Sudbury Wolves 2018 Offseason Thread

Back on track everyone. Byfield...

Peterborough thread seems to be "hearing" rumours Byfield won't report to Sudbury or Flint.

Never will he drop to #3. Sudbury will take him first regardless of the games being played. That much is certain.

I have heard rumblings of this but not sure if true, about Byfield, his agent is trying to set him up somewhere else. However, i heard Sudbury will take him regardless.

Thanks to starting an AA goalie. A 13th round draft pick. Too funny.

He played well ?

 

[TcNorth]

What does TcFlint stand for anyway...Take Care Flint! Barclay will find you a good late round pick in the first. Enjoy

Well Sasquatch, I mean WJ, sounding like Byfield won’t report to Sudbury. Heart attack alert. However,if I were Sudbury, I would still select him.

His agent is the Orr Group. Its all about doing their due diligence. No worries here.

Coach Stillmans son signs with Florida. Posted on Hamiltons thread.

Any predictions on the line combos next season, after taking Byfield first overall if we finish last this is what I think it may look like.

Pilon(OA) Murray Pilon(OA)
Carson Bulitka Baker
Levin Byfield 1st Rd Pick Niznikov
Hucthison Siau McConville
Tabek Gilhula Bowie
Lipanov???

Candella(OA) Stratis
Ross Serentis
Malik Phillips
Import pick??? - 2nd Rd Pick(one of Murray, Bar, Thompson, Biancioni, Gucciardi, Schlueting, O'Rourke)

McGrath
Frappier
Draft pick 3rd pick

The 2nd round pick will most likely be a defender. The Wolves will be extremely pleased to land anyone of those above mentioned names with the 6th pick in the second round. It all depends who is available at that point.

The 3rd pick for the Wolves will be a goalie IMO and their is a lot of good ones available if they pick one in that round. However if a player slips into the third round who is ranked to be a 2nd rounder then I believe Sudbury will take that player.

Its obvious the Wolves have some deals to make cause they will be carrying way too many bodies. So the truth is the audition for next season is really taking place.

With the suspected rule changes coming next season where teams may be able to draft an import goalie and overage goalies will no longer be considered as one of the 3 overages players then I can see goalies be taken later. One thing is for sure the Wolves have some good players to take with the top 3 and some valuable sleepers in the following rounds. I suspect players in this draft taken in the 4th-7th round may turn out to be very good. So lets hope the Wolves scouts and brass have done their homework and will take some of these guys in those spots particularly defence men.

Happy to hear M.Pezzetta signed pro contract with Montreal. One of my favourite Wolves, a true class act.

Congratulations to Michael Pezzetta. Was expecting him to be signed after the great year he has been having. A player who matured alot in one year and was driven and focused all year resulted in this signing. Wish him all the best!

Who will wear the C next year. One Pilon gets an A, the other the C. My prediction.

 

[I Loveallsports]

Looks like that Spirit lead is starting to a get a little bit bigger

Flint 7- Erie 4

Well said. I'm sure he called coach Stillman and thanked him for his tutelage

So apparently since the NB gardens are booked for the scheduling timeline of games 1-4 of the OHL first round, the Battalion can't have any home games in the first 4. They are therefore trying to set up a "home" game in Sudbury.

Wanna go just to cheer for Kingston/Barrie if this happens.

I'm definitely rooting for the Sault, but I cant stand NB.

I've grown a distaste due to the rivalry coming back lol. When I was a kid I always hated the Centennials too haha. Nothing against the fans, just wanna see the team lose

It's the only OHL playoff hockey your town is going to see this year. Be thankful

I am thankful. Getting to see more of that Kingston PP or Svechnikov & Sokolov would be great. I saw two NB/Kingston one goal games, I think that would be a pretty good series.

Still might be more OHL playoff hockey than your town will see this year

i like how the guy who was attacking the bowan pick isn't here to answer when the kid gets 1st star in a 4-2 win.

To be fair, that guy did say he was ‘pleasantly surprised by Bowen’s play’ after a 38 save, 3-2 OTL last weekend.

If you're referring to me, read my previous post on Bowen, so you don't look like a jester.
