The last time I commented on JR, he had just finished losing to Saginaw after spending almost the entire game playing from his knees. While I will admit he has looked much better the last two games, I still don't believe he's done much better than Kooy or even Johnson could've done and at a much steeper price.
Kooy and Johnson were not great, but they were also victims of a very green defense and an offense that was having major problems scoring goals. JR came in at a time when most of our NHLers had returned, the offense was starting to come together and the defense was beginning to figure things out. I honestly don't think the results would've been any different regardless of who'd been in net. I'm not saying JR isn't better (or at least more experienced) than the other two, but I still don't believe he was worth the cost and I feel bad for Kooy, who didn't deserve to have to watch the last 11 games from the bench.
Idk hes an amazing player no dout but can the knights afford to send draft picks in a deal for a player who might show you. The only way i do the trade is if they take cheap price,which i dout or if Hughes says ill play in the ohl next season only way i see a deal happeningI think we should really try to get the rights to Jack Hughes from the Steelheads. I know it would be costly, but if he came over we would be laughing.
No fault of Raaymakers play or talent level, but there are some(myself included)that feel Kooy or Johnson could have won the same number of games as Raaymakers with our current lineup. He's yet to steal us a game in the standings thus far. Kooy deserves to get the net and not sit for 12 straight..I don't care if Parsons is there ahead of him. No goalie deserves to sit 12 straight.I don't see how it's possible to even argue that Raaymakers isn't the difference-maker. I think some people on here don't like his goalie style or don't like the fact he hasn't had the "stamp of approval" as an NHL pick, but it's hard to argue he isn't playing great. He's also been doing this since the beginning of the playoffs last year when he took his job back in SSM from Villalta. He had a rough go last year when he was given the starting job, but goalies figure it out at a later age and i think JR figured it out late last season.

I feel like if Hughes plays ohl he will want to play for us.Idk hes an amazing player no dout but can the knights afford to send draft picks in a deal for a player who might show you.

I don't mind the trade to bring in Raaymakers as a settling presence.. however I do not like the price we paid to get him. I realize some will say you have to pay to play, but I don't feel this season is a season I'd be tossing picks around to get players for 1 round of the playoffs at best. Yes he settled some rough waters, but this team is still a mess regardless of who is manning the pipesI was and still am in support of the goalie trade.
The team didnt have confidence in either IMO.
Kooy was yanked in 2(?) of his starts.
Last year was a perfect scenario he walked into.
Althou Um no goalie coach lol, I know the kid has talent. Ive seen him play alot. Has alot of solid physical tools.
Confidence and the mental game can be a grind for tenders, esp youngins.
Im sure they are working with him everyday to get past it.
I will say 12 straight is too long thou.

Important to remember that sometimes fans aren’t exposed to all problems. Maybe the bleeding was internal and a culture change was needed. The trade has helped so why is this still talked about negatively?No one here arguing Raaymakers talent, we think the organization placed a band-aid where there were no bleeding, he's now part of our team and we are happy to have him !!!

What’s the point of this post? To get last word? I simply am stating that things changed for the good since JR trade. Sometimes change is needed to correct problems behind the scenes. It may or may not be true but not everything is black and white.Since it is understood fans only comments on external problems so what's the problem with their outside comments ? Fans seen a band-aid appeared where fans did not see bleeding , fans questions the value of the needless band-aid !!!
I think the perception of an improved team merely coincides with the timing of the trade and is not a result of the trade. I also think the dynamic of the "team" by definition hasn't changed.The trade helped improve the team. Record shows that.

Maybe Thomas only got 1 game cause they are already comfortable inviting him.
Easy
I thought Bouchard was the best defenceman team ontario had
I think Thomas and Formenton Make it this year. Bouchard next year.
