It will be an interesting trade deadline. A lot of teams must think they have a shot and will want to make a move or two. Go big or an add depth ? Add offence or defence? We will know in a couple of weeks.

Barrie is loading up. Looks like they will be adding Luca Pinelli to their already stacked team.

Pinelli is a bonafide goal scorer in the OHL. Wow!

Pre season prediction was you guys and the Colts. Looks like a great one.

Think you guys steamroll west and Barrie/Oshawa steamroll east- Barrie beats Oshawa and you guys beat Barrie in 6 or 7

Thanks Kreskin. I guess the rest of the teams should just pack up and start our off season early. Still gotta play the games…

This is definitely a year where all teams not named the Knights are playing for second. Barrie can add and should add whoever they can get to make it at least close.

A bit early in the year to be awarding league champs. I agree they are the frontrunners but a couple of key injuries and some egos getting in the way and it doesn't always end up the way it is drawn up.

Watch today see what happens when we are missing 5/6 regulars. This team is built with redundancy, yes anything can happen but no team will be able to add to get to what the Knights have and keep the depth.

I’m not saying the Wolves have a chance but I’m not ready to Crown the Knights the OHL/Mem. Cup champs quite yet. Frankly, I’m tired of reading London is gonna win everything so why bother…??
Mem cup is way different from just OHL. Dont think anybody can be crowned for that.

I am not a huge fan of London either but I’m just being real- barrie and Oshawa are going to beat eachother up probably in the east finals and londons gonna get a clear path to the championship. Nobody and I mean nobody in the west is beating them in a 7 game series.

Yep, just like Windsor in 2023, til they got "punched in the face" & swept by 8th place Rangers. Half the season to play yet and playoffs are a new season.
Windsor didn’t have anywhere near as good of a defence and Elliot is better than Costanzo was then and WAY better than Onuska

London has a top 3 forward group in the league. Top 2 defence and a goalie who is yet to lose a game in the CHL this year- 17-0. Just got cam Allen to be their 3rd best d man and he would be the best on most teams in the CHL. Oh and there is Jett Luchanko rumours too?

I hate the knights because they win every year but this team may be better than last years and that’s saying something because they were a game away from winning the memorial cup and they destroyed Oshawa in the OHL finals last year.

I'm a long time Knights STH and fully realize what a strong team we have. Just don't like the cockiness of a couple of posters that think it's a fait accompli.

Absolutely right Memorial cup is just a dumb format Final game Knights play a uncharacteristic first 2 periods, in the third the giant woke up , they out score outplay Saginaw You could see Saginaw goaltender was rattled If that lucky bounce hadn’t of happened Saginaw was done in ot even though we knocked them out in a 7 game series Saginaw host team shouldn’t of even been there Or final 2 teams should play a 7 game series then we would of saw the best team win. Saginaw know this by the way , can’t really feel like a memorial cup champ going in the back door rested Change in memorial cup format needs to be made , no host team should get in unless they win to get in !!

I don't think there is any interpretation besides a pending trade to keep Hawrey out of the lineup.

Just enjoy the ride this year. We're going to have a fourth line that could be a second line on many teams.

With respect to other teams loading up...Windsor loaded up a couple of years ago and went out 4 straight to Kitchener.
You just never know.
I like the Knights roster as it is now.

Few more days we will find out if Mark can keep him out of a deal to Guelph
