SSM Greyhounds 2023-2024 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

Well I hope Cali is not defective! Defected maybe? And if you declare him defected he can only be moved in the training camp window and only for picks.

You guys are wild if you think Raftis is gonna let him go now.

He’s gonna hold him and we are not getting two first round picks.

thanks for the insight.

picks sound great lol! is there a precedent for what kind of return a non-reporting 1st rounder would get (not including the 2025 1st if he was declared defected)?

Would it be something like a later round pick with a conditional pick(s) if he ever reports?

@OHL4Life, any insight to offer?

What was the Sam Dickinson deal?

This is what London paid for Sam Dickinson( plus the extra first )

thanks for the info O.O.

Look at michael hage trade as a comparison

London gave up more because they knew he was coming. if he’s not coming it’ll look like hage

what would be the strategy behind holding onto him and getting nothing?

I was thinking ahead and was going to write trade their comp pick at the deadline

I don't think you can trade a comp pick.

Follow his trend.
He will wait and see if he can get him to flip.

There’s no benefit other than possible having him here in the future. I wanted him traded yesterday.

Fair enough. He's held out on guys like McGroarty but that also wasnt a first round pick that he could salvage a 1st and possible picks (and save a little face).

Tim Lukenda HAS to have some concerns atm and I remain hopeful that something has got to give.

The status quo can't be an option right?

THE STATUS QUO CAN'T BE AN OPTION.... RIIIIIIGHT???

I read it as "make the comp pick, get him to report, then trade him at the deadline"

Exactly Pops.

 

[ohloutsider]

Well that makes more sense but I would question why you would want a comp pick only to trade them? Do you see next year as a go year that would make a need to trade a high pick?

 

[HockeyPops]

I think the hope is that we still find a way to compete with Martin and Hayes.

[DWI Dale]

are there any contenders with an open import slot this season?

 

[Kristina Hazzard]

another frasca would look nice

 

[Savard18]

are there any contenders with an open import slot this season?

There may be others and there may be others that are a better fit/trading partners but It looks like Flint will be moving Bertucci and as of now have not signed their 1st round Import D selection.

I’ve heard that Owen Allard would rather start the year with a new team.

Unsure if the Soo can facilitate the move he’s asked for at this time.

Does anyone have any intel on the jersey change?

The fact that the video seems to hint at the regular jerseys being included and the slogan printed on the tickets this season is #BackInBlack, leads me to think it may be the home/away set…

It’s a new third but it’s going to be the new permanent third colorway. All black. Black pants, helmet, gloves. They will be doing ( other teams too ) black out games.
