The Sarnia Sting are clearly prioritizing future drafts over immediate wins with their recent trades. Is this a smart rebuilding strategy, or are they sacrificing too much present potential? Trading a recent acquisition like Johnston seems like an admission they misjudged his fit. What do you think went wrong there? Meanwhile, dealing Kapageridis before he even played a game for them raises eyebrows. Is this a sign they aren't confident in their ability to develop talent, or is it simply a shrewd business move? With their overagers still in place, are they trying to thread a very difficult needle between competing now and building for the future? Is this a viable strategy in the OHL, or are they setting themselves up for mediocrity? Let's hear your takes on the Sting's approach and what it means for their long-term success. I predict this strategy will backfire and they'll regret not giving Kapageridis a chance. What are your bold predictions for the Sting's remainder of the season?
