I don't think you can really count Oshawa. Rumour at the time was that Castle was drafted already knowing the trade to Niagara was prearranged and was instructed not to report to Oshawa and await the trade.tomschman said:

The OHL trade deadline is noon today ..about 20 min away. A few trades still trickling in. So far I Haven’t seen anything re the Spits being done so something minor may yet happen. Saggy visits here tonight so it might be a bit of a cluster with all the deals.

A very good move by the Spits at the last moment. They had too many 2nds in the 24 draft and by making this deal they spread the wealth (as it were) over 2 years.

Windsor now has seven picks in rounds 1-4 in 2024 and five picks in the same period next season. They've got some gaps to figure out later on but solid job by Bowler in filling the holes that were important.

If it works, it works. They were both very open about it on the bench on Sunday. A few fans gave "what the heck?" looks while I just sat there and grinned.
Note from tonight... Donoso starts, Toure is in the lineup, Zito is not dressed yet, and Outwater placed on the IR.
Regarding Outwater - I don't know what the injury was but, when it happened, I mentioned his arm looked like it was slumping as if it was a separated shoulder. Hopefully it's nothing serious that keeps him out for a long period.

Well hard to fathom but the Spits play a game tonight. Lots of new sticks on both sides of the puck . If there was ever a night to steal a game against Saginaw this might be it. Especially with Donoso in net. He can make a big difference. just hope he is ready for lots of 2 on 0's.
Sarnia, Flint and Windsor will Duke it out for 8th. I can see Flint being the playoff team and Windsor in 9th. Really out of our control so just gonna enjoy the ride. Can't wait to see Zito back in the lineup. Be safe.

Right now, they have...
Windsor 1st
Niagara 2nd
Ptbo 2nd
NB 3rd
That's three picks likely in the top 25 or 30 and four within the top 50ish? That's a nice haul.

Before I had noted that Windsor had 18 picks rounds 2-4 in the next 4 drafts,8-2nds,4-3rds and 6-4ths,after today's trade with Brantford its now 19 picks in the 2-4 rounds,with 7-4ths instead of 6 and 16 of 19 of those picks acquired thru trade.

Exciting last Few days, happy with the moves. Bowler pulled a few rabbits out of his hat and im happy with the job he did giving us an exciting finish to the season here and hopefully a run can grab us 8th, sometimes a big reshuffle like this can kick start something good or turn it to shit, but cant get worse from where were at haha.
Sucks Zito it out but id expect him in Saturday. Probably just making sure hes 100 % ready and adjusted. Excited for Donoso to play tonight, hoping for a big game but new environment for him and completely different team infront of him tonight then he has been use to in this league, he will get a good test tonight. Fingers crossed because im rooting for the hometown Kid to lock it down!, Toure is a Man amongst boys out there and im excited to see him out there and hopefully knock some sense into some of our Defense to play a better game.
Expecting the loss but we did give Saginaw a run for there Money a few games back at the Dow. So if we get good goaltending and a few goals, you never know. Definitely going to need a full team effort to steal two points from the Spirit.
GO SPITS GO!!

There's a lot of of anecdotal reports about this but very little proof of the efficacy. This is probably more about convincing yourself that it works rather than medical proof.

Again, "if it works, it works." I'm not a doctor. The players/staff know a lot more about this than I do. If they say it works, then all the power to them. If someone has an issue with that, they're the ones to talk to, not me.

More likely mind over matter, if you think it works, it will.

I understand wanting to get the 4th this year. Still would have preferred them use those 3 2nds. Could take a huge swing at a top american
