Windsor Spitfires 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 5)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Congrats to the organization. There are 3 1st overall caliber players here, you can't go wrong with either one, so I am good with whoever they pick.

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

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.

Post below not directed at you.

Wow for a team the OHL hates as much as I read on here they have gotten great draft lottery help ;) 2x drafting higher than % would suggest. Maybe they should leave the system as is lol ( seemed to be some paranoia on here about the process.....I'm sure it's all good now)
The fact they missed on Miedema....they still caught a break that year ;) and this year.

Good on Spits n fans for grabbing #1, hopefully it puts to rest the " ohl hates us " rhetoric :)

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.

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!

A guy l like Sergachev would make me pleased,knowing of course said player won't be a Russian.
 
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.

Should be interesting.
