Numbers wise for offensive defenceman he would be in the tier with guys like nelson and brz the d from Kitchener. I don’t know about his defence but look at his totals from last year since being traded to you guys from Niagara. In 33 games got 43 points. That’s on pace for 88 points in a full season.
Dionicio is not a good defence man imo. He is very skilled and wreckless and undisciplined which leads to quite a bit offence and some undesirable things
Ahh I see. Wasn’t sure. Haven’t watched much of him just have seen his totals. I don’t know if kingston would want that. We will see.
not trying to be argumentative, but i think you need to watch him play before asserting him as a top d.
I’m saying for offensive numbers. You don’t put up numbers like that being some scrub. That’s all I’m saying. Whether he would be a better forward or d that’s a different discussion but those numbers really pop out. I’m sure that he’s nowhere near the other 2 guys playing defensively.
hes outstanding offensively, no doubt, but struggles otherwise. i think i got confused when you said that he was one of the best in the league, not one of the best offensive d in the league.
Oops! Sorry meant to say offensive d lol didn’t realize until you brought that up
The only two overage defenceman available at that price would be Josh Kavanagh and Cam Gauvreau. I am not sure what James Jodoin would go for as I am not a familiar with him as he is in the western conference. All other potential overage defencemen would likely be dealt by a team that are rebuilding and they will want more for those players. The cost would be more like what teams got for Braden Hache, Jacob Holmes and Brayden Hislop earlier in the summer.
First I think you need to revisit the OHL page Bancroft Biuldogs
I think that all the Petes oa and 19-year-olds will be avail at the deadline. The Petes are not going to even think about moving Mayer until then and they see how he does and how much interest there is. If he has a good start then the interest from the West will be huge.
The Petes will trade Owen Beck for sure at the deadline. They will also likely trade Konnor Smith and possibly Conner Lockhart and Sam Mayer. They could also deal Liam Sztuska. They will likely keep overage Jax Dubois, 19 year old players Jonathan Melee, Chase Lefebvre and Donovan McCoy as they likely will return next season to play as the Petes three overages players. They will also likely keep import Tommy Purdeller. The Petes will want a mix of a players and draft picks for the players they trade. They will need players to replace the players they trade. The way I see it the teams that will be sellers include Peterborough, North Bay, Sarnia, Kitchener and maybe Brantford and Windsor and the teams that will be buyers include Saginaw, Sudbury, Guelph and maybe Barrie, Kingston and Owen Sound. I not sure if London has the assets to make many moves. They have no players drafted in the 1st round that they are willing to trade and have only two, 2nds and three, 3rds. They may be able to make one big trade or couple of smaller ones. To do so they will have to part with couple of their 17 year old rookies. It should be an interesting deadline this year.
I’m confused on the Bancroft bulldogs thing. Hamilton relocated to brantford not Bancroft?
uens is 19 this year I believe he’s just not an ideal 19 year old defenceman. If he grew a couple inches and put on 30 lbs I’m sure he would be much more effective but watching him game after game he gets knocked off the puck easily and can’t hit people back because he is so small.
a number 4 d is going to cost them so i think they will stay pat until January. Why give up picks for a team that is mid-pack this year. Again this year is going to be strange in the East.
he might be eligible but unless he gains some size or learns how to play along the boards he won't be 3 more years. Would you usehim as an OA defenceman

Good chance KGN does considering the cost of acquisition. When drafting/trading for a small high offence potential D, you’re probably expecting it to pay off at 19 & 20.
Ludwinski was already sent back to Kingston on Monday morning
Lots of time for what. We were fleeced in that trade. Again, the kid tries hard
