Jackson Taylor (2024 6th rounder) is playing u17 league in Czechia

Prospect Points as of Oct 13

 

[Fastpace]

Was he worth the assets we traded to get him? It’s hard to judge as we got Dickson (sp?) and Mete under similar circumstances and of course both of those guys were home runs? He almost looks like he needs to grow into his body a bit as he seems a bit “unpolished” BUT has all the tools be a true standout. Still loves how he stepped up on last years team and played forward.

Oh! He's worth it, like I said earlier, Brzustewicz is a project development in progression, a very good student of the game

Future is bright!

Who gets the start tonight? medsy or stone cold?

 

[Voice from the North]

Musty trade would ramp up missing scoring with loss of Gaz , Kasper , McCue in a go for it season

What would be a fair offer from London?

Based on the Knights Game day graphic, I would suspect Medsy. Be pretty awkward if he was featured in the pic and didn't start haha.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Saginaw is more dangerous offensively, I would give tonight's start to Meds (He know Saggy) and let Austin settle in and get another practice in. It's a huge adjustment.

I wonder if Gleb Semenov would join the team in Saginaw on the 26th?

 

[Fastpace]

Reid Gammage (13th rd 2023) 6g 6a for 12 points in 10 games for Cambridge Red hawks GOJHL, that's a balance offense, keep an eye on him

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

What would be a fair offer from London?

I previously projected something like:

Fagan, Arrowsmith, 2X2nd, 2x3rd

but since this is now going on two weeks and the Wakley trade lowered the value of top talent across the board I would go for something like:

Fagen, Bidgood, 1x2nd, 1x3rd

But I would now start to wonder whether teams are really interested as clearly offers have been tendered and not accepted. The longer Musty sits the less valuable he is (more rust, less games to contribute etc.)

The Musty thing has to get done from Misty’s/SJS perspective. They probably want him playing. I could see Erie being a big player

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

Logan Mailloux has been recalled by the Canadiens.

What would be a fair offer from London?

Depends what market value is for him. Even if he’s sitting at home, I’m betting teams would outbid London for him.

Most teams are simply tire kicking at this point. Everyone around the league knows what Musty brings positively and negatively. I believe most offers are similar to or lesser than your second one

Your first offer plus Nichol, starts the conversation

No Nicholl. Too valuable

Caleb Mitchell with 6 points in 7 games as a dman. Great start for him!

 

[GangGreen]

You have to give to get. If Nicholl gets the deal done, so be it. Memorial Cup or bust this year.
Have SJ send Haltunnen back as part of the deal. Besides, how perfect is it for a Nicholl to land in Sudbury?
I wouldn't mind McCoy as part of a package. Too bad we have no more OA room...
If Nicholl is part of it though, less picks.

London doesn’t buy high on rentals.

Not taking a shot at you but I’ve never understood the bust talk when evaluating a season. You build a perpetually competitive team and let the chips fall where they fall.

 

[GangGreen]

No, all good. I just figured that the progression from OHL finalists to OHL champs but coming up short in the Memorial Cup would lead to doing everything possible to take the next step.

When all your 19year olds turn pro next year you might have some regrets of what could have been? Your window in NOW! Saggy same. Flint maybe in same boat…
