generally if your injured and on an nhl contract, you stay on that nhl contract until your cleared, no matter where the injury occured, i think its an insurance issue, he was hurt while under contract, so the nhl team leads the treatment. i doubt that he will be in edmonton, but he will just not be re-assigned until he is cleared, i could be wrong on that but thats how its worked before.

Makes sense. I assume that means he would be paid his NHL contract rate while completing rehab? If so, that is good for him.
Frontenacs Acquire forward Tuomas Uronen from the 67's - Kingston Frontenacs
The Kingston Frontenacs have completed a trade with the Ottawa 67's acquiring import forward Tuomas Uronen. Uronen is a 6’0”, right-handed shooting winger that was selected 57th overall in the 2023 CHL Import Draft by the Ottawa 67's.

And guessing Kingston didn't...
Will be interesting if they pick up a younger prospect, hopefully one that can play centre

I had heard this Uronen trade was impending. We may find out as early as tomorrow the path that Boyd will put this team on this season and next...personally I'm hoping for a younger prospect that'll be part of a re-tool/re-set for the 67s. I'm cautiously optimistic that Boyd has a prospect identified if he's willing to part with a good player in Uronen.

I’m happy they got something tangible in return for Uronen. The assumption clearly is they have a target in mind. They pick at #33. When you pick that early, you really need to use it.
I can’t remember who told me but I was told that there is a likelihood of it being a Russian D-Man that they have identified. I am not sure if that is a target or an actual agreement etc but if they draft a Russian D-Man, don’t be surprised. In a lot of ways, that does make some sense. They will likely have an OA D-Man (Mayich or Sirman) plus Mews and Marrelli. But, after that it is a bit of a challenge. They will likely dress three relative rookies (Brady, Dietsch, Eshkawkogan) to round out their top 6 based on current depth chart. So, I would not be surprised if their target is 18 years old and has a lot more experience.
The challenge is if they do pick a “prospect” type player as a 17 year old, they will return both that player and Korbler the following season. If they finish low in the standings this year, they will have another high Import pick. What would be interesting is if they decided to trade one of those imports to make room for the high Import pick in 2025. Something to keep an eye on if the 67s end up retooling. You can trade the Import player but you cannot trade the actual pick. So, they could end up with a pick int he early 20’s that they end up passing on which may not be good.

Does anybody know the conditions? Can the picks improve or just activate based on games played/points?Frontenacs Acquire forward Tuomas Uronen from the 67's - Kingston Frontenacs

I'd guess so - the weird thing is the OHL Website lists an extra conditional 2027 FLNT 5th going to Ottawa that neither team mentioned in their posts so I'm not sure what's going on there.
once its posted ill look it up, they probably get the pick if he is on the roster after a certain date.

Late to the party on this, but I am genuinely shocked that Marrelli went undrafted, especially after having a very solid World U-18 tournament. I underestimated just how strong the swing was back to big boy hockey. You would think that the later rounds would be the place where teams could take a flier on smaller guys but apparently not this year. It's not like Marrelli is 5'8" either - he's 5'11". These things go in cycles, and soon enough teams will be back to looking for skill when some of the dancing bears they drafted in the late rounds don't pan out, but in the meantime Frankie is going to have to do it the hard way.
Meanwhile, I have no idea why Calgary drafted Henry Mews when they already drafted Zayne Parekh. To me they are pretty similar players. Don't misunderstand - I think Mews was crazy good value in the third round for any team taking him, and I think he will show pretty quickly that he should have gone much earlier, but I'm just surprised that a team would take two offensive defencemen in the same draft...

Just asking thoughts on this- I don’t have any information but what do you think the chances Marelli asks to go to another team so he can be the star d man and hopefully get drafted next year? It’s no secret mews was the big star between the 2 and maybe NHL guys looked down on Marelli because of it.

Assuming Mayich is traded, Marrelli will be the top-pairing LHS d-man (with Mews) for the 67s this upcoming season. If Sirman is traded instead of Mayich, Marrelli maybe bumps down to the second pairing. Personally, I don't think exposure is Marrelli's problem insofar as the draft is concerned; he played a ton of minutes for the 67s last season (and played on the 3rd pairing for almost the entire 2022-2023 season as a 16-year old rookie) at ES, 2nd PP unit at times, and served as one of the core PKers. He also played on the Canadian U-18 team (and played well).
Marrelli's problem is likely that he is a jack of all trades, master of none. And he doesn't have great size for one of those sorts of d-men. He lacks the size/strength (for now) to really muscle opponents around in the d-zone. He works his ass off and he's good in all facets of the game, but isn't really outstanding at any one thing. Personally, I think he's been a better d-man for the 67s than has Mews, in terms of reliability, consistency, and ability to play in any situation.
Would be interesting to get a scout's take on Marrelli.

Agreed 100%. I think players that play like him need to bigger. They tend to be projected as 3rd pairing types that have a very specific role. If you take a look at a player like Codi Ceci at 6’3”, if he weren’t able to develop his offensive skills to translate at the NHL level, at least he would have some size and could fall back to a 3rd pairing role. I think that safety net is what teams are looking for on defence. Either they look at high skill high ceiling offensive talent or big body offensive upside that can play the defensive side in a more physical role. There really isn’t much of a place for a sub-6’1” D-Man that isn’t offensively gifted. I think that is a reason why Mews dropped so much. He is pretty much at the borderline size wise (6’1”) and hasn’t shown the ability to play quality defence. There doesn’t seem to be much of a safety net for him. Either he is a #1/#3 guy that moves the puck and get PP time professionally or he isn’t a pro. I don’t think anyone looks at Mews as a defensive stalwart.

The worst thing that could happen to Marrelli is to keep him with Mews. He needs to be the second pairing with a different RHD man
The big question is, who does Boyd have on his list that is coming here as an import?
Hopefully it is a RH Center of D man

the hockey news write up on Frankie
Frankie Marrelli, LHD, Ottawa (OHL)
He’s an undersized blueliner who plays a defensive game and didn’t really get the chance to show off his offensive chops this year. He came into the year as a player who many believed had an outside shot at being a top-50 pick, but he didn’t have a standout trait. Because of this, he struggled to differentiate himself among the group of defenders in the mid-late rounds. Marelli should be a player that teams keep tabs on over the next few years as his role and opportunity grows in the OHL.

Another small centre..jeez guys. Per Scott Wheeler:
"Rumblings in recent months that he might have interest in coming over. Would be a nice get."
"Rumblings in recent months that he might have interest in coming over. Would be a nice get."
Looks like he has played up age levels for the past few years. pretty good production for a 17 year old in a u20 league. Pretty good international stats as well.

From Brock Otten: "We gave him an "A" grade in our draft guide early look at next year. He's not big, but he's incredibly smart and skilled."
