Peterborough Petes 2023-24 Season Thread (Part Two)

[OHL4Life]

It will come down to how desperate teams are. OS may look at Addy and think he is never going to amount to anything and he would be a bust. We don’t know that. But, barring that, you are right. Shocking that a 1st rounder went in a deal like that. I need to see the picks before I fully make a judgement though.

one thing about owen sound's situation is they have crawford and nansi that are 2nd and 4th round picks that are both in the top 20 scoring for 07s, so i can see how they perhaps view addy as more expendable.

i do think that there are tons of teams that are not just holding as is, like north bay, ottawa, flint that probably should sell but dont seem all that interested.

considering no other team has a prospect of that caliber on the table i say good luck with that.

ill take young and 4 picks or taylor/villenueve/walton and 4 picks over anyone that the soo has. id to martin for beck one for one. walton would be better than any player the soo can offer.

If you get a 1st for Smith and McCue, you will get five of them for Beck….. I mean Seriously? Teams are going to have to go out there and acquire extra 1sts to make a deal for Beck.

I think this is a sign of the market. Very few teams have committed to sell. If these are the prices right now, I hope the 67’s get in on the action.

Could not believe that those two players got an '07 1st. really shaping up to be a sellers market I guess. I mean I still can't see Martin in a deal but this is a strong market setter...

Petes should definitely move McCoy out as well. Although I don’t see them doing it but if the offer is too good to pass up I’m sure they will

 

[NorthernVoice]

McCue is a good player who might hold more value around the league than his numbers indicate, I think the Petes will miss him more than Smith, with him likely having 2.5 more years in the league and being one of the only guys potentially on the roster next year who can score.

That said, for the Petes current situation and when their earliest next competitive window likely is, this deal is a bit of a no brainer.

That maybe the case but I suspect the Soo balks at any deal involving Martin. If Peterborough thinks there's a better deal out there they should by all means take what's best for their franchise.

I believe the X-factor could be where Beck wishes to go, whether that's the Soo or elsewhere.

for sure, but theres just as much of a chance that that 'x factor' plays against them then for them.

sudbury could outbit them if they want, no question. other issue for the soo is that they covet hayes as well, but flint isnt hot and bothered about moving him either, so they will have to overpay. brown and a pick probably wont get it done.

Maybe it could be Beck and McCoy to the Soo...

 

[User13452]

Idk if the bus left today for sarnia but be interested to see who doesn’t board it today or tomorrow. Maybe they’ll just leave page in sarnia after the game

Maybe it could be Beck and McCoy to the Soo...

Martin be in the deal for sure then

 

[badnova]

The Petes will miss McCue much more than Smith

i'm by no means saying beck is "soo or bust", but I also think the chances are slim that Sudbury is one of his preferred destinations. just my 2 cents.

petes have told people that melee and mccoy are untouchable, but if martin is on the table no one should be untouchable.

totally fair

Are the Petes going to come away from this trade deadline with three first round 2007s?

How much accuracy is there to Jeff Marek`s post or is everyone getting excited about a trade that may never happen.

He broke a lot of deals at the deadline last year

Probably the only one spitting out trade rumours thus far on social media so everyone is clamouring to it...doesn't hold much water at this point but we'll see

 

[NorthernVoice]

Marek is probably about the most reliable there is for OHL. He has a huge platform, he's not going to risk his credibility unless he's pretty damn sure IMO.

 

[ktownfan]

It is true, Jeff Marek not going to harm his rep

its done. i think the pick is a 3rd in a future year but not sure.

 

[Millpond]

Addy is a nice add for Ptbo. Great size, physical, first-round selection. He'll fit their game well moving forward.

Nico is just starting to find his way.

The Attack have Nansi and Crawford who are both way ahead of him in development.

What are we getting in Sam McCue

 

[User13452]

It’s definitely less likely the move melee and McCoy they still need to have some veteran experience in the room. Plus they can get what they would get now in the offseason most likely

 

[Petes1987]

He was correct with the Owen Beck trade and the Avery Hayes and Gavin White trade last year.

It's done . Guaranteed

Crawford is way ahead of schedule, Nansi finding his way, getting lots of opportunity, Not producing alot, but getting lots of opportunity. Addy seems willing to use his big body, has an NHL shot, he will be effective in the years to come.

You're getting a player that will work his bag off. His skating is subpar, and his skill isn't top-notch, but has a potential scoring touch, and will hit/fight as needed. Wasn't able to crack the line up last year ahead of any current guys. But I think the potential is there if he can even sniff how good Max is once developed.
