Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

Very true but we would need to add a pile of picks with Manzo for a quality player and then you still have 2 less aggressive offensive first D-man. We are going to need those picks to upgrade the OA's and imports with Protas unlikely to be returned. Maybe to a team needing a offensive style D and has an abundance of stay at home physical D. We can't keep all of our roster players and just add. I'm not dealing Nesbitt or any of the 08's, so real trade bait leaves Abraham, Greentree, Spellacy, Morneau. Something has to give. Outwater zero value hurt and little if he wasn't hurt.

Looking at the draft pick situation it isn't terrible but the Spits aren't flush with a war chest of picks either. They have 2 2nds this year but no 4th. Two 3rds in 2026 2 2nds in 2027. Yes next year should be a year they go for it but this has all the makings of trying to make a run but a rebuild right after.

Exactly why we need to move roster players to cause the least pain. It's going to cost picks but we need to keep 1 second rounder for each draft so we are not empty with players for the 08's that we have now. We should be pretty good with our 08 crop this year for 2-3 more years.
