Gotta be hamilton

Will someone please ask Jeff Marek? He seems to be plugged in more than everyone on here.

Maybe if our unvetted insiders weren’t sitting in time out…. We’d know something.

It’s been so peaceful around this place without the unvetted insider.

They will get 5 pick back minimum for him next year and a roster player similar to the Stillman deal

BANG

 

[ptbopete]

did we just trade away half our team plus half our future for this year lol

 

[BarberPole9]

Yes. Yes, you did.

 

[cleodog]

Thinking out loud I know he looks like he’ll make it to pros one day but Tucker Robertson was drafted in his second chance year so he could potentially get sent back to Pete’s next year and Seattle doesn’t lose his rights am I correct on that? Or do they have to sign him cause he’s 20?

…a lot of that going on today. See you at the draft lottery next year.

You could get him back next year, yes. Seattle has yet to sign him.

Don’t bet on it though.

Ya, doesn't have to be signed until after his OA season.

I’m asking even when they sign him. They don’t have to use a year of ELC do they since he was drafted in second year of draft eligibility. That’s what I’m getting at

 

[dirty12]

The Petes are a fast team, holy!

Entry Level contracts only slide for 18 and 19-year-old players, so yes Seattle would use a year of his ELC if thy signed him.

 

[ptbopete]

Adding Avery Hayes in particular puts us over the top I think. He snipes.

It would be rare that a back to back 40 goal player isn’t signed and sent to the AHL.

You have to remember that if Seattle doesn’t sign him this coming summer and sends him back to junior unsigned, there is no incentive for him to sign with Seattle. He doesn’t go back into the draft. He is a free agent. He can sign an ELC with any NHL team that suits his situation best.

If Seattle signs him, they will want the development in their hands in the AHL.

 

[NorthernVoice]

lets see that DEFENCE!!

This can't be a Barrie guy (128 GA in 34 games, NEGATIVE goal differential on the season, middling penalty kill) calling out the Petes (106 GA in 36 GP, +25 goal differential, top 5 penalty kill) ability to keep the puck out of the net, right?

I'm sure Clarke will bridge that 30+ goal gap though, not like he was a complete liability at the WJC or anything...

 

[OMG67]

Let me try to poke some holes in this for fun. And remember, this is just a for fun exercise.

The proposed lineup that has been posted seems very top heavy. Two really good lines provided BeckA nd Othmann click. The third line is going to have to contribute more as a shit down line. It doesn’t look like there will be significant offence coming from it. Stillman is fine at a point per game but Melee and Dubois are supplementary players. The fourth line is garbage but who cares? This means the offence is going to have to be carried mostly by two lines.

On the back end, White and Mayer will carry the offensive load. They are more than fine for that. No questions there at all. Zannetti, Smith and McCoy are fine as complementary defensive guys That can move the puck. Spearing rounds out the group as the team leader but injury issues are a problem.

Nothing wrong at all with Simpson in net.

Solid team for sure. Gotta hope injuries don’t creep into the top two lines. Not a lot of depth past those two lines. That is where the Achilles Heal seems to be, depth.

To me the success of the Petes boils down to the top heavy front two lines. They will need ot score consistently against the other teams in the playoffs. A team like North Bay has a lot more depth and a really good front line. Speaking from an honest position, I am not sure who to pick between North Bay and Peterborough. I tend to lean towards teams with more depth. Injuries happen and the depth comes in handy for injury replacements. I think I lean towards North Bay right now.

We wills ee what Ottawa does. If they do add Morrison, Mintyukov and another piece, I’d need to reevaluate the seeding.

I think Barrie sits in 4th at this point. Everyone knows my issue with Wright. And they really need to surround Wright with a couple players on top of him. We shall see what they end up doing but I’m not worried about Barrie at this point.
