London Knights 2023-2024 Offseason Thread (Part 1)

I believe that cover is american? Does anyone know what the score was for the game? Would've loved to know who scored

He's Canadian.

 

[ArielNederland]

He's Canadian.

Oh I was thinking of someone else . Cover follows the Knights and several knight players on Instagram. Hopefully that's a good sign

The new scoreboard is very large in person looks great

Looks great but the text size for power play time is INSANELY small. More thought should have went into this.

1000%. Leonard could be a huge piece of the puzzle. He was a very underappreciated guy on the team last year and many fans do not get what value he possesses.

And many do appreciate his value. That was a great trade by Mark. Asset management master class lol.

Yah the penalties will be hard to see

Idk he wasn't very happy after Boulton beat him down
Threw his helmet then left the ice

It’s only one game but Hawery looked really good and gave me some Barkey vibes. He seems quick, good IQ, and good motor. Could be a real solid pick. Also impressed with Cover and Bidgood today. Look out for Nichol to do some damage this year too!

What happened? Boulton and Leonard had a fight? I left after the 1st period. Saw Woolley and Aboflan which was a dumb little fight that could have been stopped alot sooner then it was.

Too bad we couldn’t get a scoreboard that had a larger font for penalties, a buzzer for the end of the period, and was a little more puck resistant. Wait till visiting team find out they can clear the puck and fire it through our scoreboard.
Did I mention the amazing sound system??
Don’t get me started….

???? Did you read the post i responded to lol.

Check out the trade that brought Leonard here and tell me Mark didn't get great value asset wise as I posted, for what he gave up in that deal. That was my point. Sorry you missed it.
No idea about a tryout camp scrap and what that has anything to do with my post you responded to, esp 2 years after the deal.
Good on Bolts for winning a scrap (if that's what you meant)
"Alec Leonard, a second-round pick in 2026 (Mississauga) and a third-round pick in 2023 (North Bay) to the London Knights in exchange for defenceman Gerard Keane and a 12th-round pick in 2023 (Mississauga)."
Great asset management as I said, they got a 2nd/3rd and at least 2 years of a 5/6 D for a redundant player and made the OHL final year of trade. ( and either a 3rd year or trade or flat out release. Regardless a big win on that trade)
No idea where the IDK came from.

Feel good ? Very condescending
I'm telling you there is no value couple picks maybe he looked very disinterested out there and alot of friction between teammate.

I was wondering if the puck broke it saw Dylan walk over to look lol

Again your missing the point of my post you responded to lol.

Who did the Knights draft with the 2nd/3rd picks in the Keane/ Leonard deal?
Plus 2 years at least of Leonard in the lineup and maybe another?


IDK guess a fight 2 years after a trade that I thought LK did well on means more than the asset management lol.

Your the one who misinterpreted my post. Sorry you felt it condescending.

No idea wtf that has anything to do with my post u responded to lol.
I was talking about the trade that brought him here 2 yesrs ago, not this years pre camp. But ok.

lmao. A gigantic advertising machine without the simple yet very important details. Leave it to London to drop the ball yet again on this. Are there finally going to be replays?

I haven’t seen any of the main camp but I’d probably temper the enthusiasm of the performance of the players. It’s just camp.

Leonard took a shot at Ryder. Boulton came back with the cross check to Leonard's head and started pounding away. Leonard didn't seem please with it in the least.
My guess is ethier Willmore or Leonard are the odd man out this year

All 3 goalies played today did extremely well.
Seth Ronan could be a dark horse he had a bunch of grade A saves

Finn Wilson
And Medvedev have their knights gear already I take it we have 3 way battle for the net

Any other players gonna get a longer look?

There will be a few with players away at NHL camps but not sure which ones. I do hope Jaxon Cover is one. Man is he ever smooth and sneeky in the O zone

Gotta sign him to play preseason or no?

 

[ArielNederland]

I believe so.

 

[LDN]

I believe so.

Get it done Mark

Those who watched. What is covers comp?

I don't believe so I could be wrong

Cowan,Barkey,Evangelista would be who i would compair him to

 

[LDN]

I don't believe so I could be wrong


Cowan,Barkey,Evangelista would be who i would compair him to

That high end?! Holy smokes!

 

[LDN]

Man am I ready to watch some Knights hockey!

 

[LDN]

This year could share the captaincy between Barkey and Cowan (if Cowan is back), Bonk and Dickinson I could see with A’s I could also see either being captain. O’Reilly should wear an A as should Julien and/or Sim

 

[LDN]

Any more word on the cuts?
