London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[EvenSteven]

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.

Owen Beck wanted to be traded to Kitchener. Had to be convinced to report to Saginaw. He eventually called his shot to Saginaw and the return reflected that.

If, for example, Musty says Erie or bust, the return Sudbury gets for him will reflect that as well.

Based on the return for Barlow and Rehkopf, perhaps the return for Beck at the last deadline was unrealistic. Unrealistically low.

I was disappointed in the draft picks. I had hoped for three, 2nds and three, 3rds plus Aiden Young. I don’t think Owen Beck wanted to leave the Petes. Peterborough had made a decision to rebuild after not getting Tucker Robertson back as an overage and they needed to trade 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..

If the Wolves prevent a move till after Christmas good luck getting any top talent in the future. Sometimes it's better to move on get most you can then waste half a year of development. I'm sure the Sharks would be pretty upset aswell

So.. how about those London Knights?

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Just a thought but what is the record for most players from one team sent to juniors?

Barkey Cowan Bonk Dickinson (Canada)

Nurmi Halttunen?? (Finland)

If we do win the Musty sweepstakes (USA)

7 players?

Windsor had 5 in 2010,Team Canada with Hall,Ellis,Nemisz, and Henrique, with Cam Fowler playing for Team USA.

Bring George home after tonight’s game haha would be the starter for two years

That price would be astronomical but interesting lol

After?? Have a green jersey ready to give him, as soon as the bus pulls in this afternoon! haha

Haha true!

Either way I’m kinda thinking Medvedev gets the nod tonight. Thoughts?

I would think so, Medvedev has been the far better goalie thus far.

Not a very good matchup for this evening's game, a team is dismantling itself readying for a rebuilt while the other team coming in after two straight losses, plus a bunch of upset NHL cuts coming back wanting to prove themselves. Ouch ! Be respectful boys

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Maybe tonight is the night that the sleeping giant wakes..... it will happen eventually and I pity the team at the other end of the ice.

Barkey Cowan O'rielly
Bonk Dickinson

Its not really fair.

Going to make a prediction here 6-1 Knights. Would be a lot higher if not for Carter George

 

[Ken Yates]

Do we have confirmation that Barkey is healthy enough to play?

 

[JagrBomb93]

I hope that the Knights crush OS tonight but part of me feels that it will take a little while to get chemistry back and start clicking. 4-3 Knights W.

Barkey O’Rielly Cowan

Boulton Read Arrowsmith

Extra:
Bidgood
Van Gorp
Van Bommel
Aboflan
Gerber (thanks @MidwestStorm )

That is a log jam, I’m guessing 2 of the forwards are moved out.

I see Gerber is no longer on your roster so you were right

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

I see him listed as inactive, if he was traded there would have been a transaction so I wonder what that means.

Hard to know. Attack are gelled

I suspect he was sent back to Elmira, we will see Friday when they play next.

Interesting!

Huh ?
Where did that come from ?
The 'dismantling ' is long done.

Barlow was never going to be part of this roster, since before training camp.

And there NO chance in hell Carter George ever wears green .

Two pieces missing tonight-Sam McCue ( suspension)
David Bedkowski ( upper body)

Hearing both will play this weekend .

That's a bold statement to completely eliminate an entire colour from his wardrobe!
