London Knights 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 2)

[Slowpace]

Knights also released former Spitfire forward Christopher O'Flaherty today after 6 games with London ,0G,0A,0 Points after being acquired from Niagara Falls earlier this season.

He was a throw in with picks acquired.

 

[WorkHardEveryShift]

Got off lucky....this "experiment' should be over

Said it when they signed him. Waste of a card. Doing a favour to a buddy. The Ryder's a waste too

 

[HockeyPops]

Ryder is the 3rd youngest player on this roster. Maybe it's a bit early yet to give up on him?

 

[hockeylegend11]

Those are Baisov numbers!

Lol,though in 16 games played total this season he has 4 points,tied with the Boulton Brothers who have played 40 games combined.

 

[HockeyPops]

By my count, here are the London "A" cards used (25?)
McCue
Simpson
MacKinnon
Gazizov
Edward
George
Leonard
Boulton, S
Sim
Julien
Willmore
Crane
Barkey
Bonk
Johnston
Cowan
Halttunen
O'Flaherty
Copeland
O'Reilly
Van Bommel
Dickinson
Nichol
Boulton, R
Brzustewicz

Woolley - B card?
Van Gorp - B card?
Arrowsmith - B card?

 

[OHLTG]

On another note, Oliver Peer would look good in a Knights uni.

LOL you can photoshop it on him because that might be the only way

I will admit, I'm disappointed that Boulton was suspended. I believe that's twice now that he's been suspended before playing Windsor. I was looking forward to seeing his game in person.

 

[Ken Yates]

over the last 10 years these players scored 30 or more goals in a season and never made the show.

Matt Rupert 30, 33 Jonathan Gruden 30
J. J. Piccinich 30 Cody Morgan 30
Aaron Berisha 45
Sam Miletic 37
Cliff Pu 35 Most played AHL or Europe. Which player surprised you the most not making it?

The Johnstown Tomahawks host the Rochester Jr. Americans on Wednesday March 6. It's not even 6 hours away from you.

"Rochester."

"Why?"

"Good... question. Umm...."

Gruden does have 5 NHL games on his resume, 2 of them this season. He is only 23.

 

[Frank the Skank]

Bonk & Cowan on team Canada. Barkey coming back

Copeland and O'Flaherty don't count

 

[HockeyPops]

Copeland and O'Flaherty don't count

Why not?

 

[Knightsfan90]

Why not?

Didn't meet the min game threshold. I believe rule is they don't have to be signed to a card till they play there 10th game with the team

 

[HockeyPops]

That's only if they are on a B card

 

[ohloutsider]

Didn't meet the min game threshold. I believe rule is they don't have to be signed to a card till they play there 10th game with the team

No. They were A card players already so that would come with them. Only B card players have the 10 game window.

 

[HockeyPops]

I don't even know if an 18 year old can go on a B card, even as a first year OHLer. Anyone know?

 

[ohloutsider]

I don't even know if an 18 year old can go on a B card, even as a first year OHLer. Anyone know?

I don't think age matters. You can bring a 19 yr old up from JrB for a fill in and I don't think they would be an issue until 10 games. Windsor had a kid up for about 6 games last year and he was still on a B card. But somebody like HL would know for sure.

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Didn't meet the min game threshold. I believe rule is they don't have to be signed to a card till they play there 10th game with the team

They were already on a A card. If that was the case you would see 20 trades a week to circumvent A card rules. O'Flaherty has played 10+ games so who would take that card then???

 

[DeletedAccountt]

Once McConnell-Barker scored and Boulton pulled that cheap shot I shut it off. There is no room for that shit in the OHL today. What we know about concussions and after effects this crap doesn’t belong.

Hounds confirm Barker is dealing with a concussion.

 

[nelli27]

Hounds confirm Barker is dealing with a concussion.

Disappointing news, sorry to hear that. Hope he's able to return to the lineup soon, and that there are no long term issues. Dirty, dirty, dirty hit.

Definitely was dirty. Do you think this ends up with Sawyer Boulton maybe not even returning to the Knights lineup?

 

[rangersblues]

Kitchener traded Roman Schmidt to Kingston for a second and a third, this can only mean they are loading the cupboards and going after a big player, my guess it will be Petes Owen Beck

If anything trading Schmidt should end any speculation that Kitchener will make a play for Owen Beck. They decided to keep OA forward Mitchell Martin.

If anything Kitchener will try to land a dman or two to replace Schmidt and Hamara.

yep
