I’m still hoping Coulson Pitre moves to the Knights. Would be another sneaky under the radar move for Mark, but if that doesn’t happen, I ultimately think the Knights are done.

Does the Attack give up and are looking to deal Sedley, Goure?

Sedley and Guindon....Goure and Taos.....or maybe go crazy and hope he can stay healthy and see how much Sedley and Barlow will cost. Could be back next year when they will have an even better roster in theory.

That's a fantastic core of players there in Owen Sound, surprised they are not higher in the standing. I think someone comes in with the right price, they can walk away with some of these players.

How does this look to everyone?

Cowan, Julien, Barkey
Gaz, O’Reilly, Halt
Lawrence, McCue, Sim
Ryder, Nicholl, Van G
Depth - Johnston, Van B

Dickinson, Edward
Bonk, George
Leonard, Woolley
Depth - Brzustewicz

Simpson
Willmore

Agreed with others - don’t see anything of significance happening if Lawrence is finalized.

If Lawrence is added I can’t see the top 9 changing at all. He’ll likely anchor Boulton and Van Gorp. Obviously I’m speculating and going off of @OMG67 comments.

I have a feeling this would be another Juan Copeland

Owen Sound is a solid team. Theyve played most of their season without Barlow. Now that he’s back the results will likely match up to the expectations.

The challenge is we used him as a centre out of pure necessity. We had only two centres with him as one of them to play top 9. We were rotating wingers into the 3C mostly. I think if he were to play the wing and you wanted someone to crash and bang a bit and hit the net with less the less responsibility placed on the wingers, maybe he’d be more than competent in a 3LW role. I can’t say yes or no on that because he never played wing for us.

Absolutely not.
Degray just brought in Konnor Smith and Sam McCue .

Looking for another depth forward .

He will not get into paying boatloads of picks . Never has never will.

That’s exactly why he would likely fit the 4LW position. London is deep and It’s difficult to see whom he would dislodge. Playing with Boulton on a “disciplined” energy Line may be effective

But would an OA be comfortable playing bottom tier minutes?

Sedley, Goure and Burroughs =136 pts, not going anywhere .

Neither is Barlow.

So, What do we do with Halttennen, give him a rocking chair on top of the Zamboni?

No dice, the Knights are in need of a good face-off man that can win as many as possible the most important ones

Pretty sure most teams hover around 50% on the dot. London has a few forwards around there so a center add strictly for faceoffs isn’t imperative. What’s been great lately is the defensive improvement and effort of the backchecking of the forwards. Cheers.
