Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part II

Now that there is some success on the ice it can result in two things.

- DD stays on as owner and keeps trying.

- DD thinks the value of the team has increased and sells.

I bet it is the first one.

Or the 3rd possibility is to sell a share of the team to help raise some operating capital.

I'm personally hoping Bruce Boudreau puts together a group to buy this thing.
I think that would be an ideal situation knowing his involvement as an advisor.

I think the term 'advisor' is no more than a banner on the website. Besides if he was truly an advisor do you think he would be advising DD to make all the trades you and other posters have complained are foolish or would he be advising otherwise? No, I doubt there's much if any advising going on even at the player level. Btw, what ever happened to that guy Gretzky?

DD recently approached someone in attempt to sell the team but his offer was rejected for a combination of reasons. So that indicates he is actively looking.

If there really is no adviser, or scouts, or interim GM; who takes credit for all the right moves in 2024?

The team has slowly and steadily improved since his advisor status was announced and then when his son was promoted.

I really don't know but I don't think its a coincidence.

That was a good one too. However sticking London with the under-performing Copeland was highly entertaining.

Seems to me, that lately our London trades work out pretty good for the IceDogs.

Somehow I think you are joking on this one.

The IceDogs traded Copeland, a 2nd and a 3rd for Humphrey and Paris.

A few months later Humphrey was put on waivers and no one took him.

So the trade was really Paris for a 2nd and 3rd. Even a casual fan knows Paris is not worth a 2nd and 3rd. Paris is a 19 year old forward who has a career total 13 goals in his OHL career.

Now tell me, do you really think Paris is worth a 2nd and 3rd.

The IceDogs lost this trade.
