Being completely objective (i.e. treating it like a fantasy team, not like actual humans...), the only Petes 1997's who are worthy of an OA spot on a competing team are Spencer (TB signed, not happening), Tammela (lol), Korostelev (maybe more likely with him not being signed by Leafs) and DeNoble (slam dunk, it would seem).
I like Rollo, Black and Coyle but typically you'd hope for more than bottom pair D/depth forward from an overager. Smith may deserve a chance somewhere but I can't think of many times in my years watching the league that a team went with a first time starting overager in net.
Couldn't agree more but up until this season Oke has been pretty reluctant to make moves.... with our lack of picks I really can't see him shipping some out for an OA upgrade. If we start with Koro, DeNoble and Black as our three that's pretty solid.
Honestly, I think Korostelev will be back now because I just don't see him being good enough for the KHL.... and the team that takes him as a re-entry has a new three year window to sign him. Why start the clock on his contract right away?
Edit: not so fast apparently.... Korostelev listed on CSKA roster on KHL website... along with 29 other forwards but interesting nonetheless.
