Flint Firebirds 2021-22 Season Thread

[MJ5]

Wonder what picks...I would imagine its fairly significant

Yeah, not at all.

 

[bcspragu]

Yeah, not at all.

For an overager who is on his 4th team in 4 seasons getting a 3rd is pretty solid tbh. They have been going for pennies on the dollar due to the abundance with the covid year.

 

[N Da No]

And so it begins...who gonna be next? '22 3rd, '23 6th and '24 1oth ..... no guarantee that any of those will also want out. Best of luck to you Cody in London furthering your career.

Horrible return for nearly a point per game player! For a ‘22 3rd rounder, ‘23 6th rounder, and a ‘24 10th rounder? Now what? A 3rd and a 5th over two years for Othmann? Is this going to be another 38 - 40 point season with a defective pick in 2022?

I think you'll keep Othmann and build around him for next year

Hope you are right, but they still will nott be good with the draft picks we are getting IMO.

draft picks are trade capital

be upset if another OA goes for significantly more; the previous high return for an OA this off-season was a 6th pick.

Othmann is next out. TC has turned over the entire staff. Vets have zero confidence in him leading an OHL team. Great job TC.

I think Flint did OK personally, Hunter doesn’t throw draft picks away especially a 3rd. He is an OA with only 1 season to give and it’s a season where there are a boatload of OA players in play?

plus a possibility of a not a full season (someone had to say it)

Like some of the London people said, Lombardi looks to be the real deal. He had 4 goals and an assist today. Not bad for a 13th round pick.

 

[Savard18]

So glad to see him sign. He was by FAR the most defensively reliable 16yo forward the ‘Birds have ever had and you could see the rest of his game was developing too. If Othmann returns I think Flint can field at least a couple really solid lines.

 

[TcNorth]

Saginaw beats Flint today 7-5. Rookie Center Ty Petrou had 2 goals for the Firebirds.

 

[TcNorth]

The arena looks fantastic. Good job Rolf. Check Flintfirebirds.twitter

 

[Savard18]

The ability to redecorate? Check. The ability to run a hockey organization?

 

[MJ5]

 

[LDN]

not bad!!

 

[TcNorth]

Welcome to Tag and family! Surprised we got him! Nice job TC.

Given our OA situation in Hamilton something had to give, but I really thought it wouldn't be Bert.

Congrats flint. Pros - He's a kid that cares and wants to be good. Has good skills. Cons - Always seems to be a second late or a foot behind the play or he would be great.

 

[E27914]

Bertuzzi, Bertucci, Hay, Hayes, Petrou, Pitre, Pitters. Flint likes similar sounding names, good luck to the game announcer.

 

[MJ5]

Hopefully its more trades for forwards. HA, either that, or they finally let us know season ticket books are ready for pickup.

 

[MJ5]

Or it's this.

 

[Agent 53]

Or it's this.

There had been rumors of the import pick from this year coming. Hopefully that’s it, I’d assume they wouldn’t announce Othmann being back since he’s already rostered.
