After it was 4-0 Oshawa I turned off the TV went outside cleaned eaves and raked leaves. Came back in and it was 5-3 so rewound the game and watched the Petes claw back to tie it. Then McCoy with his 2nd OT winner in a week. Beautiful and really unbelievable. This team has so much heart that they beat the Oshawa Curse.

Play like this will make the decision to trade players more difficult. What is the feeling around the rink? Should they go for it or trade like they would do in a normal year?

I think the fans that closely followed the team for years and understand the Junior Hockey cycle recognize that the Petes need to do some sort of rebuild this year. There is much debate among these fans how big the rebuild should be. The Petes are drawing huge crowds and many are new fans. If the Petes trade their star players many of the newer fans and even some long term fans will be upset. It will be hard for many to see the Petes go from a contender to possibly missing the playoffs.

They’re gunna trade guys off still… if they weren’t they wouldn’t have traded Connor Lockhart to our biggest rival.

I think the only thing in question is if they target an 07 or 06 in the Beck trade.

I am starting to wonder if they could target a change of scenery forward with some of the picks they get in the Beck and Mayer trades. An attempt to stay somewhat competitive even after selling off the top guys.

I think they are only going to trade a few players. They will trade Owen Beck and Sam Mayer. In the Beck trade they will likely want a more established forward rather than a 16 year old and they will want a 17 year old defenceman for Sam Mayer. In both deals they could get at least three, 2nds, two or three, 3rds and maybe a 4th. That alone will almost rebuild their draft pick cupboard. They may trade Konnor Smith and Liam Sztuska for the right offer. They will likely keep Jax Dubois, Tommy Purdeller, Jonathan Melee and Donovan McCoy as they likely return as overages next year. The Petes will make the trades they make with the goal of at least making the playoffs and remaining as competitive possible.

I would imagine they get 2 players for Beck if they want similar to the Mctavish trade

i keep circling back to Saginaw. Aiden Young and Liam Storch…
The only issue I have with trading with Saginaw is they do not appear to have any 2024 2nd round draft picks. I am sure the Petes are going to want a 2nd in the upcoming draft. The Owen Beck trade is the trade where we have the best opportunity to get one.

you guys will get an 07 for sure no reason why you shouldn’t for Owen beck.

Jason Robertson in his final year in was doing amazing with kingston - carrying the team every night doing everything right but not leading the league in points. then got traded to Niagara and won the chl scoring title. Beck is more of a 2 way player so he won’t do that however I wouldn’t be surprised to see his numbers pop more if he got sent to another team.

Although the Pete’s are a good team right now. If he gets traded to a team like Saginaw (example) that is still loading up I feel his numbers will do nothing but sky rocket with the better offensive players around him.

He is a top 5 forward in the league imo. Rehkopf is great for instance but is a little 1 dimensional, beck can win faceoffs, play d, go anywhere in the lineup they put him and the kids a winner and will bring that winning mindset. Some team will pay the hefty price that it will be. Not sure if that team is Saginaw though as I feel they are more obligated to buff their goaltending and defence first but you never know. They will empty every draft pick and every bit of value they can get for players to win the m cup this year.
