Owen Sound Attack 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

I don't disagree personally but DeGray said it would play out in September on Attack Rap(for what that's worth). I think, just speculation on my part, they want everyone back from pro camps before they make any moves. However unlikely it may be, George has been stellar in the AHL and could potentially threaten a spot in the NHL as the back up(or at the very least, earn an extended stay in camp before being sent back). I think it makes sense to wait unless George is the one they deal. Might be an indication that Dale thinks he could get better value at the end of the pre-season once it's clear teams need a goalie.

Just thinking out loud, the Attack's top goalie prospect is now likely Eli Winters who is committed to the USNTDP which I believe would keep him for two years. If the plan was to deal Bennett in the offseason and potentially George at the deadline, the Attack would have no obvious replacement to back up Koprowski without bringing back a goalie in trade. Probably a minor complication in the grand scheme of things though.

I would guess that that in itself is a hint to the future. I don't see Bennett actually leaving after next year, I've read way to much online that most of these commitments will be pushed back. And honestly, if you are a goalie and potentially NHL drafted goalie, you are not leaving the CHL where you are playing 40 games to be a backup and play 5-10 games in the NCAA.

I assume that the Attack are operating under the through that they will have both Bennett and Koprowski for two more years at least, hence why they drafted a goalie who may be 2 years away.

Just a guess but it seems to be where everything is going. Even Mason Roy and Michael Dec who is suppose to leave in 2 years, Im not sure it will play out that way.
 
So far, the Attack are tied with Erie and Kitchener for number of playoff games won against the Knights! Another good thing to build on. :)
