Ottawa 67s 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

Yes. It has been a while since the NOOF. I joined here when the NOOF took its final death knell. Looks like that was Sept 2013 based on my registration date on this site.

I remember the OOF. I think it was hosted out of Queens University. The memory is vague from back in the Usenet days.

We all know DC was not able to help Mews, so it will be interesting to see how he does with Ekberg.

Pinelli Ekberg Foster should be the first line

I fully agree about that Ekberg/Pinelli should be a duo going forward but I don't know about Foster playing his off side. Also, adding Foster to that already dangerous duo may be unnecessary front loading. Gotta spread the wealth, have more than just one topline. Ekberg/Pinelli would primarily need somebody to cover them defensively and dig out pucks for them. Therefore, Foster might be a waste in this role. Körbler could do it but I want to see him with Dever personally. That leaves Kelly or Horner as my preferred options to round out that topline. I guess the 67's don't have the ideal winger for that duo on their current roster but I think Kelly/Horner are the best they have to offer for now.

I would think possiblyHOrner BUT does he have teh speed. Also one of the things that the scouts are looking for is Ekberg to play both ends of the ice and improve defensively. Being on a line that makes him do so might be what he needs.

I also do not see Pinellli here after the deadline so having foster means the first line still is in good shape

If Foster is the 3rd wheel, where would DC Play Korbler?
