London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

Can't we just add "cash considerations" to a trade proposal?
Musty OR Luchanko for player x, draft picks, AND 'cash considerations'. lol!

Nope cash considerations have already been worked out.

Alligator arms.........tough to grab that cash outta pocket for some of those rural gents

Nope cash considerations have already been worked out.

Thought that was a Windsor thing Or at least getting caught was.

Does anyone have more information on the Marner and Zach G connection?

 

[tjziel]

Well does London add between now and tomorrow?

Does Sam McCue coming into play now that Flint is maybe not able to get him to report?

Does London finally add Jett Luchanko?

 

[StormWatcher]

That was my thinking after the world juniors too. Would be very risky.

If they did lose him for nothing however that would be hilarious

George got enough back for other traded players that I won't even care if Luchanko graduates with no trade return. Knights players do all the time.

Send Flint Van Gorp and picks and see if they bite. I dunno.

Will Flint move him on the cheap instead of nothing? Hope he reports?
Is Flints butt to hurt they'd rather let him sit or explore other leagues?
No idea why teams dont confirm its all good pre trade, before going public, especially since it involves teenagers and BEFORE announcing it ( probly a reason somewhere and I can think of a few ideas why maybe someone thinks its smart but i dont agree) it's a bad look all around for a pre adult league.

They have a problem. Maybe make this offer without the picks and you are still doing them a favor.

London won't be the only team sniffing around the chance to get McCue.

No, and rightfully so but hopefully the past connection carries wieght in the McC camp. The kid, family or advisors obviously have a problem standing up and excersing potential leverage

 

[Long Reach]

Other teams will want McCue and Flint will want a body or two that can contribute now after losing their first round pick in this mess. McCue would be an upgrade on a number of London forwards, so that’s the logic to both sides, imo. Feel for the Flint fans.

Just curious, what is the problem?

They traded their first round pick from THIS YEAR for a player who won't report a second and two thirds.. So the problem is a 2nd and 2 3rds isn't much for the sixth overall pick.

The problem compounds if the problem they created isn't dealt with expediently. Gotta get the player somewhere suitable and cut your losses now.

Ahhh okay.

That's a McPharlan problem.

I thought you were pointing at a "Flint" problem from the past.

Different context. Agree with on the McPharlan problem.

McCue preferred destination was London could still happen

 

[Knights77]

I for one, am shocked Kingston moved on from Lalonde to get Schenkel. It’s an upgrade for sure, just surprised they did it. Kingston is a player now. I’d put it in order as Barrie, Kingston, Oshawa, Brampton and then some pretenders like Niagara and Brantford. Hope the East destroys each other.

 

[Savi]

Everyone has Brampton up there but they're a .500 team halfway through the season..

Yes but they e continued to make moves. Their roster is decent and if they gel….they could make it to the second round lol

 

[rve24]

Love the deal/price for Allen now even more looking at the price Windsor paid for a D.

 

[BobHockey]

Unless Flint can somehow convince McCue to report I believe he will be a Knight. Mark will likely do his thing and get SM for a reasonable price. This will be a very good addition to the team if it works out, even more so than JL

 

[Knights77]

Agreed. But at 6’5 202 Kennedy will fit right in with the Spits. Biggest team in the league and it isn’t close.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Except you only have Allen for 1/2 a season. You paid a lot more for 1/3 of what Kennedy will be around for.

 

[Knightsfan90]

McCue would be the depth addition we need.
Send a player and a pick get it done.

[Long Reach]

Regardless, adding Elliott, Montgomery, Fimis, and Allen is good for the year. Lost Jenken, Arrowsmith, and picks. Got a couple picks back for Arrowsmith. Overall a nice job.
