Kingston Frontenacs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[frontsfan67]

The challenge you are going to have is that you have a ton o of 05n on the team. Who do you keep, and who do you let go?

Don’t think vaccari will have any value think he’s as good as gone. Uens the same, and I also heard at one point he was getting NCAA interest because he is very smart (not just because of hockey)

Here’s how I see things:

Vaccari- gone/in mix
Uens- gone/in mix
Bishop- back
Burns- gone 3rd round St. Louis
McGowan- back
Pieniniemi- gone 3rd round Pittsburgh
Hay- unsure but leaning towards back. 7th round Tampa bay
Miedema- 60/40 gone 4th round Buffalo
Willis 70/30 gone 4th round Nashville
Pickell- gone/ in mix
Soto- back
Uronen- gone 6th round Vegas

Have Willis or Miedema signed yet with the NHL teams

Not yet. Year isn’t over though. I think Miedema will sign for sure. Willis not 100% sure. Would’ve assumed after the big memorial cup win and his season last year or the first couple of months this season he would’ve signed but he didn’t yet. Pretty confusing.

If you are looking at Betts, I am not sure that he will want to come here and be back up.

It would likely be a situation that London has. Medvedev as the 1A, Elliot 1B(Medvedev 17 too and Betts will be 17 next year.) and if they went and got a guy like Hillebrandt, scraps from another team it would be the equivalent of Elliot being picked up off waivers from Saskatoon.

Is it a mild rebuild tweek If so Betts and Vaccari should be ok

I think it’ll be a big time rebuild and they’ll struggle to score goals next year.

The question becomes for Coooper what do you see t his team doing next year

Definitely a bottom 4 team in the conference. Likely bottom 2 imo.

Miedema will be interesting as I see Adams gone as GM so up to new guy. I would not be surprised to see them wait to see what he shows at camp.
Wilis probably the same unless he shines in playoffs
Uronen will be done no matter what ifnot in the Vegas system then back home. You do not want to tie up a Euro and OA in one player

Not yet. Year isn’t over though. I think Miedema will sign for sure. Willis not 100% sure. Would’ve assumed after the big memorial cup win and his season last year or the first couple of months this season he would’ve signed but he didn’t yet. Pretty confusing.

If you are not going to be competitive then why give up a draft pick just keep Vaccari. He is sutable for what you need.

Definitely a bottom 4 team in the conference. Likely bottom 2 imo.

Definitely not Bottom 2 Ottawa and NB are gong to be worse. Petes will be better and you stillhave a pretty good returning crew coming vback next year. Oshawa will also lose a lot ofplayers so you never know
