My father hung me on a hook once....once.
Maybe he should have been training with the rest of the London Knights prior to camp with the Leafs.

In my opinion yes but someone that watches mainly western conference may think it’s parsons.
Or Ottawa fans may think Mackenzie but I’m not going to include a guy that can’t play all the games. If Ottawa were to trade him I don’t think teams that are looking to contend would pay as much for him with his injury problems.

Meh idk. I think he really wants it, but he needs to do something dynamic. I wish they played him SH. I think they would appreciate his value if they used him in that type of role/situation
You guys all think we are trading for Quentin Musty or Colby Barlow…..
We all know Mark will then just acquire a guy like Sam McCue at the trade deadline super cheap lol! Actually not a bad idea cuz he would be a great OA next year for the new wave after the Cowan Barkey era.
It’s always how it works. We should all know by now lol!

Not what I said, just Barlow and George are the only players I covet at this time. Not going to happen.
So the Barrie Colts acquire Gabriel Eliasson for a 3rd and 15th. That is crazy low.
Either they will be this years version of Saginaw or Sudbury of last year. Both have opposite projections…

most of these teams would like to keep their players that are coming back next year as well lol
That’s pretty obvious - no need to even state the obvious, but you can’t be that naive to think that Owen Sound will be anywhere competitive in the next 2 years.
High chance that Sam McCue gets traded this year. He’s also an 05 so he could turn pro next year if he gets signed.

at the trade deadline last year it was a massive struggle for teams to trade players 'with term'. i heard so many 04s that teams were calling about that were not on the table. i think the same will happen with 05s this year.
the only way that it happened was if they were part of a 1st round pick return (smith and mccoy), a significant overpay (ride/veccia), or a team that wanted to get the cash off the books (lavioe).
if mccue goes up it would be such an overpay that id be surprised if it would fit any of the above formats. if veccia is worth a 2,3,4, mccue is worth much more then that. which is why i dont see them moving him or anyone trading for him. certainly not london who prefers the smart stratigic moves.
with regards to george, why would owen sound move him when odds are they can get the same package next summer? its not like someone will give them 20 picks now, the price will be close to barlow/rehkopf and it will be the same return next summer.
as an aside, if wakley didnt get signed after their amazing years last year, i dont see why the leafs would use a contract slot on mccue regardless of how he plays, especially given they load up their ahl team with 25/26 year olds all the time.
McCue is not going to be an overpay lol!
Putting up 37pts in 68 games is not overwhelming. Veccia had a bit more value to himself. This is in fact a Mark Hunter move and is very much smart and strategic.
Even if it were to cost us a 3rd, 5th and a conditional 3rd pending on an OA season, it would be a smart move.

Interesting, the Knights roster has been updated on the OHL site for the 24/25 season.
The roster has Gazizov, Nurmi and Halttunen but no Semenov.
Which also means with Gazizov listed, there are 5 OA's.
Of course, a lot to happen with NHL camps and so on, but most interesting to me, is no Semenov. I wonder if the plan will be Nurmi and either Halts or if he doesn't return Gaz and then deal 2 other OAs.

Ontario Hockey League
The OHL consists of 20 member teams, including 17 in the province of Ontario as well as three in the United States, with two in the state of Michigan and one in the state of Pennsylvania.

it would cost more then that. if mccue went up there would be a lineup given how he plays. theres a reason why you want mccue, its not about points, and he will produce more this year.
i dont see why this years deadline would be different then last years deadline, players with a year and a half left were hard to get and when you got them, they went for a boatload, see above for the 'proof'
come to think of it, ethan hay trade may be a better comparable based on 7th round pick who didnt produce signicfantly but played the same way, he went for 6 picks. 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 5th, 7th.
with half a year gone, maybe that eliminates a 2nd and 3rd?
Difference is Dave Drinkell had a plethora of picks from the Minty trade and he could do that trade and didnt care as much about giving up a lot of picks cuz he was doing whatever he could to win the Memorial Cup.
That is not how Mark Hunter does business. He will be a hard bargain of how many picks he gives up.
so then if mccue is moved, someone else with a plethora of picks, perhaps brantford or kingston, may be able to pay that price, hence why im surprised his name was brought up with london.
im well aware of how mark does business, ive applauded him for it many times on the road, hence why if, and its probably an if, mccue is traded, it wont be london, as his value would be high.

Heads up to anyone who has printed tickets. There's one there that says Sunday December 20th... that date is actually a Friday.
Also paying the extra for the ticket booklet is well worth it. $7 extra I think.. each ticket has a free Chik FIL A sammich and there's coupons for little Ceasars.
There's also the Culberts Bakery Windsor Spitfires coupon. A free 6 pack of cream puffs

Enjoy the last year for the booklets, Only reason they are here this season was because Ticketmaster came in late.
Semenov is having Visa issues, this is why he is off the roster.Interesting, the Knights roster has been updated on the OHL site for the 24/25 season.

So with 5 OAs rostered right now do the Knights have to make a move before Friday to get to 4 or are they OK because of Sims injury until he is back?
