He had a higher save percentage than all of them behind a much worse team and if a team cares about playoff experience he has an OHL Championship even if it's as a backup.
He’s just sharing his prediction, I believe.
Has Masen Johnston actually been reassigned and has Liam Sztusta been traded or is this your prediction of what you think might happen?
I was thinking the same thing after see it on X (Twitter). I think Zach Bowen can handle the starting goaltender position. He had a good record at start of last season but struggled playing behind the rebuild defence after the trade deadline in his limited starts after his injury. I was not at the barbecue was there anybody that was on the season roster not there?
Sorry, Donovan Mccoy.
Yes he was traded but not right after being named captain or an alternate captain. I am not saying that Chase Lefebvre, Jonathan Melee or Ryder MacIntyre will not be traded this season if the Petes get the right offer for them but I think there is a good chance that all three will be Peterborough’s overages to start the season.
Could they not still do like they did last year with Lockhart and just healthy scratch one until a suitable trading partner materializes?
That is definitely a possibility but I think the player traded will be Liam Sztuska. I am sure there is a market for an overage goaltender at this point but once the season starts a team could decide they need an upgrade in goal and decide that Sztuska fits their needs.
Before Brantford made that trade for leenders I called sztuska going to either Brantford or London. Now with Brantford getting leenders- think the runaway favourite here has to be London. Also helps a year ago they made that trade for another OA goalie from the Pete’s in Michael Simpson
I think London may wait to make a trade for an overage goaltender. They will likely allow Owen Willmore a chance to be the starting goaltender but if he falters they may trade for a goaltender. There may be other teams that want an overage goaltender. Windsor is a team that I could see wanting an upgrade in goal and there may be others.
It’s easy to scratch Sztsuka especially on
Something is going to happen and as we learned once again last year, when there is an examiner article or OHL spotlight and Petes management speaks, not everything is to be taken at face value and it all comes down to us thinking critically and not regurgitating talking points as that does not contribute anything effectively.
Definitely a spot for Novotny on that top wing spot. Ideally next season that third line combo moves up to your second line and Novotny replaces Mcyintre spot
