seems right...

not everyone is the niagara ice dogs giving away good players to london for nothing.

And not everyone can expect getting much for nothing out of London as well. , Goure is a very good player but you can keep him, he's not into Bunk or Diclinson values, I personally view Barlow as one of top 5 players in this league, we can talk about him if you like

you can keep him? I don’t have him lol. I’m from Windsor, I’m asking why would Owen sound who is 3 points behind London and hasn’t had Barlow at 100 percent this year trade anyone. you can argue they are better then London with Barlow at 109 percent

is he close to being back?

He's not expected to play this week but should be ready when play resumes after the Christmas break. He's been in Toronto seeing a specialist for his back. This is the first time he's been on the ice for practice in a few weeks.

McCue and Nichol both played well yesterday.
Anytime the Knights lose a game, people automatically rag on the same player they have chosen to rag on all season… Even if the opposite is true.

No problem with people taking issues with players who were undisciplined and hurt the team yesterday. But in general a pretty good effort short handed on the road.

They had a passable game but IMO Nichol and McCue don't bring enough to the table to warrant keeping them Especially MM39. Any OA on this team should be a top 6 guy. 39 Is in the bottom 6. Cut bait with him now. If you need to throw in Nichol for a deal, so be it.

The planets must be aligning...now if I can only get you to admit that Simpson isn't the answer in net.

Lol

This kind of critics don't help the team any !

We remember all the naysayers of a year ago, the team still made it to league finals, this season is not over yet, still lots of hockey to play, and with your none OHLers too

Some of the same say it’s time to sell

We gave up Paris,Levin, Humphrey and Crane for .... only serviceable thing we got back was picks. Players we got back are not even listed on the roster on the Knights page.

and London easily absorbed the education committments for those players Niagara cast-off, which I'm guessing is a big reason the knights were recipients of so many pick trades from Niagara.
Federkow is better than I thought previously.

He's worth at least Bunk or Diclinson, plus picks.
He'd instantly be your second best player .

It's a possibility but I think with what they have right now it would be a silly thing to do. Little tweaks here and there with three more months of system learning they be right there. IMHO

Of course I have, that is all I do pretty near is watching hockey and replayed games, I am retired lots of time on my hands and the ice isn't hard yet to go ice fishing. So far this season I saw Owen Sound playing Sarnia Barrie and the three games against London, all on tv mind you where I can view game replays

Well, maybe I should revisit my comment, Goure is very good strong on the puck has great vision and knows where the net is, what I really meant in my comment was viewing from this year's London needs and how much will it cost and not disrupt this team chances this year, other wise what good would this trade be. To an other team he could worth a lot more the price you have suggested but to London he would not make that big of a difference if they were to lose good young defenders. Now if it was for Barlow that would make it very interesting because of next year he would be a killer in a Knight uniform.

Jack Beck went for a 2nd and 3rd but somehow OS fans think Goure will bring a star player… I think the conversation starts with a 2nd and 3rd OR Nichol and two 3rds

The Attack will not give up Goure or Barlow this year for any price .
Thus my ridiculous ask .
I hope you saw the point I was trying to make .

Yikes never a good look for a young player. Was it his back last year in the playoffs as sadly he was a non factor for the London series? He can play with a bit of an edge is it catching up to him do you think? I like the kids game when he is healthy.

LOL. Hell must have frozen over.
I'm not going to say he's not the answer but he definitely could play better. We were spoiled with Brochu. We need Simpson to steal us some games. I'm more concerned with the Defense not playing up to standards and the lack of any bottom end offensive talent.
