London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[dirty12]

I love you Soo fans! I’m sure, Gibson wouldn’t mind at all if we take out Saginaw as well in the OHL Playoffs

Gibbs is our missing piece and this year is different. Mark might pull a bit more of a trigger because this will be the end of the Cowan/Barkey/Bonk/Dickinson era.

If I’m Mark, I’m acknowledging that and realizing Gibson is the missing piece to the puzzle. All we have to do is somehow convince SSM that we are better suitors for Gibson than Kingston. I actually think that Luchanko and Allen are good targets for Kingston.

Is everyone going on the premise Luchanko will be in the OHL next season; or heavy conditions attached to Luchanko in a trade?

 

[Long Reach]

@tjziel is right. Luchanko probably out of London’s price range. And London won’t abandon the future by trading Hawery. Sure, next year is a sell year. Then reevaluate after.

Other potential targets not mentioned I could see in London’s price range could be Wainwright, McCallum, Hay, Bishop (if Saginaw sells), Petrovski.

Didn’t like seeing Van bommel call out the whole city of Peterborough

Heavy conditions for sure

 

[nelli27]

Absolutely. The wolves have an OA D and 19 yr old goalie having a good season that can be had for the knights two goalies.

D12, what can you tell us about Finn Harding? I thought he might be a good addition on the backend to slot in top 4. A 2005 would be ideal, not looking at OAs.

Misa not getting an invite is shocking.

He still very young and in his draft year. He will be there next year.

Add in the one or two players none of us saw coming also as potential adds. (Lawrence, Graves, Watson, Larman as examples
........)
I think 2/3 targets (additions) are already identified n it's just dotting I's n crossing T's. Ill guess 2 additions.

Thoughts on jenken? Personally I don’t think this kid can be on the ice in a memorial cup, too many mistakes. Kid needs to go

Not too many 07’s will be playing regularly once the playoff’s start ….. Jenken will be fine….but who knows what management will do before the trade deadline….

I think Jenken’s been okay for his age. Fagan not so much. I won’t beat to death the need for defencemen but ideally you add 1-2 that knock others down the depth chart.

I was kidding about the goalies, I'd like Medvedev for the wolves.
I like F.Harding a lot. He is an all-purpose all-star imo. I can't imagine what it would take to pry him from Brampton, maybe a 3-way blockbuster with Medvedev ending up in Sudbury

He's clearly better than either Fagan or Spencer, or maybe it would be more accurate to say he's currently above those two on the depth chart.

 

[LDN]

I was unaware. Is this legit?

This has to be a troll account. Two posts in and they are both suspicious

I think he’s playing his role great right now with limited ice he will be a big part of our future

Isaiah George is 4th on ice time for rookies in the NHL so far this season

People have to remember that one playoffs come around, Dale only really uses 3 forward lines and his top 4 defensmen. The last pairing forwards and D get sent out at the end of the game or are strategically placed out on the ice when there is a good matchup where they won’t be a liability.

That’s why I am not worried about Jenken, Fagan or Spencer because they will barely be getting 10mins a night.

That’s why we need another horse on the right side. Someone like Andrew Gibson to shutdown the top lines and be a horse, then Brz and Jenken can be solid 3rd pairing defensemen.

Read for Teddy Bear goal

Brz is a top 4 lock IMO (unless we get two D

Windsor and Kitchener are nipping at our heels

Teddy Bear Toss goal...
I'll go with the mortal god,
Sam Dickinson.

Quite potentially the best D that we have seen wear a Knights jersey.



Is Mark in there just trying to drive up the price or is he serious about getting him?

 

[Ken Yates]

Bonk..with the Teddy goal

Umm... Did you watch last years playoffs/Memorial Cup.
He's played on that stage all beit sparingly but of the D on the team now I'm ok with him on the third pair in those situations.
