I agree with you that there is a distinct possibility that he stays, but until the Barracuda cut their roster down to 13 forwards there is just as good a possibility that he returns to London. He can still come back for the WJC and go on another championship run, that is not a bad option.
gotta remember haltunnen in the playoffs and mem cup was playing his best hockey of the whole year. No point in him coming back to junior other than putting some more points up and maybe winning another championship.I just look at what San Jose did with Filip Bystedt, he was their 2022 first rounder and he had a cup of coffee for the Barracuda last year and produced! 8GP 4G 3A before being released back to SHL Linkoping HC
He was the only 2004 on the team last year with a higher pedigree than Halttunen and was sent back. I think San Jose has a long view and appreciates a slow development curve for most of their prospects. If there is a possibility that Haltunen is on a line with Musty and has another year with Dickinson I dont think that is a negative thing.

No way Nicholl is too valuable
The return that some of the Sudbury fans are asking for Quentin Musty is unrealistic. Owen Beck who is better than Musty was traded for Aiden Young, two, 2nds and one, 3rd. He was part of two World Junior Teams and won an OHL Championship with Peterborough. (in answer to a usual response the Petes are the best). The return for Colby Barlow was two players, two, 2nds and two, 3rds for a full season of him.
By the looks of things, Wolves don’t have the luxury of waiting until the trade deadline for an 08. Furthermore, I don’t believe either Beck or Barlow had 2pts per game last season or were ever the first overall pick in a priority draft…price will be high. Even for London..
Again further compounds the problem by adding scoring and trading away our best goalie when we need goaltending.
Owen Beck plays a 200 foot game, was among the top players in the league inface off win percentage and had Memorial Cup experience plus he was a team player.
Maybe just me, but I lack context or background to understand what this means.
No arguing that BarlowBeck are amazing players, but Musty even finished with more pts/game last season than Cowan. Demanding a trade early October is different than Beck IMO. I don’t know the true value or what the real outcome will be; however, the Wolves have to get a fair (high value). If Cowan left Leafs and went home and demanded a trade what would you want?
