If I read right they said Spits have not picked first since 1976? Anyone can verify that?

Congrats to the organization. There are 3 1st overall caliber players here, you can't go wrong with either one, so I am good with whoever they pick.
I personally want them to draft Adam Valentini. Leads the OHL Cup in points. He is a center and is a great playmaker. We have plenty of guys that can come down the wing with speed and score need a player 'with eyes at the back of his head' to set these guys up with nice passes.
Spitfires picks this season:
#1
#22
#24
U18
#1
CHL Import:
#3

Jim Fox and I don't believe he played for the Spitfires.
Post below not directed at you.
Wow for a team the OHL hates as much as I read on here they have gotten great draft lottery help
2x drafting higher than % would suggest. Maybe they should leave the system as is lol ( seemed to be some paranoia on here about the process.....I'm sure it's all good now) The fact they missed on Miedema....they still caught a break that year
and this year. Good on Spits n fans for grabbing #1, hopefully it puts to rest the " ohl hates us " rhetoric
My issue with Valentini is his size, 5'9", 170. He will turn 16 in 2 weeks, so there could (or not) be considerable growth in the next 2 years. However, he does fit what I always say, when in doubt, pick a Marlie.

I am PUMPED about getting the 1OA pick, fellas. Getting a pair of season tickets after all these years away, with some renewed hope for a build toward a contending run, bringing my daughter to the rink every week.
Can’t wait until I can go in and pick out my seats!

He didnt report. Played Tier II at home the following year then got his rights traded to 67's for Behn Wilson, his brother John and a handful of draft picks.

Players body stats are regularly “adjusted” lol. Teams do their own homework. Bodies can do odd things at this age lol. Very impressive to grab the #1 pick. More so in the euro draft imho. Bowler MUST get some pro help with that pick!
A guy l like Sergachev would make me pleased,knowing of course said player won't be a Russian.

I remember the kids baseball chant…
WE’RE #1, not 2, not 3 not 4
WE’RE #1, not 2, not 3 not 4 Looking forward to April 12, though I assume that the 1st pick will be announced a couple of days prior to the draft. It usually is.
A good 2nd round pick might be Jacob Xu, D, from the Junior Canadians. He is 6'2" 170 lbs. Needs to bulk up but has size. There are a lot of small Ds this year.

Erie didn't announce until the day before the draft last year. That's probably when we'll find out.
Remember Windsor has Niagara and Peterborough 's 2nd picks in the draft,so because Ottawa and London get comp picks in the 2nd round the first 2 go there,then 23rd whoever has Windsor,then Windsor has 24th Niagara and 25th Peterborough2024 OHL Draft Ranking - Elite Prospects
