Saginaw signed U-18 1st rounder Mangone this morning. Another player for the roster next season at least part time as hes also signed to a JR A/B team for next season.
Lineups currently with a worst case scenario of no Perfetti, Millman, any surprise NCAA signings could be something like:
Bloom-Duhart-Codd
Baber-Beck-McNamara
Klein-Mangone
Mancini-Smith
Mintyukov-Schueting
Savard
Lennox
Oke
Still need 5 forwards and at least 2 dmen. Have one open OA spot and an early import spot to fill 2 of those holes. Still some work to do especially up front. Drinkill better be working Mintyukov/Prosvetov/Soloyvov's agent and see if he has any more gems we can pick up
Gotta think we will get Perfetti and an Import forward too
Klein 6’4
McNamara 6’3
Bloom 6’2
Duhart 6’0 (maybe)
Numbers from Saginaw site are suspect -- they have Codd listed as 5'10 and he is more like 5'8.
Probably best to subtract 1 to 2" from all of those values.
Adam Fantilli will return to chicago for second ushl season... confirmed by steel gm Ryan Hardy as per CoryPronman.
You think Perfetti will be back in the OHL?
I would guess he's on the 3rd line for Winnipeg with regular PP minutesDon’t think he has anything to prove in OHL anymore but too young for AHL. Not sure if he is ready to play top 6 role on Winnipeg just yet.

Those arent heights listed on a Spirit site as far as I can tell. Klein and McNamara have never been listed on a roster there. Plus I'm pretty sure Saggy is tuned in to at least one of thier heights lol

Draft database shows Sauga owning the 2024 Saginaw 2nd pick but with conditions in regards to the R McLeod trade, but no details given. Any light on what those conditions were, or if they were met? Thanks!
I'd assume the condition was McLeod playing an OA year?
OA year, how far Saginaw advanced in the playoffs, games played in Saginaw. Could be any number of things I'm sure only a select few know. Wish the OHL was more transparent on these things
you also have Sam Lipkin 223 to arizonaCongrats to Tristan Lennox (93rd to Islanders) and Josh Bloom (95th to Sabres) on being drafted yesterday. And to those that didn’t have their name called, keep putting the work in and people will notice. This is now 14 straight seasons that Saginaw has had someone selected in the draft.
Spirit prospects that were also picked included:
-Luke Hughes (4th to Devils, Michigan commit)
-Carter Mazur (70th to Red Wings, Denver commit)
-Dylan Duke (126th to Lightning, Michigan commit)
Couple notes from this week:
-Rick Ice hired as new goalie coach as AJ Walczak is taking a position at Michigan
-Mitchell Smith invited to Ava camp.
-Tbone Codd invited to Wings Camp
