Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[ScoutLife4]

Sounds like you guys got Luke Mcnamara from Kingston.

Why?

 

[OHLTG]

I'm intrigued (big 05F with reasonable offence), but the cost... ?

 

[ScoutLife4]

Why?

You would have to ask your GM that.

 

[windsor7]

Why?

Exactly

I'm intrigued (big 05F with reasonable offence), but the cost... ?

Bowler should focus on other positions...

I remember the last big 05 forward the Spits got from Kingston.

Well maybe Outwater won't be back?

Moved off the contending Spirit last year. And if he’s on the move I imagine it’s because Kingston/Spirit deal that’s rumored, would require the Fronts to make some space up front.

He’s like a career .5pt/gm player, with very minor improvement in production.

I liked hearing we were in talks for Hay way more. Both 05’s, Hay would add more than just his stats IMO.

Luke skates nicely but is soft and has had trouble scoring the past 10-12 games.

 

[DetSpitsFan]

Can we send him back in this deal? Lol

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Possibility of that since his injury is lt. That doesn't mean he won't be in the hunt for an OA spot next year though.

There has always been some bad blood between McNamara and Saginaw...with the proposed deal with KGN/SAG maybe it was part of the deal to move him along.

Nobody likes him (allegedly) on any team he has been on.

Heard he out for the season

 

[Teflon]

I wouldnt take Hay for a bag of pucks! Why if it is Luke. Last thing we need is more soft with little upside. That Gibson deal is brutal for oshawa imho.

Also hearing Outwater all done.

I’d take Ethan Martin over Outwater anyday. Better size, not so damn soft on the puck. Martin with 4 points in his last 10 played, Owen with 2.

You take out the Rangers massacre early in the season, and Outwater has 10 points in 25 games. As a guy that was supposed to score... not great.

I know there’s always been hope with Outwater being a former first round pick, but let’s just admit Kingston made a bad pick, and Bowler would be better off if he had those two 3rds and 4th we lost in that deal.

He’s Oliver Peer lite. He can’t get healthy. And when he is, he’s not productive. He’s just softer and scores less. Straight up deal, I’d take McNamara. Hell, I’d take a 6th if someone offers. Let’s get Outwater Outwindsor.

Depending on the cost,and assuming Outwater is done,I like the pickup had 34 points last yr in 60 games,is 6'3"-185, plays Center and the wing,check his fights on hockey fights,can handle himself, good bottom 6 forward with experience

 

[DetSpitsFan]

Nobody likes him (allegedly) on any team he has been on.

Sounds like the worst guy to bring into a team that seems to be bonding well and playing together. I guess if Kingston wants him gone he’ll go somewhere. But definitely not the acquisition I want to make. I’d rather keep the ice time for Garden/Gaymes/Martin. Need a 13th Forward? We gotta have somebody down in La Salle.

He cannot handle himself, and will drive the fans nuts with his taunting other teams but hiding behind a linesperson afterwards - he isn't what you think he is other than the good bottom 6 forward with experience.

why? hes been pushed out of 2 other orginizations already. hes just roster filler.

Not gonna lie. Not liking this move.

 

[Logosarejusttargets]

Not gonna lie. Not liking this move.

His parents are big fans and come to all the games - they are an interesting couple of folks to watch

 

[OHL4Life]

it is what it is for the rest of the year, but lets not turn it into the next ryan struthers thing? (not you)

Windsor doesn't need more softness.
Have enough in a couple players.

Outwater was a bad deal.

 

[punch1943]

Kingston board has Spits trading a pick for McNamara … no details on the pick.
