London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

Go for it Mark. Lets not waste this core.

I see a drop off next year but a resurgance the year after. One thing is for sure, barring injury we are set in goal for next few years.

Very happy with our effort this past weekend. 4 points was good result. Enjoyed the game Sat. night in Windsor had seats behind the knights bench which gave a very different perspective than my season seats (upper deck). Having Barkey back on Sunday helped.

Wfcu centre is a great place to watch a game. Excellent sight lines. In game presentation certainly blows London out of the water. Upper deck in London is good too for visibility.

Next year is still looking good, not anywhere close to this year but we would still be in the mix to go for it with a few additions.

we only lose Bonk on D, forwards are thinned out but still lots of returnees to be competitive:





O'Reilly Nichol Van Gorp


Van Bommel Read Hawery


Aboflan Bidgood Boulton


Import import


Yes we will need to find a few all stars but we have a very good team next year. Defensively really solid.





Brzustewicz Dickinson


Fimis Woolley


Fagan Jenkin


Mitchell





We still likely have 9 NHL drafted players

Take Dickinson off as I think he could make the NHL. That’s our defensive core…

Who are the 9 drafted players by next year in that lineup?

Last year with this AMAZING core of Bonk, Barkey, Cowan and Dickinson. Need to finish the job this year. Load up!

Who are the 9 drafted players?

O’Reilly, Nicholl, Brzustewicz, Medvedev…. Who else?

 

[Ken Yates]

With all that extra playing time Jenken and Spencer are improving. Fimis was nice pickup but has not shown me that he is top 4 Dman. He might yet.

This is great! Hopefully he can hit the 1000 this year!

I agree he doesn’t look better than Brzustewicz or Woolley. Btw Wool looks awesome! Like the use of his size and skating

 

[dmead]

yeah but it probably wont count. He didn't do it in one season....

 

[Otto]

yeah but it probably wont count. He didn't do it in one season....

My nomination for post of the year

 

[TheOrangePylon]

This is great! Hopefully he can hit the 1000 this year!

If he doesn't, something has not gone according to plan.

37 games to play, he should hit it some time around early March.

hahahaha this is soooo good

Who are the 9 drafted players by next year in that lineup?

O’Rielly Nichol Fimis (Read has a good chance)

Dickinson Brzustewicz
Woolley

Import/Import

Medvedev

Not really a surprise to Knights fans. Good on you Brett.

 

[crowncarrier]

I would be willing to part with Hawery but I also want Jaxon Cover and Logan Hawery to be our next wave of stars.

Let’s also be real, even in wishful thinking and we got Luchanko, there is no way to compete next season.

We would be deep enough forward-wise, but our defense would be Woolley and Brz. Unless Mark Hunter brings in another D via USA.

So that’s why I consider that we hold onto Hawery.

0% chance Hawery is going anywhere.

 

[TheOrangePylon]

Oilers could use a goalie ….

London's in game presentation seems to me to be a string of commercials from after the warm-up to the end of the game. We have in many opinions, the number 1 CHL progrm. Our fan experience is, sadly, far from that.

With all that extra playing time Jenken and Spencer are improving. Fimis was nice pickup but has not shown me that he is top 4 Dman. He might yet.

Give the kid some games to get acquainted with new systems, new teammates, new league. He looked fine out there on Friday. Played very conservatively which is likely what the coaching staff asked him to do.

 

[LDN]

I like how Montgomery has come in and become a go to forward. Man he is like a gazelle out there. Such a good skater. I like him throwing a few hits as well. If he can become more physical that would be ideal

BIG trade coming. Told 4 picks and a D going down the 401.

 

[LDN]

Love the sounds of the trade bells ringing

BIG trade coming. Told 4 picks and a D going down the 401.

Too me, only signals one of 2 moves........
But my 401 radar only goes 2 hrs west n 1.5 east and Ill lean East towards TO..
CA/JL or maybe MA as many have mentioned.
I'll guess a Storm is brewing just gor fun.
Wait n see I guess. I know nothing

If you put it that way it sounds shitty!
