I agree that we should have won over Plymouth and Spott was the reason we didn't, but we were never getting past the second round. That was the year we didn't get Skinner and Morin back. Once that happened, based on what we were going to look like the following two years, Spott should have sold the OA's. By not selling the OAs, we didn't have the assets to load up the following year. A year where we got outbid by London for OHL playoff MVP Austin Watson. And the Knights got Watson pretty cheap! He was the reason we lost to London and had we beat London, it's us at the Memorial Cup that year. We were that good.
You make valid points about losing Skinner and Morin. Even still we did pick up D'Amigo. And all we had to do was win a mediocre west. I think we do agree that you have to eventually pick a season and commit to that season. When it's not your season sell last year players as assets.
