Do we think that one of Medina/Onuska and Josh Currie to the Pete’s make sense?

That’s fair but only goalies left are Simpson, Sztuska and 2 16 year olds…

The goaltending situation is somewhat concerning and I'm not sure what the best plan is.
They do need to figure out what they have in Sztuska......sooner rather than later.
 
Sztuska has looked good in camp but what happens when the real deal starts do you watch him get creamed then make a desperation trade bad look on us.

It's an equally bad look committing to a player, dragging him around as a third stringer all season, then dumping him without ever giving him a chance.

My main issue with Sztuska as the backup is I like more of an age gap between the two goalies. There's a decent chance Simpson is back as an OA next season, then Sztuska is a backup in his final year of eligibility and never ends up starting, what's the point of that?

The writing is on the wall though, they've already said the 16 year olds will play Jr. A and Sztuska is the only other one left.

It would… but our GM has already stated he won’t use an OA on a backup goalie. Simpson has been appointed the #1 goalie already
 
Teams are much better off if they don't have to use up an OA spot for a goalie (thanks, Captain Obvious!)

My guess is that Oke waits to see what the OA landscape looks like around the league after NHL camps.
Given the depth the Petes have, Oke is not desperate to make trades at this point. He is in a position of power when it comes to trading this season - a nice change for him.

Once the OA picture around the league is clearer, I expect Oke to acquire 1 OA forward.
When the trade deadline comes he can assess the Petes' needs and make deals.

Will they need an OA goalie? Brochu or Medina/Onuska
Will they need an upgrade on Spearing?
Will they need an OA who is a 3rd line gritty forward or a top 6 scorer?

These 3 teams and their OA decisions may impact what the Petes end up doing.

London Knights
G Brett Brochu
D Gerard Keane
D Bryce Montgomery
F Sean McGurn

Windsor Spitfires
G Xavier Medina
G Mathias Onuska
D Michael Renwick
F Josh Currie
F Matthew Maggio

Hamilton Bulldogs
G Marco Costantini
D Gavin White
F George Diaco
F Mark Duarte
F Avery Hayes
F Logan Morrison
 
I like the idea of adding 1 OA soon and then waiting until closer to the deadline to see what teams are sellers as there will be more guys available

I’m thinking we will see a couple signings today… 2F’s and a G is my prediction! :sarcasm:

Sam Alfano with 1G ((powerplay) and 1A in Eries first agme yesterday. Then scored in the shootout

I expect that Connor Lockhart will score his share of points and likely will have more points that Sam Alfano. That is how trades work. You have to give up value to get value.

Oh i had no idea how trades work, thanks for that.

Nobody said Alfano would score more points then Lockert. Im sure people on here care about how the guy they cheered on for a while is doing. Do us a favour and chill out
 
Easy win over the Gnes today. Wasnt able to make it and the stream was pretty bad so didnt get too much of a watch but wil be there next weekend against Subury. Hopefully they play there top guys and we can get a better feel for what we are

I saw some of the game online and the Petes looked good, dominated but the Gens sat a lot of their key guys so the score not surprising. Having said that, it is a good sign for the Petes. I think it was Guryev that clobbered some kid in the corner who went off holding his arm. It was a clean hit but I wish Guryev would hold off on making the big hits as he is prone to penalties. I like the look of Lockhart, a good skater and good on the PK.

Who are your ideal targets for those 2 spots? I think Hill from sarnia would look good in the third line centre spot

They will probably get one from Hamilton and I am sure its one of those back door deals that involved trading McTavish last year.

I think a Piercey out of Flint or an OA stud goalie like Constantini or Lennox.

I think Alfano was a great return for us. He’s certainly doing more for us than Lockhart. It’s unfortunate because Lockhart was supposed to be more of a player than he turned out to be. That’s partially on us for having the lack of talent/development in the last few years. A change in scenery is good see Sproule as an example.

We had a meet and greet yesterday and Alfano was very pleasant and Erie is happy he’s here. He’s exciting to watch.

Should work out well for both teams. Lockhart is probably the more impactful player this season and that's what the Petes needed but Alfano is a very good player in his own right and brings an extra year of eligibility, some size etc... I hope he has a great season in Erie and if he gets his skating up, he could have a really bright future.

I did not watch much of the game but from what I read the Petes played well. I don’t think the fact that Oshawa sat out some of their top players was a factor as we also had a number of players sitting out like JR Avon, Nick Lardis, Justin DeZoete, Shawn Spearing and Donovan McCoy.

In regards to the Petes adding overages I am sure we will be able to get two quality forwards. We likely need a LW for the top six and depth forward to play on the third line.
