*OFFICIAL* Sarnia Sting 2014 Off-Season Thread

[Ringing Iron]

[cupcrazyman]

who is getting the O/A spots on the Sting this year ?

If think dupuis would get a spot Forsure!

 

[Ringing Iron]

who is getting the O/A spots on the Sting this year ?

LOCK: Taylor Dupuis (G)
Battling:
Nathan Mater (F) - if he decides to come back for the OHL full season
Joshua Chapman (D)


One thing to watch is the number of 95s the Sting have in prominent roles this season. With them looking to compete in the future (likely 2 years time), it's important for this group to have a strong season as some of them will be looking to secure a spot to play next year as potential overagers (Brown, Nikandrov, Vendramin, Sproviero)

 

[massey]

Agreed with Dupuis,Cant believe with Chapman,s work ethic and his past performance he isnt a lock in for sure.Shame on the Sting if he is let go.

Chappy is a lock in for me.

 

[Shaun Bisson]

Below is the full training camp roster.

Goldobin will be heading straight to San Jose's camp.

Nick Sproviero is going to university this year.

Nathan Mater will stay with the Legionnaires where he will likely be captain again.

any results from fitness testing at sting camp

 

[Stingland]

Went to part of this mornings scrimmage. Some of the veterans better be worried that there may not be a place for them on this years team. Very impressed with many of the newcomers in attendance at camp.The future looks bright. Even the RBC Centre looked cleaner.

 

[HkyBeegs3]

How many goals will Korostelev score this season? He looks primed for a big year.

 

[odishabs]

Wouldn't surprise me to see Brad Belisle make this team, big day for him. Kodola has come in MUCH BIGGER, based on the premise that he'll be here for 2 more years as opposed to Goldy's 1 more year, I'm guessing Goldy is traded.


Zacha - Kodola - Hodgson

Brown - Nikandrov - Korostelev

Lindberg - Kyrou - Bushnell

Belisle - White - Ciccarelli


Spinozzi - DeAngelo

Chychrun - Chapman

Schlichting - Black


ex: King , Core, Renaud

I was also there. Chychrun and Zacha look like they will be impact players right off the hop. Zacha looks a lot older than 17 and a has high level skill. The 98's that stood out for me at the first scrimmage were Belisle, Kyrou , Campbell (who hit everything that moved even though he's a small player) and O' Donnell. Going to be tough for the management to cut some of these guys.

From last years team some of the standouts were Hodgson, White and Nikandrov.

The scrimmage was fairly tame in terms of roughness. I expect things will get a lot chippier this afternoon and expect a few scraps.

Very interested in how the Ottawa guys Renaud and White are doing during camp. Any updates would be appreciated and you could also private message me if you don't want thoughts posted. Thanks in advance.

White looked very good in the morning session.Quick with nice moves and not afraid to go to the front of the net.He seems to have picked up his tempo from the end of last year. Lots of energy and fun to watch. Renaud however still likes to float around. He is a big player but rarely uses his size to his advantage in the checking department. Somewhat disappointing as a 2nd round pick entering his 3rd year in the league. Would have hoped to see more by now. He is going to have to raise his compete level as this is a very competitive Sting Camp for a change.

Unable to be at the workouts or scrimmages. Who am i missing? and who will be missing from the lineups?

It will be a sad day if that is the 4th line this year.From What I have seen so far this year there shouldn't be a chance.Rookies have impressed so far.

oldishabs has a great list.agree with everything on his list except for 1 fourth liner.

 

[StungbySting]

oldishabs has a great list.agree with everything on his list except for 1 fourth liner.

Is that one fourth liner guaranteed a spot again this year based on last name? Kind of embarrassing if true because of the amount of competition at camp.

 

[massey]

What about that Campbell kid.Small player with exc speed and a huge heart blocking shots and not afraid of the big boys.Impressed me.

some of the cuts were very obvious but surprised actually a few of the cuts did not stay… guess no threat to the vets… corrigan here or gone… thought luca was ok and worth keeping an eye…think the goaltending was a given. all we need is an OA forward…

 

[caveman16]

How did Stos look? Thought his compete level might keep him there for a little longer.

i think he stood in the shadows but with no systems and a rag tag game like that, it is so hard to tell with these kids. There were way worse players last night… kodola for one…

 

[EON]

So the Otters have cut CHL 2nd round pick LW Igor Vladykovsky, and it's not looking good for getting first round LW Anton Karlsson to sign. It's also pretty certain Andre Burakovsky will graduate to the AHL this season. So my question for Sting fans is, if Goldobin is sent back, would the Sting consider moving him? What would the price be? The Otters are likely to have two import spots open, and they need a top six wing that can finish.

I think the Sting are absolutely going to move Goldobin. Kodola will be here for at least another year and Goldobin's value is much, much higher in a trade. It will likely take a minimum of 3 picks and a roster player to make the deal happen, but that could change depending on what Goldobin indicates his desires are if he doesn't crack San Jose's roster.
