7-10

If we finish 8th I think that's a win, give the young guys some first round playoff experience and have a stellar 23/24 season

 

[HockeyPops]

I think a successful year would be to avoid losing 9-3 to Saginaw. Again.

 

[Houndzfan20]

Care to Hazzard a guess as to where the Hounds finish the season?

i see what you did there. good on you mate.

I think Erie will be below Soo and Soo should be in a battle for 8th spot with Saginaw.

i'm going to go on a limb and say i don't want us to make the playoffs.

given the organizations proclivity for "standing pat" with mediocre teams i'd be happier to see us sell at the deadline to stock the cupboards for some big splashes, tank in the 2nd half, and draft high next year.

 

[HockeyPops]

Sounds great! Who are we selling? Not much of value IMO.

McConnell Barker is about the only one that would bring in anything valuable...not even worth while trading him IMO, nothing against him personally but he'll be good this year but even better next year and next year is when we'll need a guy like him

 

[HockeyPops]

I thought maybe either Tynan or Ivanov might have brought something in this year but it seems they might have kakked that up.

 

[DWI Dale]

i was thinking more like savard, watson,

Sounds great! Who are we selling? Not much of value IMO.

sort of illustrates the kind of issues I predicted the last 3 years ago though don't it? mediocre teams? inabilility to keep up in the arms races at the deadline?

Watson and Savard are the 2 that immediately come to mind as trade bait... possibly Thompson if he has a good year.

None will reap the kind of return we could have gotten from a guy like Frosty, Hayton, O'Rourke or Kerins but any return of 2nd's and 3rd's we can get would be nice so that when we make a run we can acquire the best players available.

 

[HockeyPops]

Thinking a player like Savard is going to be a good OA for us next year. If we are trading him, we might as well trade McConnell-Barker and all the other good '04s too because it means we are not trying to win next year.

 

[LDN]

How hard would it be to pry Bryce McConnell-Barker from you guys?

 

[HockeyPops]

I think impossible. Our management has loaded up on the 04 age group. I can't see them selling him and retooling for a later window. As much as some of us wish they would.

 

[HockeyPops]

Meant to post this here: Tanner Dickinson not playing in the Traverse City Tournament for St. Louis.

as HP suggested, we seem poised to compete as soon as next season so it's unlikely.

if Raftis FINALLY made a trade to recoup picks but it was an 18 year old guy going out there would be a mutiny. some of us would be camped outside GFL demanding he be fired hahaha

Barkey and bonk

Barkey and bonk

Bahaha

 

[LDN]

Barkey and bonk

Would hurt us this season and in the future lol

 

[DeletedAccountt]

Don't see Bryce going anywhere

 

[HockeyPops]

The proper time to trade bryce is in 16 months when it becomes obvious we can't contend.

Hopefully he gets traded to a good team that I can actually pull for. It hurts to see a Hounds star in that crappy organisation.

Your favorite Greyhound was Fischaber. I'm sure you have horrible taste in teams too.

Flames are an excellent organization

Well certainly good enough to not pull for the Flames. I won his jersey in the draw, he's not my favourite player.
