Is there a chance the Afanasyev is just a loan and he'd be back in Windsor if there's a season? Or has it been confirmed that he's gone gone?

He's on loan from Nashville to Russia. My guess was that he's gone simply to get ice time, plus good competition. If the OHL returns, I'd imagine he has a shot to return.
I would be surprised if anyone could draw a conclusion off of a 3g 10a season and saying he will be a real good one. I would say like with most players at that age the jury is out. Throw in most likely a lost season of development like with all 16 year olds going into this year. When he hopefully returns for a full year the roster will be totally different.

Douglas
Angle
Egor
Playfair
Rupoli
Corcoran
Rafkin
Zito isn't a star type guy who can carry the play, he needs a lot of talent around him. The question becomes where does that talent come from??
Zito looks like a good un. We need a few more solid 2-way players...Re Afanasyev: On a plus side, one of the 2nds we got for DiPietro became Pasquale Zito, who looks like he's going to be a real good one.

Zito has skill and can skate but carry a team, not a chance. Will be a good 2nd or 3rd line role player.I think he’s very underrated. He will be a kid that will carry a team!! Problem is the coaching. Will he destroy this kid like he did with the 02’s?

Windsor may have all those guys back except for Rafkin and Playfair. Egor may only be loaned out until OHL starts. Windsor will need 3 OAs and without Angle and Douglas signing, they should be back. One of Corcoran or Rupoli should be back as OA this year.
"The fans won't watch it" is just flat out wrong.Since the NHL is looking for development of young players, no contact hockey will not develop these players. Games will look like a skills competition. Better yet, just have the games be a best of 100 shoot out. It will not be hockey. The fans won't watch it and it won't benefit the players.
Well I see they chopped down a fair size tree and filled in that retention pond in front of the WFCU, would imagine that fence around it will be next followed by 200 new parking spots, should put a parking garage in
That makes one of us...As long as theres an OHL season, I'll watch.
Are they really new spots when about 200 spots are being taken away. It more like they are just relocating themWell I see they chopped down a fair size tree and filled in that retention pond in front of the WFCU, would imagine that fence around it will be next followed by 200 new parking spots, should put a parking garage in
I was speaking more to the point that there's a good chance that there isn't much of an OHL season. If you have one it might end up being a portion of games which isn't going to move the needle for these guys. Those guys I mentioned that would be gone Zito would be expected to be a top line or top 6 guy for 21-22. I can get the appreciation for Zito but once again this organization needs in an injection of top tier talent immediately. I find it interesting that we can find holes in the games of Foudy and Cuylle but when it comes to guys like Zito/Boka.DiGiacinto those guys are talked in glowing terms. When did Windsor start hating top tier talent?
So there’s no top tier talent in Windsor? and you’re comparing zito with Boka and DiGiancito?
Come on, what you’re saying is not fair and not accurate.
That makes one of us...
