No Bollers or Baldeamenti either.
According to Joey, Bollers and Hill are attending London Knights camp and Baldeamenti is attending Kitchener camp. All 3 remain property of the Spirit.

As of today, I still heard that Busdeker, Gilmour and Grondin and being on the trade front.
Kingston and London could now be interested in Gilmour for leadership, but Petes and Oshawa are front runners.
Sudbury is still the team in discussion regarding Grondin.
Busdeker is looked at by 67's, Fronts and Sudbury.

Thank you Elon!
I am very excited to see what Bode does this year as well as Blade Jenkins who I have been a big fan of for years. I know he isn't the quickest out the gate skater in the league, but a player of his ilk can make it to the pro game in a Dustin Brown type role - gritty/goal scorer...happy that Saginaw should be one of the top teams this year in the OHL
You’ve been claiming this all offseason long.... times ticking before camp.
Yes, I have been claiming this as it's what I've been told very a very reliable source on the very inside. I have no clue if it will happen, but as a Saginaw fan I do see some advantages from dealing this three in hopes of getting a big point getter, even if only a year guy.
Not certain if it will happen before camp, but I've been told it's happening soon. But I see they all are listed on preseason roster.
IMHO Blade needs someone to play with. He has been lined up with Giroux most of the year. Frankly chemistry is just not there. Giroux a hard working kid and leader on the team, just not much on the playmaker side. We will not see Blades true skill until he has someone to play with .

I'd be surprised if Webb was not included in there now that Wilde has signed. The guy has size, but I would find it hard to believe Saginaw's defense was better with him in the lineup than before they traded for him. To the right team, you might be able to get back your initial investment. You could have Wilde, Everett, Davis on the right side plus Hill as insurance, so getting some assets you could use elsewhere is probably better than having Webb around.
I believe Perfetti will have his hands full dealing with playing at a higher level. His size will be an issue. I prefer to see him with Porco and Stepien as someone eluded to earlier. There is the dilemma, who will step up to play with Jenkins.
Gilmour when he was with Bennett and Hodgson he was reading the ice very well and had his best season and could be interesting a Jenkins-Gilmour-Coskey/Goldowski has to be looked at. Unless he is getting traded Gilmour could be here another 2years and same with Coskey l think both bust out this year.
I know we have to try find the combinations but sometimes you have to give em time to develop.I hope TS has a plan. To much talent in all areas we look fairly solid going into camp.

It is more than a hunch. The source is a person who deals on the inside daily. So I'd say it's very legitimate.
Gilmour could be held on to Xmas.

Roster spots at a premium. Only one FA invite for camp. 3 scrimmages. Of the guys not signed, Dalton Bancroft intrigues me. Hopefully someone's nice enough to post some notes if they can take in the games.

Hmm. That third line will not fair well against most teams. But the fourth line looks awesome!
The 3rd line might take awhile or not but they will be playing against other teams 3rd line so I doubt they will look out of place and if they do not play well then changes will be made if they even play together?
I guess we'll see. But if I were coaching I would switch those two lines as there appears to be more OHL talent on the 4th line.
Hmm. I saw that Bulovs kid play about one year ago. A great skater. Just a 2002 but I hope he makes that cut. The OHL is fast and that kid should adapt well.
No doubts but doing the math he is 1 of 12 competing for the bottom six. Preuter, Baber, Katic, Stepien, Cardwell, Perfetti, Porco, Busdeker, Bulovs, Badalamenti, Bollers, and Grondin. DD and TS have some tough decisions who to develop and to let go and make room on the roster. Badalamenti and Bollers are with other clubs and we could get a pick or 2? It will be entertaining.
Nice to see Michnac, Wilde and Perfetti performing well.
Not sure who chose the teams or the reasoning behind them, but team white is extremely week compared to the blue.
Great to see the talent on the ice, it's been a few years since we've had this much.

Hard to get a good read on guys because of the nature of a training camp scrimmage. But I'd say the main battles for 7th D-man and last 4 forward spots were pretty evident.
Millman and Phillips both showed they could be capable 7th d-men. Personally I'd go Millman over Phillips but they each bring their own game.
Busdeker and Pruter really stood out for "bubble forwards" even though I think they should both be locks. Cardwell did enough to be at least the 13th forward. Bulovs is a year away but he shows some serious offensive promise.
Of the remaining 3 (Baber, Katic, Grondin) none showed to much last night (outside of Katic's goal). Would be interesting to see how they perform the rest of camp.
