Let them bid away I say. Even thou a divisional rival will swap the rewards of the deal I'd rather the East pay the bounty than LK.
Solid player with skill n jam.
Or even the West Conf. Other teams collectively win more than LK was my point.

no no, we are agreeing, im just saying its silly of ldn to suggest that no one else can win
Would Mark Hunter be prepared to give up Medvedev and all of our second round picks and a couple 3rd’s??
Probably not, would I do it? For sure, but that’s why I am a fan and not GM.

You mean, Willmore and 3rd isn't going to get it done???? hahah
Personally though, I don't see Mark giving up all of that in a trade. Would I love to see him in London, sure. But Mark the last few years has been much more calculated with his moves.
and that is why hes the best trading gm in the ohl

3-way deals happen sometime in this league. West > East > West again, How bad does London need and want Barlow, as much as I like this kid, I don't think London will pay the asking price in a 3-way exchange deal for him

if the agent did that and was not above board about it, that would be a red flag for the entire league, but thats not happening here. the knights wont pay the going rate. not that they are wrong or right for it, but its not their style.

I don't think its accurate to say the Knights won't pay the going rate for an elite player. They do and have recently they just make that call on 16/17 y/o not on one year players
For all you Colby Barlow fans:
Doesn’t look like he’s coming to London.

Yet there’ll still be pages and pages of posts discussing Barlow and London until he’s inevitably moved elsewhere.
I really wonder if anyone watches the games.
its just a handful of posters, one who wants them to get every single player in the league thou isnt it?
Dale Degray did hold a townhall with some fans in Owen Sound; One of the questions asked was about moving George. He responded something along the lines that if he were to move George the return would need to be massive and he doesn't think any team would be willing to pay. Look at the Leenders trade and multiply that by x amount don't know what the actual ask would be, but cant see a team especially London paying that price. As someone who follows Owen Sound closely I would love to see George get to play on a contending team, just unfortunate I don't think it would be this year. However based off the current goalie market right now. teams may be willing to pay & that could be a road that gets reviewed by the Attack
Block them, it actually makes the board bearable.
With how many star players does this happen in one season ( west-east-west) Pleae enlighten us since you say it happens sometimes or did you mean rarely rarely ever ever happens lol.
You are suggesting an Alist player moves East and in same season West? Please give me your so.etimes examples.
And please stop PMing me with your unwanted thoughts. I've asked 2x now.

Sounds like Ferguson Jenkins prefer the silent invisible board to read with no discussions or debates
You’re correct and just adding on….
The only way the Mark Hunter gets an OHL star these days, is if they specifically request to go London thus forces the trading teams hand (usually at OHL draft/Max Domi), somehow fleeces a team (Auston Watson), or a player no team wants and has diminished their trading value (Ryan Merkley).
Yes I know there was a John Tavares trade but although I don’t think he regrets that trade, I think he became even smarter with his assets because of that trade.
The Mitchell Stephen’s and Mitchell Vande Sompel trades were Rob Simpson’s doing.
Otherwise, Mark doesn’t pay up huge for OHL stars.

*I don't have the slightest clue, nothing was suggested, it's put out there for discussion, and you do make an excellent point here about the number of players it would take
*I am not suggesting anything at all, that is self-made assumption by your self as discussed in our PM page under the word perception.
*And Please, do press the ignore button as was suggested to you in the PM page if reading some posts are too difficult

Does Colby Barlow improve the top 6 of course he does. Is he worth the price absolutely not. Pretty sure with minor trades ,any weakness can be shored up .
Glad to see the new season start and Knights fans aren't happy with the team and immediately want to trade for every top player/goalie in the league.
What would happen if the Knights went full rebuild in the next couple years and missed the playoffs? Most posters would need to be put on suicide watch.
Here is a tip.....watch the games, follow the team and enjoy watching TEENAGERS develop into better people and hockey players.......win or lose.

Why say West-East-West 3way deals sometimes happen if you say minutes later you have no clue lol?
Why say I make an excellent point about the number of players it would take when I said nothing about that?
It was not a self made assumption by myself....you actually wrote it lol.
I asked politely for you not to PM me and you do so again. Are you saying you won't give me that and will continue to PM me.....There's a word for that type behaviour. Ya talk about ignore button. Are you saying you will harass me until I do? That's mature lol.
Cheers lol.
