Musty is the last thing from being a team player.Question (?) When a player does not report and request a trade, does that make him the player above the team, does London want that?

We shall see where he lands what fun junior hockey isWanting Musty and actually reporting that the Knights have “kicked tires” on Musty are two different things. It still means one of those things are false and one is true, and it’s not wanting Musty….
I was just about to suggest that.Unless Musty stops 32 shots a night he isn’t what we need .
Cowan prob scores 40-45 in 55-60 games (wjc) and O’Reilly takes a jump. Bonk and Dickinson will likely score more goals as well and then I’m sure they make a move or two. They’ll be fine.Ok let’s hear it. Who in the Knights lineup is going to replace Gazizovs 36 goals and Halttunens 32? That’s 68 goals to replace. And you can’t say Cowan because he scored 32, so unless you think he will score 64 which would effectively replace Halttunens goals.
This is why Musty would be a good acquisition.
So for real, what am I missing? Van Gorp going to score 40?
Van Gorp in the Sim slot if Sim is the odd O/A out but otherwise looks like a very good lineup.Barkey O’Rielly Cowan

That is a log jam, I’m guessing 2 of the forwards are moved out.
My guess is Julien and arrowsmithBarkey O’Rielly Cowan

Definitely there will be some opportunities for players to move elsewhere. Keep a couple for depth.Barkey O’Rielly Cowan

There’s no rush to make a goalie move. Brett Brochu took the reigns at 17. Medvedev will be given that opportunity before looking elsewhere.Unless Musty stops 32 shots a night he isn’t what we need .

As much I am an optimist, Halttunen will be in the AHL. I really want him back with the Knights but he’s already on the the Barracuda PP and put up 2 points in their final preseason game.Things are coming together, no reason not to expect Halttunen back.
We don’t need Musty but there maybe few teams that can bid, we are flush with 17/18 year old prospects.
Even if Musty comes we will need a goalie
There is no doubt he can and will score, its the (-)1 that is the issue. As much as the AHL is a professional hockey league, I dont think there is a better place to develop than London for a 19 year old that is going to crack the NHL.As much I am an optimist, Halttunen will be in the AHL.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say Van Gorp won’t be an ‘extra’ or healthy scratched in any game this season.Barkey O’Rielly Cowan

I don’t think that’s how it works, because I don’t think teams care as much for plus minus as much as they used to. It’s about learning and growing nowadays and where does the player grow best.There is no doubt he can and will score, its the (-)1 that is the issue.

Let's see where Halttunen is at the end of the Barracuda's camp on October 10thm If Halttunen is still a minus player than he is coming back to London.
