Ottawa 67s 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[analyser]

I think it is too early to make that assessment. We have the Priority Selection, Import Draft, NCAA recruiting, and potentially a new coaching staff of sorts. I think there is a lot of room for improvement.

I think this needs to be reassessed around Aug 1. I think we will have a better sense of what we will have to work with by then.

The issue is they want you to renew your STH before March 31st without really seeing what may transpire concerning the possibilities you have mentioned. DC still around and I do not see a whole lot of improvement.

I forgot about Uronen. I wonder if anyone mentioned anything about that in the offseason last year?

Before you say that Boyd shipped him, the question that is still unknown is what the situation would have been for a line to play on as well as a team.

Kingston has centers that can play center as well as some other good players to take the heat off.

Also, don't discount the difference in coaches. Mann would want him to score and keep him. If Uronen had the year he is having, Boyd would have traded him unless DC decided to put him on the second line and have him work on his defence.

I would like to see someone trade for Korbler, like Niagara, and see how he does with a different coach and system.

I spent today's game trying to figure out which team was more disinterested, the 67s or the referees. The zebras completely blew the call on Stonehouse launching himself into Ekberg and then, of course, who scores the tying goal?

DC never saw a good time to call a timeout. 1.4 seconds left, faceoff in the Petes end. Pull the goalie and give it a go. It rarely ever works, but, geez man, every Minor Hockey coach imaginable would do that. This team is uninspired and unprepared. His shootout selections were, as usual, baffling.

I'm glad the STH renewal period is in full swing.

Sounds like a WJC coach I read about.

If I was in Ottawa I would be waiting to renew my STH first to see what the team has and also because there is little chance someone is going to buy them LOL

I still think that the best thing that could happen is for DC to announce that he has decided to retire after this year. I know many here think I am wrong, but I still believe that if DC is the coach going into the draft and after, a few of the agents will ask Boyd to pass on their players. The top 10 drafted, especially, all have NHL in their eyes, and so far, DC has not developed a single NHL star or top-round pick.

Goal-scoring, offensive-minded kids are not going to want to come here and sit on the bench.

You talk about NCAA players turning delaying. Why would you ifyou canstart youre education ans play learning a NCAA system or play on the sad sack 67's
