No you don't get it. Yes it would be an impulse move. Because while the team has done well so far, you still can't be entirely sure what you have because they are still a fairly young team who is just learning to win. Trading assets for a player who is going to be here for one year would be an impulsive move because you are still expecting next year to be the year you are serious contenders. Now, if things keep going the way they are going a couple months down the road, then maybe you look for an upgrade.
Also where are you getting it that Jodoin can't be called up? He gets 10 games on a B card
No my point was they may want to keep him down there for as long as possible in order not to utilize an A card on him.
See I can tell we already differ. A guy like Gareffa would have been an upgrade on every OA the Spits have. Going out later on shopping arguably costs more assets and you would get a guy for much fewer games. The Spits are right in the middle of the average age for OHL teams just like they were last year. Just because your best players are your youngest players doesn't mean it's a fairly young team. You have all OA spots accounted for, you have your 19/18 year olds accounting for 9 other roster spots that's pretty much what you expect for average age.
