London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[LDN]

more so than some HF poster who started the rumour because they love trading for players.

London does not work that way and musty's not a Hunter type. Yes he's a good player but don't see it frok how the player carries himself.

Could it happen? Sure, I guess it could. Will it happen? I'd bet my house on it that it doesn't.

That is fair! I can see McCue happening.

I don’t think we need to trade for anyone, Knights are stacked we have the best players in junior PERIOD

Could use George from OS and would need a no1 C IF Cowan sticks. Otherwise we are solid

With the rumours of Owen Sound trading Barlow and seemingly not having a great team this year. I would love for London to swoop in and acquire George. If they can get George, that takes away one glaring weakness on the roster and then it is championship or bust!

Live and let live. I just enjoy watching the players they do have develop. Same with all OHL players. To each their own.

Perhaps you all have a different outlook of this year's Knights need, if they lose Halttunen they will lose a natural right-winger with lots of goals coming out of that side last year. You have Cowan (RW) on the first line, after that you have to go all the way down the lineup to find Arrowsmith as your next natural right-winger. Last season the Knights needed help at center, not so this year, they have O'Reilly - Julien - Nicholls they're going to have to give some ice to Hawery on 4th line and likely Read for depth. You see where I am coming at here, plenty down the middle, just need to fill in the sides, one important one is a natural replacement for Halttunen, the depth chart fall into place as you follow all the players up the roster. Barlow is my first choice, but he is a LW, can he, or could he play on RW? You all may have different views, and would like to read about them.

*No doubt Medvedev is London goalie of the future and will likely get a good chunk of playing time this year. Willmore is a very good positional goalie, very hard to beat when he's square to the shooter. Has he played well enough to take the number one spot, it doesn't appear to be thus far, he may need to work on his lateral speed to get himself ready for the shots, he just seems to get there a half a second late. Can Dave Rook work with him, I am sure he would and will, but can London afford an overeager goalie when they have Julien, Sim and Leonard in its lineup, you'd have to think London will make a move at that position sometime soon. And yes, Carter George would definitely look good in a Knight's uniform.

I’m not a Barlow fan, tons of skill but prone to being dramatic and hot headed. Individual not a team player.

If, and a very big IF we needed someone I’d sell the farm for Jett Luchanko, but he isn’t moving as he is a two year player likely. Although, he may be good enough to make the jump next year and in that case a trade with many conditionals for next year make sense.
