Not sure how you could not keep Hicks up? He was the best D out there. Also hoping Woodall injuy is not serious.
For me some cuts are pretty clear but we will see.

Well if you keep him then you're going with Costanzo but people have soured on him. I find all of this ironic the team was terrible last year. They add Mathurin to the D and it's the same guys. Adding Hicks is fine but him playing as a 5th or 6th D isn't great for his development. They need to raise the floor for this team and at this stage Hicks most likely doesn't accomplish that. It would be ironic to make Costanzo the fall guy and double down on Eichler/Winegard/Cristoforo(who fans dislike) and figure out Lavigne/Manzo to play on D.Not sure how you could not keep Hicks up?

Hicks and Manzo played well but was not impressed with Hjelholt. Winegard should not make the team but I'm not the gm. Considering this was basically a jrb game players like Winegard, Greenwell, Martin, Outwater should shine. They did not. The rookies looked better. I personally would keep Hicks over others but not sure they can with the limit on rookies and the talent they are showing. Again glad I'm not the gm. Be safe.With 4 regular D not dressed,Mathurin, Christoforo, Walton, and Eichler,then losing Woodall, didn't play the last 44 minutes, that's 5 and coming back from behind,toss in 4 of the 5 best forwards out I will happily take a W on the road and scoring 6 to boot.
I thought Hicks and Manzo played very well tonight best exhibition game so far for Manzo,those 2 will certainly challenge Winegard for the 6 spot,and Hjelholt didn't look out of place and he doesn't turn 18 till December.
Froggett was outstanding overall,in 4 periods of play he has yet to give up a 5 on 5 goal,2PP at Flint and 1 tonight.
Very good in the shootout allowing 2 for 10 is very good.
Joey this must hurt.......better days ahead ?Here are the update goalie stats so far

Actually the 1st 2 games they played the scores were 6-3 and 7-2,and only 1 goal was scored 5 on 5 against so defense and goaltending were not a problem and to boot 3 regular D didn't play each game.Very concerned for Costanzo's play but sounds like he is not 100% yet so did not play the 3rd period.
You really want these kids to do well but Spits need one of these goalies to step up and make a save when you really need a save. Did not see that last night until the 3rd period. The numbers posted above are very concerning. Spits can't continue to depend on winning games 7-6 every night. Yes the D is also a big problem so ----
Costanzo didn't play in those games that I'm aware of?Actually the 1st 2 games they played the scores were 6-3 and 7-2,and only 1 goal was scored 5 on 5 against so defense and goaltending were not a problem and to boot 3 regular D didn't play each game.
Because I believe there has been a "promise" made to one of the rookie goalies to get him to sign. This is just me speculating but it seems to be playing out that way.Unless that's temporary until Costanzo is moved, I don't get this at all. He's been your best goaltender through camp and has more than paid his due.
Have not seen any info on Froggett and London JrB,both Spitfires and London's Jr B rosters have not changed deleting or adding a tender,perhaps a temporary paper transaction only speculation on my part because of lack of definitive info.Froggett assigned to The London Nationals last night.
