Bolts have now signed 4 of their 9 draft choices, Stephens, Spencer, Tammela, and Cirelli from the 2015 draft. Those CHL guys along with Yan and Joseph will return to their respective clubs for the 2016-17 season, Zuhlsdorf and Oldham will start their college careers in the fall, and Imama will turn 20 in August, so he can either go pro or return as an overage player.

Raw Charge talked with Jeff Marek of Sportsnet's Junior Podcast about Cirelli's game.
"I love this kid," Marek said. "[He] really popped for me at the Memorial Cup last year, and this year, was Oshawa's best player by a mile. Great skill set, just needs to add some weight. I think where Tampa got him is a steal. He's a skilled guy but also good along the boards competing for pucks."
As Marek mentioned, the only mark against him is his size. At 6'0, he is 171 lbs, a small player even among Junior players. "You'll love him," Marek said, "But man he's tiny! So skinny."
