A suspension limit is a good idea.

A suspension limit is a good idea.

Not giving a goon the minimum 7 suspensions deep is a good idea also.

Ryder thus far is a less talented version of the same player. I have no time for him in the league.

Back to the topic at hand. Outside of perhaps world juniors, I can see the Knights running the table. They want it.

Sawyer Boulton's 7th suspension of the year he got 2 games (the minimum allowed) for slew-footing. Why he wasn't tossed from the league entirely by say... suspension number 5?!?! is beyond me. How he was handled was a travesty and he was a hazard to every opposing player he faced from about the midway portion of the year after he made his bed as to who he was and his intentions on the ice.

I cannot fathom the lawsuit the OHL would have faced had something like the Liambas hit (or worse) had happened. There's a strong case to be made that the OHL could be found criminally negligent in such instance.

SEVEN suspensions in the same season and the guy gets the minimum for the infraction.

You failed to prove your point. Kicking Boulton out of the league would have helped the Knights

Just a suggestion...but why not focus discussion on all the things this team is doing well, including room for improvement, trade talk, etc. instead of visitors to this thread constantly shifting the narrative to Boulton and judging the adequacy of the length of suspensions? Again, just a suggestion. I wouldn't frequent another team's thread to serve as the moral police to highjack discussion, but have at it...

Your obsession lately with the topic n your bad example. It's the OHL, trying to find reasoning in penalties, suspension length etal is a fools game. That's why the chuckle, maybe start a separate thread about officiating and the league office. I'm sure many would appreciate the seperate topic.
The example you brought up was an auto suspension and a slewfoot deemed by the league to not be a malicious attempt to injure. So he got his spanking. And so e felt so e ofvthecesrkier sudoensuons wrre too long. I'm not judging either way before you claim I'm defending anything lol.
And to your point LK benefitted last year.....many would disagree with the length of some of the suspensions to all knights players, esp in POs but I'l leave that debate up to you and the others as I don't whine about stripes, I don't try and find reasoning in how the league does out suspensions. It's a fools game.
Clear enough? Carry on.

Out of respect to nelli I'll let it go after this. Sawyer's mere presence allowed the Knights to play "bigger" than they were. The Rangers were never going to beat that team, but concussing 2 top 4 d-men without fear of retaliation ensured that (Boulton not responsible for either). He certainly did serve a purpose, and I feel did help the Knights. Enough talent to win with 3 lines, and the 4 shift boogeyman.

Yea no thanks. Rather keep him, not even sure they have anything to offer. We can really use during world juniors

And now the admission for the obsession. At least we finally got there.

Regarding this team there are still improvements to be made. What an awesome start though. Very impressive. Good depth.

Unfortunately, no one on the Petes that worthy of trading for.
