At 31, Saginaw takes Matt Jovanovic. Would have liked him in the first so this is great. Thought either him or Isaiah George (who somehow is still available) would be awesome picks. Great job so far.
i like how Drinkell has drafted after round one. I'd rather try to recruit him than trade him at this point and I bet you (based on his strategy over the years) Drinkell would rather recruit him than trade him as well.
What happens if he is a no show? I know we can trade him but if we don’t do we get some sort of compensatory picks or something ?
Not if he goes to ushl...Chicago to play with his brother
So let's assume that he is a no-show for sake of argument......what does our lineup look like? Sees that Kingpin and bcsprague have some of the better insights so why don't you guys take a crack at it.
Thanks Saginaw...for NOT leting London have him.
Picking Fantilli is actually a not so bad move. It costs you a first-round pick this year at worst BUT gains you a first-round pick next year when the draft may be deeper. Also if he decides he wants to play in the OHL he has only one choice and you guys are it. Trade can net you up to 5 picks total if you look at the deal that Kingston made with London it was a great boost for the D|Fronts organization.
As far as the guys we just drafted goes, based on what Drinkell is saying in the summary below, Jovanovic, Klein, and Baker could be the rookies we see in the line up next season. Oke could be back up in 2021/22. They'll work on Fantilli for a year and go from there. And Pietela is probably a long shot considering just about everyone else in that family has gone to Michigan Tech.
Saginaw Spirit swing for fences, pick star Adam Fantilli in 2020 OHL Draft
Also like Drinkell said, it sucks that we couldn't bring these guys in for a playoff game and really sell them on us fresh from the draft. Was interesting that he said we've had a few of these guys visit already so there is that seed planted.
He signed with the USHL today
Little over an hour . One hour nineteen minutes.Can anyone post here how long of a drive it is from Saginaw to the U of Mich campus?
Wooooooo! Saginaw swing for the fences again and takes Fantilli!
Drinkell has a year to recruit him or London and Kitchener can pay the F up for him. Either way it's a win. Drinkell with the power move.
Thanks, and Saginaw is closer to UoM than Flint, correct?Little over an hour . One hour nineteen minutes.
My Google says 45 minutes from Flint to East Lansing.Thanks, and Saginaw is closer to UoM than Flint, correct?
