I get what your saying, we will just have to see one of us will eat crow, obviously I hope I am not the one but will acknowledge so if the scales tip that way.

I understand the heuristics but I have seen improvement since his joining the knights, I don’t think this is the same tender that your describing.

In all fairness, he has mostly played the powder-puff teams. The Ottawa game all he needed to do was make the first save and the strong defence in front clears the puck. No scrambling etc. If all he ever needs to do is make the first save, you’ll be fine. But, when the going gets tough in the playoffs, I’m not sure games vs OS and Guelph matter a heck of a lot.

EDIT:
I understand what you are saying and he may very well turn it around. I’m not actually saying he won’t. My issue is whether it is prudent to roll the dice on it “IF” other alternatives present themselves. There may very well not be any other alternatives. George seems the most likely option but if OS is not entertaining a trade then there is not much you can do.

I can’t remember what the Import rules are but I am pretty sure you could trade Medvedev in that deal. I don’t think they need to play the full year anymore. Flipping Medvedev and picks over to OS for George may be an option worth considering.

Medvedev will not be going anywhere, he is just too valuable. He is also not an import.

Even better. You can lessen the picks you give Owen Sound for quite possibly two seasons of the best goalie in the OHL.

I don't know for sure, but it sure seems London goes with an OA goalie waaay more often than not.

 

[Otto]

18th in Goals against average and 10th in Save % doesn't equate to "the best goalie in the OHL" And from what I've read in this thread wins are all that matter George is 23rd with 4. He has zero playoff wins in his career.

The Knights do not need, nor want a very beatable goalie in Carter George

Otto is correct, using @OMG67s criteria, George is crap.

Let’s stick to the current W streak leader in the CHL in Elliot!
