Peterborough Petes 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[NorthernVoice]

Edit: PS: they can't bring Kaiser back, can they? He's a liability. I think it would be wise to move on from Strohack as well. His act has gotten old.

They definitely shouldn't. Cameron, Ula, Gowan, Ladds is a good start, build around them with other guys who play hockey, not sideshow clowns (Matejicek is good too, I just don't see him back as an OA).

I don't get why Bowen still seems to be #1 in the rotation either, Rye has been better by any metric and Bowen hasn't really progressed at all. He has basically identical stats (3.79 GAA, .896 save %) as he did last year and a 7-22 record.

Rye meanwhile is younger and has 3.44/.907/9-14

Yep. Throw in Bryant and Stonehouse as well (fine players but they could have finished last overall with any combination of Sztuska, Melee, Lefebvre, McIntyre) and they've really wasted a ton of assets this last calendar year with basically nothing show for it.

I understand the mindset of bringing in veteran guys but to give up picks like that as a last place team in the league is bad assets management. None of the other bottom teams in the ohl moved around overagers for picks like the petes did and I can’t remember a time before where bottom teams have done it if anything they sell off their OA’s

I'd add Taylor to that list.
