Saginaw Spirit 2019 Offseason Thread

[BPFox]

Hey, it's still summer. Nobody is in mid season form yet.

 

[swoopster]

Nonsense Fox, that may hold true for you and I ( I don"t remember midseason form any more ) but Wilde is 1 month out from his first real test. As far as I'm concerned, he's lacking. As Kingpin has stated earlier, the leap to the AHL is huge, and as of now this kid isn't ready. If he comes back and plays here...great for us, but he really needs improvement, both on the ice and in he ego driven head.

Bottom line, it is where the NYI think what is best for Bode? We can speculate but I personally would like to see him back. Just see him in Bridgeport but I have been wrong countless amount of times.

Perfetti scores 2 and Lennox with a SO in a 6-0 win over Finland. Byfield is such a force out there with size and speed fun to watch. Nice start for the Spirit boys.

 

[Kingpin794]

Perfetti doing very Perfetti things again.

Perfetti doing very Perfetti things again.

What a future ahead of the young guy! Let's hope he shines again this year for Saginaw.

 

[nelli27]

Perfetti player of the game.

 

[Saggy]

So two questions.....

1. Does Perfetti stay at LW or move to C this year?
2. Depending on the answer above, who are his linemates?

Best scenario,
Perfetti-Turcotte-Coskey that is scary, they would develop together and potentially the best line in the O. Worst case Jenkins or Giroux or Gilmour could step in and light it up? Nice problem to have.

 

[Saggy]

Great if you were correct but by all accounts Turcotte wearing the Red and White of Wisconsin

1. Think he's a LW going forward and into the NHL.

2. If you want to do the most damage, put him with Jenkins and Coskey.

Anyone remember who he was with before the deadline?

 

[Bob Barker]

As an outsider, hoping Prosvetov moves onto the AHL so Lennox can be handed the reigns. Would love to see what he can do as a starter this season.

 

[Kingpin794]

Soooo i hear that Perfetti did alright against Sweden today.

Wow...just wow!!!

 

[SaginawFan]

Perfetti!! Wow

Drinkill make sure this kid has the best line possible this season!

Top 3 2020 NHL Draft pick!

 

[Saggy]

So who can we put him with? Imagine if lighting strikes twice with one of our 2003s? Drinkill will look like a super star

 

[HomerHawk67]

Probably don't need to tell you this, but you've got a good one in Perfetti.

In the one game against London, he scored all 4 goals for the Spirit. I found out later that this is his first year, and he is a 16 year old.

WOW!

Can't wait to see how this season goes for him.

[Kingpin794]

And there's the 2000 born D to round out the blue line for now.

 

[Finster8]

King gives us size, grit, and experience that will help Smith 02, Lemieux 02, Punnett 03. With Webb OA, Millman 01, Solovyov 00 and King 00 gives a good range of vets to rookies. If Wilde is back, bonus don't hold your breath NYI control his destiny.

King is a great addition, he will add toughness for sure, as long it's under control.

I think Bode will attend camp but will end up playing pro, along with Coskey.

The big question is Prostevov, where will he be? Lennox won't be playing backup this year, therefore Prostevov will be traded or maybe he has a shot in minors with Arizona.

I like our team again this year, lots of young talent. Just need to figure out OA's and we are ready to roll.

 

[MitchBetts91]

Does anyone have any information regarding training camp? Thanks everyone!

 

[bcspragu]

Pretty sure it starts the 26th. Thought I seen that at the end of the DJ King trade article. The 29th is the loons Spirit night and the players will be there. Then the preseason Kitchener Showcase

Our top 6 would be stronger with Coskey, however, Perfetti-Jenkins-Giroux, Porco- Gilmour- Busdeker. A top 3 forward will be needed if Prosvetov shows up? Meaning Ivan could help get us that top forward in a trade. Lennox needs to be #1, he is the future.

 

[Saggy]

Do you think they got King because they know Wilde is not coming back? If Wilde does come back what do the top 6 pairings look like as it now seems we would have too many back there?

 

[Saggy]

Also, what's the story on Katic and Goldowski? I haven't heard a peep about either....
