Ottawa 67's 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 3)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

The view from Boyd and his scouts might be that picks 3-9 are all pretty close, and that everyone's board likely looks different. Therefore, no value in tanking. I'm not saying they are right, necessarily, but that may well be the prevailing view. Also, coaches are wired to win, and you can't have a GM micromanaging the bench and player deployment. Dave Cameron is as competitive as anyone and he is going to go full Herm Edwards. TBH, I'd be exactly the same in his shoes...

YOu can play to win but shortening your bench so tht your future centers do not get ice time sends the message that yo do not trust them and you have no faith in them. Can anyone here tell me that Barlkas is a beter Center than whitehead

100%. The are wired to win. IF the goal was to tank then they needed to do it via trade at the deadline.

Ottawa has no centres at all. So, I don’t know what we are all talking about with respect to who is playing centres and who is not.

Whitehead has been far more effective as a winger. That’s the reality. Dever is likely the only player we have right now that has proven to be more effective at centre than on the wing.
