I feel as though we are really set on D especially if Loponen shows (that kid is being severely underrated imo).
Ross-Phillips
Thompson-Stratis
Ribau-Serentis
That seems sufficient to me... would prefer a scoring winger
Not me. I’d like to see a 19yr old D at least in the top 30 range. If not, a comparable OA though that would mean giving up Carson or Levin. I think some of the D could be really good next season, but honestly don't think a current wolves D is within top 40.

That's totally fair I think that'd be an above average D corps depth with a below average top 2 so we could do with adding that top D like you say. Depends on the assets we have to trade. I thin you see Ross or Phillips or possibly even Thompson in the top 50 by years end... and if Loponen comes I wager he's top 40.

Im aware of those two players. I still think he would of been a longshot, specially if you look at the make up of the roster. Leading more to a vet team and that's not counting probably your first 3 pics (from draft) making the club.

Way I see it, sucks for wolves fan and probably the wolves org as well losing a player who was expected to have a competitive camp... but good on the kid, if nothing else it will benefit him in life. I'll never fault a kid for taking the college path if it's offered even though I hate it as a fan

I don't pay much attention to the school commitment. Ninety percent of the time they don't pan out. Schools defer kids and then you never hear or see them actually going. On a positive note it shows they are on the radar. I find the commitment announcement is a bargaining tool. Time will tell..

Hey all, several notes here ahead of camp...
First off, hearing that Dichow is looking less likely to show unless Montreal can make him come. I have been told that Montreal would like him here, but his team back home doesn’t want to release him, and that he’d like to come here if Montreal wishes it yet he can’t get out of his commitment back home. Odds are high we are going with Weeks to start the year but they feel comfortable with him if they have to.
Loponen is currently 50/50 and will come down to the Maple Leafs decision for what’s the best course to develop him. Right now he hasn’t committed. Same source.
OHLinsiders is reporting SDA has requested a trade from Peterborough, would not mind acquiring him at all for an offensive boost.
