Man, I know the Knights don’t trade with the Rangers and with good reason, but Jackson Parsons is head and shoulders better than Austin Elliott.

Parsons is one of the missing pieces for our team, but I doubt the Knights and Rangers pull the trigger on an Elliott and Parsons OA swap (plus pieces or picks).

Great complete game tonight. 2nd they let their foot off a bit and also coasted the last 5 mins but to be expected up 4-0. Full marks to Parsons on the shutout and another goalie clinic. Team still gave up some grade A chances down the stretch and it would've been nice to see the guys make a better effort to seal up the SO. Parsons was forced to earn it but was up to the task. So nice to have a tender that you know should give the team a chance to win any given night he's in net.

Jussi was pissed at the non call on Ellinas. Wonder if he sends a tape in or lets it go? Scientist should do a study on the game of hockey. Two refs and two linemen on the ice while an illegal infraction is committed and all 4 go blind just at the moment it happens. It's a mystery where all the fans see it yet the on ice officials are baffled why the coach is pissed off at them.

Based on Jussi going heavy on Parsons, I can see Schaubel getting just two starts before the break.
Dec 6-Soo
Dec 18-Sarnia.

No disrespect to Parsons who has been borderline elite in net but is there any scenario where MM is happy Parsons is playing as much as he is to keep Schaubel under 10 games, keeping that ‘A’ card slot open for a player not to be named?

I suggested a little while ago, that it wouldn’t surprise me if Schaubel is kept under 10 games, the four A cards does not include him, and he is swapped out with Edwards at Komoka for the rest of the season, maybe at the Christmas break. Then, since Komoka won’t make the playoffs, Schaubel is back with the Rangers at the end of the JrB regular season.

This allows us to give A cards to Bilecki, Anstis, hopefully Valentini, and if Headrick’s return is too distant, a Xu if he were to report.

It will have allowed Edwards to see a lot of action in the first half, get into some games here in the second half to see if he can be up to the task at this level, while getting Schaubel busy minutes in the second half.

(Was this the development path for these two from the start of the season?).

Valentini I’m pretty sure doesn’t require an A card as he wasn’t drafted by the Rangers.

Bilecki is already on an A card and the only A card we have used I think.

Antsis I can’t see not using an A card. That’s 2.

Leaving us 2 of the following.

Schaubel - most likely
Headrick - most likely
Cameron - unlikely and I think all parties are good with him on a B.
Hextall - if he comes demands an A card and rightfully so. He is that good.
Xu - would he bump Schaubel or Headrick? Or does he sign a B card if he is interested in coming. I’m guessing B.
Bray - I don’t think he bumps Headrick or Schaubel. Would be a solid add but on a B card.
