Looking at the Fronts team next year it looks like they have a lot of bodies to replace...3 OAs gone Peresinni. Mcglynn, Duchense...They have 11-96's...Foegele, Verbeek, Steege, Caron, Dal Colle, Lammiko, Watson, Bilitier, Mckeown, Brown, Derocher only 3 can stay as OAs so 8 have to go....3-97's..Nichol, Murray,Helvig and Crouse who could be gone to Fla....5-98's Konstatin, Cranford, Grzenia, Field, Dorval...4-99's Roertson, Paquette, Brahany, Burnie plus this years draft picks...Looks like it could be an inexperienced group....Not much trade value in the 96's other than Foegele, Watson, Dal Colle, Mckeown or Derocher if any of them are returned.

If they are drafted and 19 with skill likely goners.

The amount of fan activity in this thread compared to others is mind-boggling.

What is the deal with the Frontenacs?

It's sad.... I don't know what the reason for it would be, but there's no buzz about the team AT ALL in this city. Especially last season when they were doing so well, you should be selling out more than three or four games

It's the amount of struggles the team has had in the past, all the playoff disappointments and the frustration of being perennially mediocre. Last season the fans started coming out down the stretch but my guess is they'll struggle to pull good crowds next year as they are about to rebuild.

 

[Garlando]

Who do you guys think are back as overagers this season?

 

[BigBuck]

Interesting!

Who do you guys think are back as overagers this season?

I could see Desrocher, Foegele and Bilitier....

 

[Ghoste]

Do you guys think Crouse could/should play bottom-six minutes in Florida or go back to Kingston?

i think he makes the panthers sucks for fronts do.

 

[MisterDB]

Bottom 6 min in Florida is a lot better than playing top line in Kingston.

He will get all kinds NHL calibre coaching during practices combined with extensive training and conditioning. Not to mention a paycheck.

He will also be probably be invited to the WJC.

In reality what does he benefit from playing another year in the OHL. Kingston would obviously, whether they keep him but OMO his value would be greater in trade, I would imagine he would be high on the list for teams that are going for it this year as the cup is in Windsor this year.

Who do you guys think your 3 OA's will be next year?

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Crouse was traded to the Coyotes. Not sure if that impacts his chances of being in the NHL this season.

This will make it easier to send him back to the OHL....

If Crouse doesn't play in Arizona this season, the 2nd round pick becomes a 3rd round pick.

Exactly, I see the Coyotes trying to make him stay up in the NHL for at least 10 games.

Isn't it the opposite? They would be more inclined to send him back to avoid giving up the earlier pick.

Honesty I don't think that should even factor in to their decision, doing what's best for Crouse's development should be the main priority.
