#OHLDraft Introductions: 18th Overall Pick Justin Cloutier (Soo Greyhounds) – Ontario Hockey League

 

[Saggy]

What’s the lineup looking like? I know you were set for last year but Covid screwed you like everyone else. Problem is I think a lot of your players have aged out or you’ll need to decide who you keep.

lineup guess anyone?

 

[Bra Wavers]

Which OAs do you think the Hounds will be keeping?

 

[HF92]

Hey guys! Hope all is well! 6 days away from a OHL schedule. Hounds did very well in the draft, and have signed some very talented players already. A high import pick too... I'm excited.

Don't think they're looking at this year as a rebuild year at all.

Rebuild Year?

I don't think it's a rebuild year personally, but we will see.

Men’s hockey welcomes Cullen McLean to the program - Ontario Tech Athletics.

Wow - 2004 Russian defender taken 6th. I would have bet that they would have rolled the dice on a goalie considering Ethan Taylor is the only “sure thing” reporting for camp this year.

Before anyone jumps down my throat, I understand the concept and typical process with the import draft. I get that this first pick might be a long shot and the pick that comes in the second round is probably a pre-negotiated pick and at times, they are better than many players in the first round and are not taken because they are essentially spoken for.

Julian Lutz appears to be a player worth discussing.
I wonder if he was a negotiated pick?

 

[DWI Dale]

Just the latest bust for Raftis IMO. Inherited a top team he got way too much credit for and it's been a long line of questionable decisions since.
Some recent examples? Malik and Pytlik were busts. Wasted picks on guys like Cole Caulfield, John Beecher and Rutger McGroarty that are never going to report. And failing to recoup any picks when we had the opportunity to rebuild are a few big ones that immediately come to mind. How about another season with no starter? Is Ethan Taylor worth an OA spot to you guys?

I know his ever-shrinking fan club is going to come after me as always but Raftis has done nothing to deserve much praise since acquiring Raddysh.


Enjoy your summer! See y'all in the fall!

i think we have at least 2 in front of us. the hounds are a rudderless ship atm.

 

[Riverfront]

raftis is a very good general manager. Nothing more needs to be said

Mmmmmmmmm - would we say very good??

I may not spout off like DWI is but I could shine a spotlight on some of the dense decisions that have been made under his management in the last few years.

 

[DWI Dale]

some of the dense decisions that has been made under his management in the last few years.

for example, the 17 goalies he has drafted?

 

[DWI Dale]

0/17 on producing a bonafide starter is pretty bad no? it shouldn't be considered "spouting off" to talk about these things

 

[DWI Dale]

Which OAs do you think the Hounds will be keeping?

I think fan choice would be Bobby Calisti, Billy Constantinou, and Cole Mckay.

Arguments could be made for Joe Carroll or Ethan Taylor possibly as well.

I could see Calisti, Kartye, and McKay.
We can carry a 4th through the start of the season and I could see that being Taylor providing Santa doesn’t drop a goalie on us in some magical way. See what the situation is like before cutting ties.

 

[DWI Dale]

I liked Kartye. Johnston too. Sucks these kids don't all get a chance at a last season.

[shot caller]

Anyone have any opinions on which pipeline goalie prospects will have a legit shot of making the team this year? Do you think we will go with two new goalies are augment with an OA??
