London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[sbpointer]

D Trade candidates (different prices): Allen, Jenken (PBO), Ando (Kit), Gibson(Soo), Petrovski (OS), Ride (NB)

Andonovski would be a perfect fit and great score but I don't see Kitchener being super excited about making that deal with London...

So you're looking for a big splash as usual.

You might get different takes from different members of the Attack board but Petrovski would be one of the few players I'd be okay going to the Knights and probably doesn't cost an arm and a leg, other than he's likely back as an overager.

I think offensively he's blocking opportunities for guys lower down the lineup.

Have a new account since my other one got locked out.

Don’t understand the Crane/Arrowsmith comparison. Statistically, player type, route through the OHL thus far is not comparable.

This could be a very good deal for the IceDogs if Arrowsmith develops the way he should and if London picks up the education package. Also good for London to get some picks back.

Lots of variables that are not seen on the surface. I’m not one to judge trades as instant w/l like a lot of fans do. Of course you will have the demographic of fans that think every trade with London is a rip off but fail to dig deeper or use critical thinking skills. But I digress.

Go Knights. Peace.

Kind of a weird stat but there’s only 2 teams left in the OHL to not receive a bench minor- Barrie and you guys.

Pretty cool you don’t have one while being the second most penalized team in the league (Sag has 4 more pims)

There's an obvious need for at least on more defenceman, if not two. With all of Bonk/Dickinson/Barkey/Cowan back this season, there's no reason not to trade a few more younger players--excluding Hawrey because he likely won't waive no-trade privileges--for some defensive depth. Jenken has been fairly good, but on a championship team, you would probably prefer for him to be a number 7 as a fail-safe for injury rather than an everyday player.

Trading some volume of picks and young players (Fagan/Van Bommell/Bidgood/Gerber) for a LHD+RHD to become either a second or third defence pairing. Something like Petrovski+Jenken or Petrovski+Allen would be a sizeable upgrade on Jenken+Fagan/Spencer.

Yeah, it’s win-now mode for London this year. Whether Hunters are aggressive or not is anyone’s guess.

Gerber and Bidgood can’t have much value being 17 in B. Can’t see Fagan or Van B garnering much in a deal either. Any acquisition will likely be pick-centred. Guelph needs picks!

Next year you sell and full court press on Cover. Regroup for 26/27 with Hawery, Brzustewicz, Medvedev.
