Kingston Frontenacs 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I missed it, all I saw was MacDonell go down in a heap. No initial signal by either ref when they came over to look at the video. Replay wasn't shown in the arena. Calling it a cross-check instead of a high stick, it's possible they saw an intent to injure. MacDonell went to the bench initially, then to the room and didn't return.

Ended up with 14 stitches

Does anyone have a replay/description of the Kelly major? It was right off the faceoff and it was a pretty quick review so it must've been somewhat clear, and Kelly isn't someone I'd have guessed would take a major.

I assume he'll be suspended for the first 2 games, but I'm not sure he would've been in the lineup regardless.

The one thing that stuck out to me is how often I heard Mondoux's name - even though they said Mandoux every single time. Hopefully he doesn't play in the playoffs because it'd mean there's 2 D injuries, but he looks like a steady defensive defenseman with size for the next couple years.

It was off a faceoff. MacDonnell gave him a little cross check and Kelly 1-upped his with one straight in the face and twice as hard. Not sure how many games he gets but definitely will be a suspension. Doesn’t matter too much anyways though since he likely doesn’t play much in playoffs.

With all but the lottery finalized looks like Kingston picks 9th and 17th, before sitting until I believe the 71nd pick (FLNT 4th).

Past 9th picks: Shutron 2004, Werek 2007, Bennett 2012
Past 17th picks: Dunkley 2016, Frasca 2022.

Need to nail these picks and form a new core to build around after this year.

Agreed. And take players that are going to come instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and speculate about where kids may want to get traded to in case their dad is coaching a team. Do your homework. Same with the import draft. Look how good it is when you can get solid imports here.

Any idea on who would be available at #9 and #17? Who are the top prospects for the upcoming draft anyway?

From what I've heard there's a consensus top 4, then another glut of 6-8 guys in the next group that'll come down to preference.

Fairly forward heavy draft too I believe, which makes me think they look at the import draft for D.

I feel like we should be looking for forwards in this draft as well so this helps if it is a forward-heavy draft. I have really liked both Mondoux and Moore and how they've played when given the opportunity tbh.
 
Talk on X about the CHL allowing 3 imports instead of 2.

Would be huge for us. We can nail down the 2 Uronen twins and someone to go with them(maybe another Finnish guy?)

I believe Kingston has gotten really lucky with Finns. Lammikko, Ikonen, Meerlavien and probably more. Excuse the spellings went from memory.

Off the top of my head over the past 10-15 years Ikonen and Vainonen for 2 years together, Lammiko was great, meralainen had lots of amazing saves. Defence wasn’t great that year though so not the best numbers, Rasanen and Nyman together the same year and now Uronen and Pieniniemi.

I’d argue either rasanen and Nyman or uronen and Pieniniemi the strongest years for the Finns. Ikonen and Vainonen a rather close 3rd place.
