Kingston Frontenacs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[GoFronts]

If i remember right there was a bunch of rumours on here saying multiple targets (I seem to remember Bonk and Cristoforo's names coming up) wouldn't waive to come to Kingston.

I also think they overpaid because they had loved Miedema as a prospect since the draft and they thought they had him until Windsor swooped him up.

Yes players didn't want to waive to come here, but Wright didn't waive to certain spots either. I heard from multiple different people that Beaudoin was coming here for Wright and Haché in a package deal but Wright shut it down. I never heard the full package, but I almost don't think I want to hear it based on what we ended up with lol

I think it was clear Kingston wanted a RD and believed they could have Akey, Bonk, Christiforo, or Mews; and probably would have accepted Meidema, Lardis, VanVolsen, before Beaudoin.

Akey very well could have been in that package with Beaudoin for all we know. Management was also really high on Beaudoin and wanted to draft him but he went 10th and we ended up with Frasca at 17.

This is whole conversation is hypothetical of course since it never happened but just imagine Beaudoin and Battaglia were the Fronts' first two picks that year? Dear lord that would have been something.

Beaudoin would be nice for sure. But Kingston wanted a RD, and Barrie was not trading Akey is pretty much the whole story.

Here is what Kingston got for wright

Miedema
Gavin McCarthy, no show
Weir
Vellaris
Nettleton

Out of these picks there are soe this year also that they can use intrades or draft.

Miedema has been so-so, although he has picked his game this year

Vellaris is showing signs

Nettleton is in the US leagues so still trying to figure out him.

Weire Who knows

The trick to making the right deal work is to develop Vellaris, draft well with the picks, or turn them into stars that the team can use.

Suggestion might be package picks and Weir in a deal that brings you a 18/19-year-old
