You weren’t alone… I may have yelled more than once at him during the tournamentNot going to lie......he's a talented player but when his helmet fell off and he continued to skate around and get involved in the play I was screaming at the TV: "Go to the bench!". but he didn't listen.
Reminded me of my kids actually.
. on his highlight reel goal last night
I am still a bit baffled by the return for DBB and Del Mastro combined. I think what we saw this deadline was the value of players and in particular '05s and '06's. Martone, JVV, Lardis all worth at least 2 2nds, 2 3rds and teams felt more confident acquiring players and seeing the value as what a pick would be.
Yes Oke has done very well. I was asking questions about the coaching only a month ago when the Petes had a losing streak going. Oke obviously waited that out smartly. At the time the Petes were playing all the top teams and losing. This next game vs a re-built Sarnia team will be a big test on Thursday.Random notes..........
- First off, I have to thank GM Mike Oke
Despite his lack of draft picks he was proactive with all of his trades this year.
Aug. 8 - acquires Lockhart and his unrealized potential from Erie (see Emmett Sproule)
Oct. 3 - gets Panwar as an OA from Flint who had 4
Nov. 12 - gets Othmann from Flint for Guryev + picks
Jan. 7 - Hayes, White and Beck for 4 players and picks he had left
The Othmann trade was early and not many saw it coming and now Hayes, White and Beck prior to Wright and Morrison deals. Realizing the cost for Morrison & Wright would be too much with no opportunity to recoup picks he pivoted and made his move.
Most trade deadlines I rarely sleep well the 3 or 4 days prior but I slept like a baby last night and will for the next two.

- I'm beginning to wonder if JR Avon is psychic
Back at the TDL 3 years ago (Jan. 9, 2020) the Petes were making a trade with the IceDogs for Akil Thomas and I believe that Avon was part of an initial deal that was agreed upon. As a rookie, JR had the ability to use his NTC and did. As a result the Petes pivoted to Butler instead. Unfortunately COVID appeared and put an end to the Petes championship hopes. Avon is from Peterborough, was still attending the same highschool with his friends from before his OHL draft and was struggling to adjust to the OHL so I understand using the NTC.
But what if the actual reason he used the NTC was because he can see the future?!
He knew that the season would be cancelled.
He knew that going to the IceDogs might not be the best for his future.
He knew that he would be a late bloomer who would sign with the Flyers as a free agent because of his impressive speed and skill.
He knew that Oke would make deals to strengthen the Petes' core group to make a run at an OHL championship this season.
On second thought, maybe Avon was a big fan of Akil Thomas (with Thomas scoring the GWG in the gold medal game) and just wanted to meet him and be his teammate and that's why he used his NTC!
I think the return was shocking-wayyy lower than expected.
I don’t think so. They both are done after this season and they still got 2 1st round picks from the ‘05 and ‘06 draft (as well as a 2nd and 2 4ths). They were technically two separate deals which paired with our talk about player values being at least 2 2nds 2 3rds, for half a season of these two guys is pretty fair value. Arcuri, Harrison and Zhilkin (minus fishman) all only went for picks, and in most cases was 2 2nds and 3 3rds which is essentially the value of an ‘05/‘06 first rounder.
Top 5 selected 16 yr old (second time ever?) and a 2nd pick (this year) is an excellent return
Martone is going to be a REALLLY good player in this league
I am sorry -I didn’t mean to slight Martone.
The rumoured price of Wright was said to be JVV plus two or three 2nds and three 3rds. I would put Wright and Del Mastro in the same category and I would also put Martone and JVV in the category.
Don't forget mr. Oke we still needan experienced backup goalie
Mr. Oke. We still need a backup goalie in case Simpson goes down or has a few badRandom notes..........

Doubtful. Unless it’s just a player for player type swap which is possible
What player? We already traded Van Volsen and Lardis, whjo are the only 2 that could have begun a convo for Wright. That ship has sailed. I think Oke is still 1 D-man short but the deadline isnt here yet. Would like to get Hache from fronts or Sharp from the fish
Something similar to the Owen sound soo deal earlier today where it’s just 1 player for 1 player or maybe another depth piece for a late pick
I never said Wright I’m talking about depth trades the big splashes are done
Thouht you were talking about Wright. THen yeah do McCoy for Hache or McCoy for Sharpe
Obviously. Wed only be sure that'll happen if it already happened lol. Im saying id do that
