How many games will Thomas be out? Shoulder injuries can take a long time to heal. Let's hope not. If Thomas is out for a long period, do we suddenly become sellers and recoup draft picks and bodies for a run next year instead?

We should remember that this season, we have 11 players born in 1999. Our two overage players will be gone.

We can only keep 3 - 99' born players next season.

In my opinion, they either are all in this year or they sell and get ready for another run in a couple of years.
This is my thought on the roster.

There will be no "run" next year. It's rebuild time next year, regardless of if they buy or sell this year.

I think you’d see empty seats regardless for me personally I don’t care about the games but would go if they are here just because I love watching hockey only thing I actually care about is if we have guys play did they stay healthy

Sarnia has a population of just over 70K. The Sting are drawing 2,800 fans a game on average in a 4,100 seat venue. The series seems to have attracted what I expected in that market.

What will be the excuse if they have a small crowd in Oshawa for the game.

No excuse, just stating a fact. Sarnia is a small market. Oshawa is a bigger market.

If both games get around the average for a home game I don’t think you should expect much else

Im pretty sure it would sell out if the game was played here in Niagara
