Ottawa 67s 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[dirty12]

None of that makes it any more clear to me if Boyd can obtain a good prospect in a seller trade this season. I can see Pinelli and Romani traded for a similar 2,2,3,3,3 pick deal as some forwards were at the ‘23 deadline.

Yes, and that is what the market would bear for them. If there is considerable demand and less supply, the selling teams may have more leverage to pull out prospects.

With 21 players born 2006-08, NB might want to move some bodies out.

That comes down to the market, really. He has Pinelli. That should get a good prospect and picks or a lot of picks. The good prospect part will come down to the market.

If Mews ends up in the equation which I somehow doubt, that will definitely include a good prospect. There has been a shift in attitude surrounding Mews. His body language and sound bites with the media has changed. I’m not sure if that means anything but it “looks” like he is buying in to the program. Whether that means he is happy or not is another story but the dense I am getting is he doesn’t seem to be demanding a trade…more like requesting one if the right destination for him opens up.

Mews has been putting up really solid numbers so his value should be super high as an 18 year old. He’s sitting at 1.21 PPG which is almost even with Parekh (where he should have been last season). Things are going well and I think that has done a lot with respect to his attitude. I don’t think he will be moved.

I think it is going to be pretty difficult to keep Pinelli. I don’t seem any reason why Pinelli would want to stay. I think Pinelli not getting moved would be Pinelli requesting to stay and not be moved. That seems like an unrealistic situation but crazier things have happened.

With Mews you have to wonder if he has bought into the system or Calgary and his agent have told him to stop sulking and play hard. I am sure the Flames gave him instruction on what he needed to develop to get to the AHL level. I would also assume that his agent toldhim to talk to Bahl.
That being said I think that Boyd and his agent need to sit down and tal about what next year holds and if he still wants out then it is better to trade him now so that ateam gets this year and the next out of him versus trying to trade him next year.

If we trade him this year I can see us getting at least a few picks and a player. Assuming Saginaw is going for it this year then He along with Leblanc are the top 2 RD avail. But with Leblanc being OA that should up the price for Mews.

Personbally I am not sure who would bring the better return Pinelli or Mews I think that will depend on how many D and how many LW are avail in the draft.

Either way the issue is that we will get some good picks (hopefully this years draft) and it will be u to Boyd to use them properly and then for DC to develop the players.

Does anyone see a spot for Stonehouse anywhere other than here.

Mews obviously excels on PP, Brampton could use him I think.

Mews hands down without a doubt has higher value than Pinelli. It really isn’t even close.

Brady Stonehouse scratched tonight. He hurt or just a healthy scratch as the 4th OA?

4th OA. They’ve mostly sat out Gerrior when MacKenzie starts but I guess DC decided to share the pain a bit.
