Hope Detroit drafts him and then sends him to Saginaw!!
No ThanksTrade up from where their second first is to 18/19 range and take him.
I don't know on this one Pin...not giving up a lot, given the chance he might want to go back to Europe, but it ties up 1 of the 2 slots. I would have just as soon see them try for 2 new Euro snipers and hope that at least one would show. Is Albert better than what we might have drafted?
I feel at this point that with the next right move ( aka a top tender and a strong goal scorer with edgy presence ), this team is set to make a run at it.
Isn't Middleton an OA now also? That means just him an Michnac. I could definetly see an import fixing your goaltending situation and I don't see a better option for Wilde unless he chooses another NCAA school. I think he ends up in a Spirit jersey this year.If we can get a solid goalie in the import draft would save us giving up picks or prospects via trade.
Michnac and another OA upfront plus Mids leaves room to develop all the young talent that needs TOI to improve their game.
Wilde ends up in Saginaw our defense will be solid
Mids-Wilde
Webb--Everett
Davis-Penman Millman
Sure Middleton is an OA. Michnac and another OA forward is 3.Isn't Middleton an OA now also? That means just him an Michnac.

DUMB. I was thinking how it's rare to see (Michnac) Import OA's and my brain just decided 2 OA's. I was thinking how you guys could carry an extra one for awhile or even up to the deadline and STILL I was thinking 2 OA's. Dumb. I guess the offseason has already been too long for some of us.Sure Middleton is an OA. Michnac and another OA forward is 3.
It clearly is the better option for most kids that are ready physically and talent wise. Why go through all the NCAA hassles to play 40-45 games for just a year or two and not get a degree? Not to mention how things will go with scholarships and medical bills if you suffer a career ending injury while playing for an NCAA school. If a kid won't be AHL-NHL ready by age 20-21 then the NCAA is probably the way to go. I thought Saginaw fans were getting ahead of themselves looking to add for this year. Now though, with the import goalie rule (if they score a high-end one), the Wilde decision and Middleton almost certainly returning I could possibly see and would prefer they take a serious shot at this year. I worry that Flint and Saginaw are both lining themselves up for next year. They'll spend time beating each other up and hampering themselves in the standings in a season (2019-2020) where it currently appears might also be go-for-it seasons for Windsor, London, Guelph, maybe Erie and others. Somebody is gonna be going for it every season but to do it the same year as London, Windsor and possibly Erie is scary especially when your I-75 rival is on the same timeframe. I'd much prefer to see Saginaw take a shot this year and Flint next. Both organizations have made strides in making themselves more desirable, they just need to exhibit some on ice post season success.And there is a boatload of homegrown talent just waiting to be convinced that the NTDP, USHL, and NCAA are not the only solution. Both clubs need to prove to young players that the OHL route can be successful for American born players.
I could not agree more this proves homegrown talent can tip the scales in our favour if the Spirit and Firebirds are doing well in the playoffs is the best way to measure success.And there is a boatload of homegrown talent just waiting to be convinced that the NTDP, USHL, and NCAA are not the only solution.

I think Wilde will be traded for a top prospect goalie and a decent defenseman. Off ice serious issues are what held him back in the draft and with NCAA, therefore I think Saginaw will be hesitant to have him in the room. Things are progressing quit well for this team, and I think DD will not mess with what is happening.
Time will tell.
People are reading way to much into him not explicitly saying Saginaw.
So you're saying he's going to end up on the Petes? Wow, interesting
