Oshawa Generals 2024-25 Season Thread, Part 1

[HUSH10]

I think a Smith/Mayich deal would look very similar to the one for Punnett.

I think Mayich would be a tad cheaper but very compatible and both. Similar to Punnett, would send an OA (D'Amato) back the other way.

I don’t think you can look at the Punnett deal and extrapolate a real value. That one was an anomaly. Punnett was traded for a 3rd and a 6th. Both OS and Ottawa would keep the player before trading them for that. They both play an integral role for their teams.

The only way a deal like that goes down is if the player demands a trade to a specific team and if not traded, they leave and go to school for a semester.

I think you need to look more at the Mayer, Mancini, and Schmidt deals to get a better sense of what either of those deals would look like. Both would start at a 2nd and 3rd and depending on the competitiveness of the market for those players, it would go up from there.

It's a unique situation in

I guess we will see how things work out.
I'm fairly familiar with things in OS, I happen to think Degray would be fine finishing the year with 2 OA if need be .

It may be all moot .

For all those who would love KS, he may not be going anywhere . Time will tell.

Yeah it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Smith himself prefers to stay in Owen sound all season, as he was traded last year. If they’re good enough to finish 7-8, which I think they are, he may opt to stay.

 

[Leviathan899]

There really was no systems in OS last year under the now departed staff

Winnipeg should have stepped in and got him moved in that case. Dereliction of duties on their part imo. That’s why you have player development guys and scouts watching a lot of OHL hockey.

He’s not wrong. The whole season hinges on Ritchie returning. We both know it is HIGHLY unlikely he remains with Colorado BUT if it were to unexpectedly happen, it really would bury the Generals.

The amount of TOI Roobroeck is getting in Hartford, he may be back also.

Nah he’s not coming back.

I’m not so sure about Roobroeck because of his size. I think HE would benefit from it but I think they will jsut live with it in HArtford and allow him time to find the pace and contribute. At this point, I cannot see them sending him back. It is unfortunate. It means they need to go out and get a centre without any doubt at all. That is on top of a rougher style D-Man.

I think you are correct that D’Amato needs to be swapped for a different version of player. That may not need to be an OA though. They could get the higher priced 19 year old and then fill the Centre role with a cheaper OA.

Senneke plays with Ritchie and Barlow plays with whomever they acquire. Two lines deep with Griffn doing his best in the 3C role.

Definitely agree that D'Amato needs to be moved. Whether they go OA dman for him or get an 05 dman like a Bronson Ride would be a good add then you could get an OA forward. But I think the bigger hole right now is the Defensive side because at this point, Ritchie will be back, we are just watching the clock while Colorado deals with Injuries.

I feel pretty confident in Ritchie suiting up for the Gens Nov 1st.

As for Roobroek, I think it's still 50/50. Just depends what New York management sees is best for him and none of us know what that is.
