Draft spots 4,24,25,27 are some excellent building blocks to help sculpt the future and we get an import draft in which the actual pick l have no idea. Its a good one. So from the draft end things look promising. Now then who shows up between Jenkins, Wilde and Goldowski?
Goaltending does Cormier comback and if so Bonello or Lamour. I would trade Cormier if the prce was right and develop Lamour and Bonello. IMO
DD and his crew need a few elite players from the young prospects and some cleaver manoeuvring on the trade front. Next year the playoffs?

I had said earlier that if Cormier was gone, pick up a serviceable older tender for the one year and maybe move Bonello. Never did I think of Cormier coming back.
But your idea...well, let me tell you...brilliant
I don't know Kingpin, I think that Cormier would fetch mucho if offered to a top contender. I think that he is that good of a goaltender. In fact I'd be agreeable to even sink or swim with the two youngsters for the year, if Cormier were traded for a solid forward with another year left on top of nexts.
Idk. I think you're over valuing Cormier a bit. If we moved him I'd expect something like a 4th and a decent forward (30/35 pt 18 yr old).

It comes down to who else is on the market next year - there are a number of ( what I consider better) goals who will likely be available next year - supply and demand has a lot to do with his value.I'd ask for a bit more, but might accept that kind of deal if the right 18 yo was involved. It all depends when he is traded,...at seasons begining, or at trading deadline...particularly if he is playing well at that point. A contender with a need might show interest.

With the available goalies next year at the top end of the supply have to be injury free and playing well no one has that knowledge. If he is hurt can't trade him or playing like >>>> and thats true with any goalie.
... Who knows if we are at the bottom at trade deadline a would trade Cormier if the price was right. Same with Middleton.
Is Markus Niemelainen staying in Saginaw next season?.
He can't play in AHL ( under 20 yrs old ) so his options are Saginaw or HIFK ( FEL team)

Another thing to remember is that the OHL is implementing a U18 draft, for players that previously went i drafted and played AAA this year, in addition to their normal draft. For comparisons sake, Fuoco spent his post draft year playing AAA before being signed by us. So we should be able to get one rosterable player as well from that.
Even if we get 1 and DD signs Campoli would be a nice acquisition plus Jenkins, Goldowski etc.
All those other picks Bertuzzi maybe he is from Michigan and shows up to camp?
It's going to be interesting.
I wouldn't hold my breathe on Campoli.
Golf question for the Golfers out there.
I was looking at the possibility of heading to Tullymore Golf Resort this Spring or Summer. I was wondering if anyone has played Tullymore and St Ives?
The plan would be three nights at the Tullymore resort with a round on Tullymore and St Ives. Then swing over to Arcadia Bluffs for a Sunday 2pm twilight round.
I've played Arcadia Bluffs about 10 years ago and want to go again this year. I'm trying to figure out a weekend getaway of sorts. I don't want to go to Gaylord. I played Forest Dunes and Black Lake and stayed at Otsego Resort and played their two courses and one of the Treetops courses.
I saw Tullymore and it looks nice.
Three night and three rounds as listed would be $500US
Any recommendations and comments would be very appreciated.
