I’m sure some are signed for next year when a lot of the top guys head on out

I do t get why kids keep signing given they already have too many guys. Even with just 2 imports it’s 17?

Yeah probably nothing more than depth but atleast they’ll have some roster spots

We all know that it will be cut down to 2 imports

why would he sign to be the 21st forward?

why would he sign to be the 21st forward?

With a year of development at St. Andrews, if they can get him here next year he would probably be top half of the 20 forwards... but I agree no point in signing right now given the logjam.

thats kinda what i dont get, sign 20 but why would kid sign on just to be 21? he probably could get a better deal next year.

i dont get signing 20 forwards either but its not my money. hope the kids know what they are signing up for anyways. mark is usually very honest.

Other teams take those scraps for a premium later. Most of the time not for their overall benefit. Also a reason London can always be competitive.

We would gladly take him in Peterborough as well. Re-unite him with his brother Masen who just signed the other day…

I think the Petes could afford a 5th or 6th to trade for him.

For the kids sake. Peterborough makes sense. Get it done Mark. Clear the logjam a bit

you can do better, dont trade for a guy just because hes from the hometown, trade for the best player

You do realize that some of these sighing's are to "B" cards and will be moved to Knights affiliated teams after pre season is done and some when players are returned from main NHL camps

im just curious why kids would sign, even next year they already have what, 16 kids committed without any new ones in? thats why johnston never plays, others keep signing above him.
