LW Quentin Musty - Sudbury Wolves, OHL (2023, 26th, SJS)

[ForsbergForever]

Does anyone know what's behind the recent trend of American prospects being extremely demanding and forcing trades?

Musty, McGroarty, Gauthier... it's starting to become a trend. Could we see it get to a point where it starts to hurt their draft rankings?

Slightly different as McGroarty/Gauthier wanted out of there respective NHL teams, Musty is at the OHL level. Wanting to be closer to home/on a contender.

Honestly it also makes sense for Sudbury to trade him....... When the right deal becomes available.

They aren't challenging for a Championship, so time to restock and build for 2 years from now. They missed there window.

Yeah like the only other offensive threat in rhe entire team is a huge guy picked in the 6th round last draft...

Nathan Villeneuve also a good player, but he's got to quit fighting and getting the boot from games.

Honestly, if you could put Villeneuves heart/effort level into Mustys body, you'd have an all time player.

Though last night his body language was once again piss poor. Old habits creeping in. Blowing the zone, poor effort etc.

It almost sounds like he doesn't want to be there...

Not sure what this has to do with simple effort level and/or body language.

Would also make more sense if it was an isolated (or new) issue, but it's been going on for years now.

Disappointing, cause the player is insanely talented.

It makes perfect sense if he's going through the motions until he is traded. Not saying, he's right doing so but it's not a shock that he isn't fully engaged.

Colby Barlow requested a trade at the OHL level too, don't lump in Musty with Gauthier and McGroarty.
