Yes!!! We will see what the draft holds. Any ideas on what imports will be available from other teams?

Not yet... Looks like you'll have a top team (damn)!
Paquette with the Gordie Howe hat trick and Zhugin showing that he can step up into the Top 6 next season. Guelph has Gaudreau right where they want him. Win tomorrow night and watch them sweat.
Congrats on the win, as a Knights fan I hate to say it but I think you all are watching the OHL representative in the Memorial Cup this year! Oh and sorry it's not Guelph I'm talking about LOL.
Play like this tomorrow night and it will be a very interesting game to watch.
If Sarnia beats Guelph, I'm hoping you're right. If you're going to get beat, it'd better be by the best. Guelph has got nothing to lose... they literally traded their top scorer to the team they are playing against. This makes it extra entertaining. It's a long shot, but so was 2019... fun to watch.
LOL, 2019 you had to go there didn't you? Good Luck but I think the Sting are just a bit to much for a very resilient bunch of kids in Guelph. I'm not disappointed the Knights missed you in this year's playoff ..... well so far anyway!
Yes, I doubt they'll repeat that performance... in 2019 we picked up Suzuki, in 2023 we traded away Pastujov and Zhilkin. I still hope they make a series of it though. A win tonight would be huge. Bring it back to Guelph to either force a game 7 or let us send them unto summer with a round of applause.
Still I'd love to see a reverse sweep against Sarnia.

Good game by the Storm! They weren't given a chance to even win one game by most "prognosticators". If that's a word. Sting has all the offense and the Storm did a great job keeping them to the outside and slowing the pace of the game down. They found a way to win which makes them more of a threat. It doesn't get any easier . Next game is massive.

Never say die team u got. Should be very proud of the effort they put out. I knew ppl were crazy to think we'd run thru u.
Not gonna be a team to be messed with next season.

Cheers. No shame in losing to the best team in the West. Good luck the rest of the way.Never say die team u got. Should be very proud of the effort they put out. I knew ppl were crazy to think we'd run thru u.

The Storm worked their asses off, they can hold their heads high.
Hoping to see a developmental step forward from Allen and Karabela next year. Will be interesting to see who they pick up in the import draft or if they fill that spot through a trade.
Guelph's 2023 1st rounder, 2 2nds and 2 3rds to the Petes for Beck and McCoy.
Karabela/Poitras/Bowman
Namestnikov/Beck/Luchanko
Zhugin/McGuire/Paquette
Buchinger/Allen
Romeo/McCoy
Bring it....

Might be interested in acquiring Vilmanis from sarnia next season. Sarnia will badly need to recoup picks and Vilmanis will be a beast in his 19 year old season.
Not a bad idea, but Guelph is solid on the left side... they need a rightie or two to balance things out.

Thanks Jack. I'm curious if Will McFadden is related to Garrett. I feel confident about the future... interested to learn more about the new guys.
Mods: Off season thread? Or not worth it. Lol.

Addressed some very big needs for Guelph. Excellent offensive dman, natural knack for scoring in McFadden and crazy speed in Snelgrove. I like all three of those picks.

Knowing George, these guys also likely have the work ethic. Next year being "the year" I'm excited to see who can step up and hit the ground running... in particular Beauschene... the door is open for:
Buchinger/Allen
Romeo/Beauschene ... if he can handle it. Regardless, next year looks good.
Lots of good bubble players going into next year for Guelph with these new additions, if McFadden and Snelgrove show they can earn a spot who is on the outside looking in? Do we see some summer movement?
There are two "open" competitive spots on the second line, who steps up to earn it?? Zhugin? Luchanko? ... the big fish George will trade for?

Stormwatcher I can see you looking in the mirror saying "Are you talking to me"? Storm had one hell of a great draft the fans should be proud of.

Thanks for visiting bobber!! Can I offer you a cup of coffee? Their draft was great, I am itching for September camp to see what we've... though I don't want to wish away the summer either.Another interesting note based solely on the orientation camp roster is that Luchanko was the only current Storm player there. He'll be expected to step up next season or will likely end up as a trade piece.
