Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part I

[User13452]

I think the return is small no matter who they move and where they go also pretty sure the Pete’s already have 3 OA forwards so I don’t understand this move for them if it happens

They need offence and Mcyintre will probably be released if this deal goes through

I’d happily take mcyintire adds a lot of toughness

 

[frontsfan67]

Called this last week I think. Not Bryant but this type of move. Pete’s need some extra help scoring. Will be a cheaper move but an effective one

Like a vermulen that hits and has some offence

But wouldn’t Niagara still have 3 OAs after dealing Bryant? Van Vliet, Loshko, Flores?

Niagara won’t be taking him back they will have their 3 OA’s set

It would probably more likely be a pick or two i can’t see them trading an OA to get one and still be at 4

Top of the Conference. Top of the Division.

#8 in the latest OHL Power Rankings.

ridiculous.

Reminds me of "Who's Line is it Anyway" where the points were all made up. I put this ranking in the same category as the "three stars", it is for entertainment purposes based upon who is liked. Niagara has never been in the in crowd.

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

Careful what you wish for. For this team to go on a deep playoff run, DDD would have to be a buyer at the trade deadline.

Musty, Musty..he will put butts in the seats. Kind of a local guy. He could be your guy?

In spite of the standings would you consider Barrie, London, Brampton, Erie, and Brantford to be better teams right now and going forward; the power rankers do.
If you want to know who has played best to this point, look at the standings.

If Darren believes he can win an OHL championship (and with a 7-2 record he's the type of individual who may actually believe that), trading for Musty is not inconceivable. He is currently seeking out trades to improve the team.

So much of the power rankings are based on perennial performance and organizational status, mixed in with a dose of reading the tea leaves. Niagara could have a perfect season and miss one game which would result in a power dive. London could have an average season and never leave the top five. I'm not suggesting Niagara deserves anything just casting my disdain on crystal ball gazing and cronyism.

Incoming OA deal this afternoon. Yes, Bryant to the Petes

It’s not really crystal ball gazing, it is more like mimicking MLB power rankings to get more viewers going to the OHL site.

London and Erie not in our conference Brampton is over rated Brantford top defence men returning Barrie could be the team to bear but usually dsappoints.

Bryant to Peterborough for two picks just caught in the numbers game

Is he an over ager

Musty is an OA next year so it would only be for this year and they aren’t winning anything this year so pointless trade idea IMO

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

Trade has happened.

Goodbye Gavin. You were fun to watch last year.

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

Half the people on Facebook are completely clueless about the need for this trade and our OA situation.

Always best to avoid all comments on team socials. Most casual fans have zero idea what is involved in OHL roster construction.

Sometimes I'll start a reply to a clueless comment, then I just delete it and move on.

Instagram is the same

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

There was reason to keep all 4 OA's and there were reasons you could give as to why any should be the one to go.

At the end of the day, the team is winning and the 3 active players have been a big part in that.

Best of luck Gavin. You were a warrior!

This trade once again highlights DDD deficiencies with managing draft assets of this organization:
He pays a 3rd, 4th, 5th for an OA.
He trades a quality OA player for a 3rd.
