Here's what London gave up:
London Knights General Manager Basil McRae announced today that the team has acquired the rights to forward Sonny Milano from the Flint Firebirds. In exchange, the Knights send a conditional 15th Round pick in the 2016 OHL Priority Selection to Flint. If Milano plays for the Knights in one regular season or playoff game the conditional pick for Flint turns into Sudbury’s 2nd round pick in 2019 and North Bay’s 4th round pick in 2016.

Why.. why would they make this trade? Why would he be sent down?! His point production hasn't been bad for an AHL rookie.

Why would who make this trade?

I agree with you regarding his production, especially considering he's only 19.

The message has been sent that even if you produce well, if you don't perform the way the FO wants you to, something will be done about it.

Sure, freeing up a forward spot will work out well for bringing in a D. There is no relation.

Our AGM already said Milano is reporting back to the LEM's. Nothing to see here.
 
What is the forward depth like on the Crunch?

Complete speculation but this entered my mind:

Jarmo has been talking to Stevie Y about a trade for Drouin involving Milano. Steve doesn't want/need Milano on the Crunch this year and would rather see him develop on a junior team this year that making a run at the Memorial. Jarmo talks to his buddy Basil, trade for rights happens, and Jarmo comes back and says 'well if we make this trade, Sonny is going to be able to play in London for the rest of the year'.

Spitballing but something along these lines makes more sense to me than London just doing it out of the blue for no reason.

I read all of your posts in the voice of Sherlock Holmes being played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Hope you have a ladder to help you get out from the rabbit hole. haha. I like the idea, and I would be all about it. But I think Drouin has a lot more value than Sonny.

Oh, I agree. I was thinking more along the lines of Rychel + Milano for Drouin, with Milano reporting to London. Just spitballing, a very curious move involving Milano.

That is certainly an interesting take on the situation
 
Remember Markus Nutivaara? The 21 year old defenseman GMJK drafted in the 7th round who only had 2 points in 35 games with Karpat in the Liiga?

Through 38 games he has 4 goals + 15 assists with a +9 and only 12 penalty minutes. Very impressed with his development this season.
 
I have no idea if such a move would be realistic.

I do know that Drouin 1) Is a center/wing who has never gotten a shot at center in the pros. 2) Has racked up assists at an elite rate (top of the league) playing bottom six minutes. Some of that might regress, but his shooting percentage (3-4%) will go up as well.

We could definitely use a player like him.

I agree. Milano + what to get him? A pick? A secondary prospect? Clarkson? :laugh:

I think at minimum it would be Milano and Rychel or maybe they have no interest in Milano at all, he's not a top prospect. My guess is that they'd want Rychel and Hartnell with a bit retained, and then probably even a pick on top of that. Just a guess though.

Man, going by the poll in the mains you would think Provorov won the WJC Dman of the tourny or something.

I only saw the elimination games, so maybe take this with a grain of salt, but I thought Provorov was better than Werenski. I've always preferred him, so maybe it's just me, but to my mind he's a better defender and produced a similar amount of offence despite playing for a lower scoring team.
