That was until this trade, if you read the facebook groups, 99% of them are never coming back.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:
I mean you can pretty much assume they’re going to have little problem improving their win % going forward so we’ll see.

I don’t FB. Are you just there entertaining yourself or are you trying to be a voice of reason?

Oh I don't post anything in there, 99% of them don't have a clue whats happening, and any player traded is the greatest ever and we should get 10 picks/players in return.

The Petrou trades everyone in there wanted high draft picks. Saw someone mention sending him and a pick to London for Brochu.

They all thought Panwar was worth 2's and 3's.

People really have absolutely no idea how the league operates.

Oh. So it’s just Red Wing fans. Makes sense.

One of the forwards near/at the top of my wish list, Sasha Pastujov just went to Sarnia. Josh Bloom off to NB in the East yesterday. I really like the addition of Guryev but the Birds still haven’t been able to produce the offense I think they should be capable of with or without Othmann. Now, I’m not sure if Cranley was screened on his goal last night or not but I’m gonna pretend here like he for sure wasn’t. Last night’s game was textbook my biggest issue with Cranley. Flint up by 2 goals, Will having been solid all night and making some good saves. Got lucky a bit with Greyhounds missing the net but that’s fine. Teams often do that. Late in the 3rd and a wrist shot from the blueline beats Cranley and now it’s on. EN situation with only one goal needed to take it to OT. He may have been screened. Couldn’t quite tell from the tv angle but it’s always just a back breaking goal that should be a routine stop with this kid no matter how many spectacular saves he has in the game. Now 1st line forwards are starting to move around the league. Let’s see what Dent does.

Agreed. Very solid return.
It is and those picks are needed for this year. He’s good now though and is gonna be even better. Should work out for both teams. Two picks in next years draft is great. That OS 2nd will be mid to low 2nd round but that 5th will be high. The 3rd in ‘25 will be low though I bet. The Attack look to be setting themselves up for two monster years after this one. Wish James the best and hope he loves and excels in the Sound.

Is Flint in sell mode or just adjusting their roster?
With Stojkov and Guryev, they would have had 9 D.

Surprised to hear OHL4Life say they want another D, but make sense to shake things up to make a move for a forward after moving Othmann.

they may not, but i think thats the goal. they will move other players as well if it means upgrading.

Looks like enough ammo to add a few guys.
Man. I’d love to see them be able to keep all those 2023 picks in the first 3-4 rounds while selling whatever else they needed to acquire the necessary pieces. There’s like what? 5 real weeks of hockey before the deadline? By that point what will be obvious that they need? Impact Forward and possibly a Goalie not to mention the possibility of adding another top 4 D.

Even we’re not sure right now.

Looked good. Solid team you have
They’re slowly getting there. It was close tonight and got lucky two of those found their way behind Brochu. London looked better than I would have thought just reading the forum and looking at stats. Controlled the play for decent amounts of time. I’d like to see Dickinson live tomorrow, hopefully he’ll be in the lineup.
