Any word on the assistants?

 

[Sierra81]

It says that they are keeping the same assistants as last year.

Any word on the assistants?

First question (of only 2 or 3 from the media) was that and he said he’s keeping both on the bench next season

 

[Sierra81]

Usually when a team gets a new coach he will pick his own assistants. They are good assistant coaches they were just put in a bad spot last year. That why hunt had to come from the press box. I thought Jones would've been back this year. Can anyone see Marc savard being an assistant coach for Oshawa in the future?

 

[Sierra81]

I was hoping for a better home opener opponent. Nothing against north bay, but Stan butler teams play boring hockey. They also need to change back to the centennial jerseys, those ones look better.

Gens have 5 3-in-3's next year. Last year they had 9

Kinda disappointed the 'Perfetti deal" did not come to fruition. Thought with all the rumours he would end up in the Shwa. Wonder now if Tullio would have been selected had they known Perfetti could not be had? Or, did they base that selection in hope a deal could be had with Saginaw? Hmm!

No Tullio was definitely taken because his dads the Gens owner and not because of anything to do with Perfetti. I know for a fact as recently as a month ago that Perfetti was still not willing to go to Saginaw, so they did a great job in convincing him of their program. Now Hunt can use those picks to make this years team a top contender.

Roster right now before the import draft is looking like:
F:
Antropov-Studnicka-Noel
McShane-Commisso(OA)-???
Tullio-MacLean-Wong
Robinson-Resnick-Hewitson

D:
Ennis-Brassard(OA)
Brewer-Gross
Blacker-Allen(OA)
Rupoli

G:
Keyser
Peccia/Torchia

I highlight how the rivalry between the Gens and the Petes hasn't really been one as of late in the middle of this piece.

Tullio’s #’s looked pretty good. How much of that was inflated by playing with Perfetti? Either way, Robinson sounds like a pretty good player, so snagging him in the 2nd round should hopefully pay off for us.

Yeah it's a fair question. Of course Tullio did benefit from playing beside Perfetti, but so did Ty Roberts and he didn't put up the numbers Tullio did....

Tullio was a for sure late 1st/early 2nd rounder, so the Gens did reach, but not a crazy reach like he should've been a 4th or something. He's a very hard working 2 way C/winger (played both last year) who will immediately help the PK. Tough to play against and will block a ton of shots

If you had've told me before the draft the Gens got Robinson/Tullio with their first 2 picks I would've thought okay perfect Robinson went 11th and Tullio 28th. Very surprised it happened the other way around, but the "how did Robinson last until 28th" comments will be a plenty in 2 years

Kyle Keyser is one of 4 goalies invited to Team USA summer camp for the World Junior team. And one of the goalies invited is only 17 so you'd think Keyser has a great shot to make the team

 

[Generalsupdates]

The Swiss pro team that loaned Gross to the Gens hired a new coach and are hoping he comes back apparently

And also this

 

[TuckerFan1]

Kyle MacLean invited to the Islanders development camp. Haven’t seen any news on anyone else yet.

 

[Radzy]

Nico Gross-New York Rangers
Serron Noel-Florida Panthers
Kyle MacLean-New York Islanders as FA

Don't know if the list you saw is just this years draft+FA invites but also at NHL camps are Jack Studnicka (BOS), Kyle Keyser (BOS) and Matt Brassard (VAN). Although Brassard is hurt so he's only doing off-ice workouts at the VAN camp

i may have over looked them i did a quick glance

I see the list now. For some reason some teams arent on the list. Neither BOS or VAN are there but both have released their camp rosters

maybe they released the rosters after thatvwas created and rhe ohl site hasnt updated it yet

 

[Generalsupdates]

Hunt expects gross back next year and he will be looking to take a forward on Thursday. That’s great news

 

[TuckerFan1]

Krastenberg invited to the Penguins camp.

 

[Generalsupdates]

2019 NHL draft mocks have started (lol) and Antropov is a high 2nd round pick to them right now. Only behind Kaliyev and Suzuki. I could see him having a big year and flirting with the first round

Tullio has tons of skill and heart although at the ohl level he’ll find it somewhat more difficult to play that way. He needs players around him for sure. If Robinson can show he’s dedicated to the game on and off ice Oshawa has got a fantastic typical tough take no prisoner type for years to come!
