London Knights 2022-23 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

[LDN]

Article doesn't say

Good move either way

 

[Purple Phart]

What are the conditions?

They're swapping DelMonte for a Green Giant.

Anyone know what the Knights are doing about their golf tourney this summer? I've played in it many many times, but seems it's taken a different direction the last few years. Any info?

 

[Fastpace]

If London have no room for Del Monte in their lineup, this must mean they have got something on the burner and we should probably expect a surprised announcement before training camp

I would not read much into it, he was on the outside looking in as the fourth OA anyway

Ya you are probably right !

Del Monte is just a player who was good enough to represent his country at a world junior tourney, on one of top 10 countries at this level. He would not have been good enough to play on a Knights team this fall

We can hope for exciting news! Lol

How many Knights will get picked?

I’m starting to think it’ll only be Cowan, Barkey and Bonk… what do you all think? Does anyone have an outside chance?

Bowen and Julien should be on the outside chance radar I would think..

 

[dmead]

Bowen has an outside chance. I dont think Julien showed enough, but maybe late, late rounds?

My predictions, which will be very wrong. But fun to try:

Pick #28 - Kaspar Halttunen - Toronto Maple Leafs (Although, I think good chance leafs trade this)
Pick #35 - Oliver Bonk - Chicago Blackhawks
Pick #68 - Easton Cowan - Nashville Predators
Pick #90 Denver Barkey - Pittsburgh Penguins
Pick #181 - Zach Bowen - Minnesota Wild
Pick #201 - Jacob Julien - Detroit Red Wings

If Halttunnen is there don’t forget Minnetian

Congrats to Connor McMichael!!
Hershey Bears win the Calder-AHL Cup Last Night.
McMichael scored the first goal for the Bears. They won in OT 3-2.

2023 NHL Draft prospect profile: Oliver Bonk is a solid two-way defenceman

It seems that with every passing year, there are more legacy players in the NHL draft. Oliver Bonk, son of former Montreal Canadiens centre Radek Bonk, is one such player. The younger Bonk…

And Justice for All

Glad to see this wasn’t swept under the table.

 

[crowncarrier]

Anyone know when the schedule will be released?

What about the Canadian WJC team?

Thank you Brochu! One of the best Knights goalies ever

I hate to be negative, but i really have a feeling Barkey is going to fall at the NHL Draft. Show me evidence of a 5'8" player from the past with 59 regular season points during his NHL Draft year that goes high? Don't tell the game has changed, teams still like bigger guys......i love this kids game so i hope im wrong, but i doubt it.

3rd rounder I think Cowan also lands in there

Is Brett Brochu a candidate for the Don Brankley Hall of Fame or is he worthy of having his number retired?

Also: Who is the next Knight who should have his number retired? Bo? Mitch?
