I really like the pickup of D. Robinson, he has real presence on D.
We need another one with some experience to play after Thompson on the right side. Maybe the Wolves can afford to deal P.Robinson for a 19 year old.

Yeah well I’m not sure that will happen as we don’t have much in picks to deal with and nobody in the system not currently on the roster I believe somebody really wants.My number void I see on this team would be to add a legitimate point producer to play in the top 6.

That won’t help our problem up front.Or inquire about Woolley to replace Manikis: OS has four OAs.
If anything North Bay really lucked out getting Petrov and the young 17 year old dman from Russia who hits like a truck. Then add in quality overage players in Coe and Russell. They really hit the jackpot when you factor in those players with a good solid core of 16 & 17 year old first year players. They will go far this season.One of my big takeaways from last night was that Petrov is a heck of a player. Almost forgot OHL teams were allowed europeans. Must be nice.

The ideal thing would have been for Tumaala and Savage to sign. But that is a 0 percent chance now.
So I say strengthen the defence and then we can fly with that. We have enough assets back there to afford to lose on of these younger guys. With Mania, Hoover, Collins, Larkin, Cochrane Anamia, and Bishop we will fine for the future. So move P. Robinson out and bring another right shooting 19 year old for the top 4 and we will be ok.
That way we have D Robinson and that other guy to bring back as OA’s next season.

Red Savage 18 years of age. Drafted by Sudbury currently in college at Miami Ohio. Let go of what?Savage? What's he like 30 now? Lol
Haven't heard his name brought up in years.
Let it go WJ
Looks like we're riding it out within for the most part.
I'm aware who is he draft status etc. Point was nobody has ever thought he'd be a wolf. He was always going to the same school as his father. That ship looks to have sailed. Perhaps our luck has run out drafting Finnish players lol. However lucky to have had number 1 picks so close together.Red Savage 18 years of age.

You may be surprised next season. Wouldn’t count Red out yet. His one reason to play in college was to have a season with his brother. Being drafted and 19 he may end up in the OHL next season. The ship may have sailed but it doesn’t mean he can’t take a speed boat back!I'm aware who is he draft status etc. Point was nobody has ever thought he'd be a wolf.

Not a bad way to go. Probably was too late to arrange AP call upI’d play Hoover on the left defence spot and put Payton Robinson on the right wing forward 4th line.
WJ
They did call him up. They're just playing Hoover on the wing despite him being a better d-man than P.Robinson.Not a bad way to go. Probably was too late to arrange AP call up
