Kitchener Rangers 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[Slowpace]

Even if the prospect is Hawery, that’s light for both Allen and Luchenko. Way light.

Yes, would need more. Hunter and George Burnett have done deals before and have a good relationship. It will be win-win, if it happens.

Makes no sense that part of the Allen trade was a pre payment for Luchenko. No need to do that. Why? To lock up Luchenko to London to be announced after the WJC? These (handshake) WJC deals happen every year without pre payments. That Allen cost probably recognizes that there’s a decent chance that he could play an OA season in London next year.

Using the Owen Beck trade from Missy to the Petes as a comparable, 1.5 years of Luchenko should cost in the ballpark of: Hawery, another young prospect, 2x2nds, 3rd, 4th.

London only has one 2nd left. Gonna be tough to match that price unless more 3rds are involved or another body.

Don't be shocked if some of the picks for Allen are partial payment for a possible part 2 of that deal for a certain London born player at Team Canada camp. Balance of payment would need to include a top young Knights prospect.

To be fair, that is the actual price for a defenceman that the Knights paid. Look at the Jorian Donovan trade last year very similar in terms of pics just the Donovan trade was one more pick than the Allen trade.

However, I’m hoping you’re right and that London is looking at Luchanko. Semenov, Gerber, Bidgood, Read and Hawery could all be in play…. But I think the Knights are done.

I would compare the Luchanko trade to Owen Beck. That trade netted the Aiden Young, two 2nd round picks and a 3rd round pick.

Luchenko likely not back next year, Philly kept him for a while this year. Cam Allen may also not be back. Both could be 1/2 season rentals. Didn’t mean to hijack the Rangers thread...was just responding to possible return for Andonovski.
