I think we see the Boulton boys sparingly after the deadline if at all
I see them as great "throw-ins" to potential trades? Very specific elements to a team and immediately changes the way an opponent views your team. Also not very often Mark takes a swing and misses completely, however it has happened so its not impossible.

I think they'll both hang around all season, with Sawyer being a good candidate for the press box in a stretch run for injury backup. I haven't seen anything to convince me that Ryder is not already a great 4th-line option. He's a good skater, has decent hands/awareness, and a tireless motor. He won't turn into Easton Cowan, but as a 17 year old, he's shown more than a few others vying for the final few forward positions.

Well Sudbury is loading up this year as well. They just Dalibor Dvorsky from St Louis/Sweden.

They might have just taken the crown as the best line in the OHL with

Musty - Goyette - Dvorsky

They will be a big and nasty line to play against.
Agreed 2 1st rounders and one of the top scorers this year I’m guessing

Here's a blast from the past... As a kid in the early 1980s, I remember the Knights losing a playoff series against the Brantford Alexanders. That was the Dave Simpson (my favourite Knight of all time) led Knights against the Dave Gagner led Alexanders. Still pisses me off. That's all for now. Get back to work LDN.

We just got a little sample why Sawyer Boulton may not go anywhere at the deadline. And he didn't even get the instigator too, tell me this doesn't lift the team up
I agree solid post kids going to be big in the playoffs! Him and McCue could be a two headed monster at getting under the other teams skin and playing physical. I think some need to watch him play before writing him off

5-1 after 2 periods.
Halttunen = Laine 2.0 (good comparison courtesy of Brantford announcer)
Knights PK = Cowan breakaway
(Even still, stay out of the box)
Splitting up the twins paying dividends tonight.
Testa looks good, getting plenty of chances. I hope he has a killer season starting tomorrow!
Brantford goal on a 5 on 3 PP. "Alexanders" hurting with a depleted lineup.
