Nothing to see here. Niagar Jr. Knights just feeding picks back to their parent club.

 

[dmead]

The rumours of impropriety just keep floating to the surface. Kinda like QAnon.

 

[tjziel]

So I still have gut feeling Kaeden Johnston is gone at some point. Maybe to Peterborough for picks.

In other news, I think we need a veteran to come in and be the voice of our team, and be the leadership to keep these knuckleheads out of the box too. I wonder if Paul Ludwinski is on the market. Of course we also want Owen Beck but how much does he cost, or does Mark have a deal for him already?

 

[dmead]

I wouldnt say no to Christopolous but hes an OA isnt he?

 

[dirty12]

I would have taken O'Flaherty even up if I were London let alone the picks.
Niagara still a dumpster fire unfortunately.

O’Flaherty might not last long in London, he is probably not fast enough to fit in the Knights’ defensive scheme

 

[OHLTG]

Yep... and I can't see Bowler making a move like that with London. Most of us were shocked when he got Onuska lol

 

[Hendy]

The team seems to create more offence shorthanded than on the powerplay when Barkey and Cowan are out there.

Time to set SHG records!

I think these Knights just do better with more open ice. 3 on 3 especially...great skaters and puck handlers.

 

[LDN]

I love Niagara!!!!

Yeah, I prefer coincidental minors (4 on 4) to a PP. And PK entertaining with the twins getting breakaways.

Hey, I think I saw that written on a shirt. No, my mistake... It was New York. I get confused.

London would not get more than one draft pick for Kaeden Johnston. Mike Oke may offer a 5th or a 6th round draft pick for him. Mark Hunter would not dealing with the Niagara GM in making this trade.

That’s very true

 

[Ringing Iron]

I'm guessing OFlaherty was a throw in for this deal to happen. It was Crane for picks and a roll of the dice on OFlaherty (similar to Copeland earlier)

People can criticize this deal but I have a feeling we're going to see Crane take a step forward with a fresh start

Niagara can't draft anyways so picks don't matter to them.

Yeah, agreed with this. Crane’s numbers will go up and he will play an OA year but I still don’t love this for the IceDogs.
However, Paris and Levin deals were laughed at or claimed to be cash driven by the OHL conspiracy theorists and they’ve both performed well. Interesting to see all the know-it-alls come out of the woodwork.

 

[Woody Dumart]

Not as high on Edward as some. Way too many penalties.

I like Simpson but you’ll never convince me that that trade was good value for London.

 

[Matt93]

It’s a breath of fresh air to watch road games. Don’t have to deal with London’s crew saying the same words over and over and dealing with the nasally voice.

[ArielNederland]

Leads 2-0, blows it and now down 3-2. Players need to learn how to keep leads. And stop taking penalties

Check that. I meant it's always a breath of - sorry carry on!

He gives me Trevor Cann vibes right now. He’s so small and is not reading the plays well.

I don’t send a message and put Willmore in for this weekend and maybe next.

Simpson will figure it out

 

[ArielNederland]

Awful. Can't even keep a lead, or play defense apparently

 

[Woody Dumart]

Simpson will figure it out

It’s got more to do with porous defence than goaltending. But he could be better.
