Come on now, you Ottawa fans are not being realistic. I said it’s highly unlikely that Graeme Clarke would be traded based on pedigree, potential, draft status in addition to his being a hometown kid. But Yule and Peric are exactly the type of players that get traded when contenders bolster their lineups. I’m not saying they’re going to be traded, but unless your GM says that they are categorically off the table, I think that there is every reason to believe that those 2 guys will be brought up in trade discussions.
In spite of their record, the 67’s are an imperfect team. The PP is in the bottom third of the league at 19% and the PK is middle of the road, functioning at <80%. Cedric Andree has played reasonably well, but most would consider the 67’s goaltending questionable and trailing the pack when compared to other “contenders”. Right now I think they would get smoked by the Knights in a playoff series and I’m not sure I’d pick them over Oshawa or Niagara either.
