Peterborough Petes 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

Hot take: Trade Jenken, keep Matejicek

I want Cameron, Ula, Gowan and Ladds in the lineup every night. and Strohack is a likely OA down the line when the team is competitive, so trading one or the other makes decent sense to me. London fans seemed to want Jenken on their roster for depth for playoff run.

Edit - the Jenken/Allen deal probably means not London but still, test the waters.

Does Jenken even have value? He’s been mediocre this year. I doubt they deal him unless they get what they paid because that would be a bad look to deal the guy now and get less then what you paid for 5 months ago.

So you’d rather keep a guy who’s gone in 30 so games then get say a 4th and 6th or something along those lines? Bad asset management imo the petes need to stockpile as many picks as possible so when it’s their turn to go for it they have enough ammo to get the big fish

Bad asset management was trading a third for Jenkin and Bryant and picking an import pick that wouldn’t report. The Petes have two 2nds and two 3rds this coming draft. Oke needs to turn two of those picks into four picks in the future drafts. The season is a total loss obviously but do you know think having a more competitive team is going to help development?

If you can’t get a 2nd or 3rd then I don’t see trading him as a win.

Novotny will be here either after world juniors or next season and I don’t think losing Matejicek moves the needle to be more or less competitive if anything it opens up more playing time for a guy like Ula and others

Matejicek is incredibly crucial in recruiting Novotny. They can’t move him for that reason.

I can see that for sure. Should be a fairly quiet deadline then for the Petes don’t have much at all to sell

Personally wouldn’t be surprised if the Petes didn’t make one single deadline trade

I’m with you on that unless someone wants Addy lol

 

[User13452]

I think they could acquire a 05 who will be back next year that would be an upgrade on Page or Faulkner. Right now the 4 OA’s on the roster for next year would be Bowen, Jenken, Page, Faulkner. Bowen won’t be back and you could do a lot better then the other 3 imo

Same guy who said Misa was going to NCAA after this season so we’ll see

 

[Section5Petes]

And technically it's not a be all end all that he is not coming after the World Juniors this year, since he may end up coming months later for the start of next season, but it would have been nice to add him into the fold now and have a talent like his asap

 

[ExamineThis]

Zach Bowen and Nico Addy returning to the lineup tonight.
Brody Partridge appears to be the odd man out.
Petes moved to 15th in the OHL Power Rankings this week.

Would be cool if they could learn to hold a lead vs Ottawa.

Fixed that for you.

The games vs the 67s have been tight with both teams having the upper hand at different times in all games. Last night the 67s were beneficiaries of at least two questionable calls against the Petes one of which resulted in a PP goal for Ottawa. The 67s played well though and are surely missing Pinelli.

As for the Petes they continue to play strong defensively and are winning battles in both ends of the ice. Page's goal is the kind that we should be getting more often, a good result from hard work. Nice to see Bowen back , solid as usual. Not sure what happens to Johnston......Big test vs Kingston tonight before a well-deserved Xmas break,

They won but still gave up a two goal lead.
