Is he the best available?
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.

Maybe he should have been training with the rest of the London Knights prior to camp with the Leafs.
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.
