11" now. Still growing now.My issue with Valentini is his size, 5'9", 170. He will turn 16 in 2 weeks, so there could (or not) be considerable growth in the next 2 years. However, he does fit what I always say, when in doubt, pick a Marlie.
Never played here,played for Ottawa- 3 yearsJim Fox and I don't believe he played for the Spitfires.
He didnt report. Played Tier II at home the following year then got his rights traded to 67's for Behn Wilson, his brother John and a handful of draft picks.Jim Fox and I don't believe he played for the Spitfires.
A guy l like Sergachev would make me pleased,knowing of course said player won't be a Russian.Players body stats are regularly “adjusted” lol. Teams do their own homework. Bodies can do odd things at this age lol. Very impressive to grab the #1 pick. More so in the euro draft imho. Bowler MUST get some pro help with that pick!
Looking forward to April 12, though I assume that the 1st pick will be announced a couple of days prior to the draft. It usually is.
A good 2nd round pick might be Jacob Xu, D, from the Junior Canadians. He is 6'2" 170 lbs. Needs to bulk up but has size. There are a lot of small Ds this year.
Not sure if we are allowed to post links, but GermanSpitfire has a draft list with 80k views on elite prospects. He has Adam Valentini going #1.Anywhere to find a list?
Anywhere to find a list?
Erie didn't announce until the day before the draft last year. That's probably when we'll find out.nah the way Bowler is so mum on info we prob won't find out until draft day
Remember Windsor has Niagara and Peterborough 's 2nd picks in the draft,so because Ottawa and London get comp picks in the 2nd round the first 2 go there,then 23rd whoever has Windsor,then Windsor has 24th Niagara and 25th Peterborough2024 OHL Draft Ranking - Elite Prospects

As long as Bowler doesn't go after soft players..Remember Windsor has Niagara and Peterborough 's 2nd picks in the draft,so because Ottawa and London get comp picks in the 2nd round the first 2 go there,then 23rd whoever has Windsor,then Windsor has 24th Niagara and 25th Peterborough
Should be interesting.
