Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part II

Would you move Waslliyn and Crete for Musty,Delic and McCoy for a run?

No.

Its pointless because the west is so strong. Unless your only goal is to win the Conference and not the League I suppose.

Could get you to the final though.

Crete can't be moved as a non-first round 16 year old.

I know. I think the ultimate goal should always be the League Champion. If we don't have a realistic shot (and I don't think we do this year) then focus on a decent playoff run to give the younger players the playoff experience.

Paris back in. Flores is starting.

This is a full lineup today.

In addition to that some imo petty agents wannabe owners/GMs conspired to ruin the owner that seemed arrogant for naming himself GM.
Things were going very poorly for the franchise until DD found an agent with talented clients to work with. The product on the ice at least, looks pretty good now.

But why do you think agents were telling their kids not to come to the IceDogs? Rookie coaches? Team not paying for meals? Taking long game day bus trips rather than staying in a hotel? Budget to low? Bullying issues? Take your pick. But all these issues started under DD’s watch.

With regards to DD partnering with an agent, wouldn’t a better way to operate be to pick the best player available. That is what the Burke’s did and the IceDogs record under the Burke’s was great. Under DD, we will never have the success that the Burke’s had.

Why are you asking questions when my answer is in the post you quoted?

I swear this forum talks about the same shit over and over 4-2 IceDogs let’s hope for a strong 3rd to finish what has been a great road trip so far.

They are look pretty good. Giving up lots of shot as usual but we seem to have better chances and the better goalie.

Looks like the Icedogs are having a great game! Hope the wolves can come back!

Roobroeck is incredible. Might be gone after next year. Don’t think he comes back at 19.

 

[IceDogs452]

IceDogs are now 20-9-2 and an even more impressive 15-3-2 against Eastern Conference opponents.

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

Amazing. A perfect road trip.

Way to go IceDogs!!

I know. I’m saying after he gets drafted he probably makes nhl right away. Since he has the late birthday he will be 18 at the start of next season and close to 19 by the start of the 2026/27 season.

Maybe I jumbled up my words but what I do mean is he is on pace for 90+ pts this year a 6’4 guy. May score 50 goals too.

Next year expect a bigger point increase too probably. May get 100-120 pts next year as well depending on missing time for world juniors then jump right into the nhl the following season

In other words- plan on next year being the go for it year with him and He leaving

Niagara has been quite vocal about putting in another bid for Memorial cup which would increase the chances of those guys coming back for 26-27 especially Roobroeck but who knows. Let’s get past this trade deadline first .

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

Wow, we have a really big game coming up on Thursday in Barrie. Wish I could go.

Yup, next year has to be the go for it year.

Roobroeck and Wassilyn will be in the running as top 10 picks in the NHL. He, will be back for 1 more year. Czata, Arrowsmith, Crete, Galiyanov all a year older.

It's important to make good on their 2 import picks, get the best value out there for the overage slots (check around the league, especially goaltenders) and really nail that big trade - which will include whoever they take in round 1
