London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[tjziel]

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?

Because Sim is injured that can delay the deadline to move the OA’s between Willmore, Leonard and Julien.

Now if Gazizov returns before Sim is back then they have 2 weeks to figure out their OA situation again.

Very similar to the Mitchell Martin situation last year in Kitchener.

I edit then Not everyone that wants them will be able to purchase them

Why would it be different for the Knights than any other venue Ticketmaster uses? They offer print at home tickets currently

Print at home maybe booklets no

Sammy O first line tonight. He might get some reg season games. Oilers seem to like him alot

That's fair. I'll be sick of Chick FIL A by the end of this season anyway

Can we still request booklets? I'll give the Sammies away if I can get a booklet.

Of all the Knights players Sam O'Reilly is the closest to make the NHL. He's the complete natural package that NHL coaches & GMs want

That is a not accurate, though i think we are all really happy with his progress.

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.

Mitchell isn’t listed on the roster either.

He’s a Bo Horvat type of player. Could fit in a top 9 of an NHL team, but could use more offense to his game

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.

As a leaf fan would love him on the Knights.

 

[LDN]

McCue would be a great add! Need that type of grit and toughness in our lineup

Talked to some people that follow the Sharks closely, to ask where they think Kasper Halttunen this season…..

“Depends on what you mean with “the team”.
Sharks -> absolutely not! Zero chance
Barracuda -> probably not.”

“I think he’s day to day with a minor injury. Very little chance he makes the big squad, almost certainly headed back to London.

London or the Cuda, though I havent seen enough foot speed to think he will do well in the AHL.“

He needs another year I think, same with Cowan.

I think Barkey and Sim are injured. I think O’Reilly will get an extended stay. Not sure about Dickinson. I don’t know how well he has played this far.

Barkey has mono. NHL teams aren't doing london any favours so it looks like we will have a depleted line up for a while. As for cowan... the fact that he has played in every game so far leads me to believe that toronto is giving him every opportunity to make the roster. Not guaranteed to be back imo

 

[Fergus31]

looks good that players are staying up thus far. Developing players is first and foremost at this level.

 

[ArielNederland]

Jared woolley just got reassigned. By what I read in LA kings Twitter land, he played really well.

 

[LDN]

Cowan-Domi-Marner is so friggin cool

Get him on the bird! Need him in the lineup tomorrow

He will be back and ready to crush some birds

Who will lead the charge? Hopefully we see Nicholl, Julien, Brzustewicz and Woolley step up and bring us a W
