Peterborough Petes 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[Donnie740]

The Petes were not in a position to trade Liam Sztuska at the trade deadline last year as Zach Bowen was out gift an extended period with an injury. In regards to a potential trade for him. London always want to underpays for overages and demand a high return for theirs. I stand by my comment as I do not want to see the Petes to do anything that helps London without a decent return. Goaltenders of Liam’s caliber in the past have been traded for at minimum a 3rd and 6th and Peterborough only wanted a 3rd they might of taken a 4th.

Let’s be honest - - what difference would it have made to the Petes last year if they’d finished the season with a Jr C goalie in net?

They were God-awful with Sztuska in net so would it really matter if they’d lost every game by five goals instead of losing ever game by three goals?

Terrible asset mismanagement.

The Petes likely could have obtained a 2nd or a 3rd plus a 4th for him but that would have left them with Easton Rye as their only goaltender when Zach Bowen was out injured. They did not have enough cards to use Masen Johnston or any other goaltender they acquired as the backup. So trading him was not an option. This year there was no market for overage goaltenders this year. Missing out on 6th or
7th that London likely was offering is not a big deal.

There’s just no offence with this team they’ve scored more then 2 goals twice so far this year it’s gonna take a 50 save shutout from Bowen to get a win at this point
