London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part VI

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Sarnia poster brought up an interesting topic that I'd invite others to discuss. Maybe it's too early to know but we have time to kill before game 1...
Will the new CHL rules help or hinder the Knights moving forward?
E.g. Is it more challenging now for London to draft their coveted players given that there's little room for players to bluff other teams. Before a player could say to an O team, don't pick me I'm headed to the BCHL or USHL with the hope of playing college hockey. Then, London nabs the kid in a later round. Now, how are these kids/agents going to bluff?
On the other hand, a Sarnia poster raises an interesting point...maybe the high end U.S. kids will want to come to London in droves.
Just wanted to get the opinions of others....

I wouldn't expect it to change things much. The threat there before was that the player wouldn't report to said team and they could still play that card although maybe not as veiled.

I do think it will bring more talent to the league as a whole which is great for everyone from an entertainment perspective.

I think the CHL/NCAA winner this year was Kitchener. Between the coaching they've gotten the last two seasons and the mid season adds this year that is why they are the threat they are.

Barkey has only gotten better and better since mono. Took him a while to get it going but he's been the best player on the ice every game. And he's better then he was from last year. I agree with the Bonk assessment. He definitely would not hurt having another year in junior.

I think both need to be in the A next season for their development. I agree Barkey was awesome from December onwards. Bonk didn’t put the numbers up this year and wasn’t regarded as the #1D. Obviously Dickinson took over this year, but I think it’ll be interesting to see what Bonk does in the playoffs
