Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[RayzorIsDull]

He is more an offensive style D. Not really what Spits need more of and especially with the expected cost.

I would agree but if the focus is next year then you feel good about Cristoforo and Mews. Figure it out after that. Mews is an NHL draft pick and would help immensely. If you're talking about changes Winegard Eichler Mathurin are all gone after this year figure it out. This means Bowler needs to make a hockey trade. 90% of his deals were either trying to make a run or selling off. It's time to show an overall vision.

I really don't see Windbiel being called up this year because they would have to sit another 08. I also see either Newlove or Windbiel being traded at the begining of next season.

Whichever is traded should bring in a huge return. The other will be Costanzo's backup and be the Number 1 in 2 years.

Good point. The way Newlove is playing and assuming he continues this level of play might mean Windsor could get a good trade.

In Nov 2008 the Spitfires traded for a player from Owen Sound that in my opinion sparked the Spits into playing with grit and helped them win big in 2009. So today's trivia, who was that player?

My answer is Lane McDermid forward

And you would be correct! One of my favorite stir the pot players. Would go through a brick wall to get the puck. We could use a player like that and even more so if that was a big D that won't lose a puck battle.

I wouldnt take Parekh either. Hes not physical nor a big body. Frankly moving someone might wake this team up.
