So Perfetti is on a heater in the AHL. What are the odds he is back in Saginaw for the 2021 season??

Its not looking good. Don't think any of him, Byfield or Drysdale are back. Which would be a huge hit to the OHL

It's either the NHL or OHL for Pefetti next year. He can't go to the AHL is the Spirit are playing in the fall.

Coming up to draft time. Might as well look at what we’re working with.

Defense
Mancini (03)
Smith (02)
Mintyukov (03)
Schlueting (02)

Forwards
Baber (01, OA)
Duhart (01, OA)
Bloom (03)
Codd (03)
Klein (04)
Beck (02)
Bulovs (02)

Goalie
Lennox (02)
Oke (04)

At first glance: That’s a decent top four on defense. Will just need to round out the bottom pair. Goalie should be set too. It gets rough on offense though. 7 forwards by my count. Not a lot of experience on the attack. There’s one solid line there and a group of mid level guys. Don’t think we’re going to be outscoring folks unless we really hit the jackpot on signings. Have to figure the upcoming drafts are going to be forward heavy. We have a 1st, 4th, and Import pick. That get us another line but would still be a couple bodies short. Will need to sign some guys from previous classes. Push hard for guys like Owen Baker, Dean Loukus, Ryan Cooper, or Brandon Balazs. Think this team is likely to hover around 0.500 for a bit before they slip a few games under. They will have to move Lennox at some point (and pray for Perfetti to return) to restock. This is going to be a year to enjoy watching the young kids play and be happily surprised if we make the playoffs.

Gotta think we use our 3rd OA spot and bring someone in up front, now if they trade for a player or bring back Fleming who they got in the Suzuki trade would be up to the club. He would be a big body that could fill in the bottom 6.

Team could look very different pending commits and a potential Perfetti-Millman return (I think Perfetti is 50/50 and Millman is about 15%).

As for commits think the team needs to make their move on Fantilli. If they can get him to commit, boom you got your #1 C the next 2 years. If they can get him to commit elsewhere in the O and facilitate a trade, you should be able to grab a couple really good rebuilding young pieces in return for him.

Baker and Loukus are my two other big adds if we can get them signed. Loukus especially seems like someone we might be able to sign as I dont believe he is committed anywhere

We need a big hit on our import pick (Detroit got any prospects they want to bring over?), a starter both with our 1st and 4th pick in the draft, and find a gem in the U-18 draft we can bring in.

It's looking good for the Dow to be open for hockey fans this season. Now we just need the OHL to have a season.

Not very deep on leadership with team losing so much and being so young.

Who do we dream of putting letters on to help lead the rebuild?

Rounds 4 and 5 the Spirit take a couple more forwards. Jospeh Willis from Chicago Mission and Benjamin Poitras from Salisbury School. Neither are committed yet. Chicago mission has provided a few great players in the past.
