SSM Greyhounds 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[Fischhaber]

Hard not to view this as a failure by Raftis. Unless he has another destination already arranged for the trade deadline.

It's a real stretch to consider this any kind of failure. This sets a nice market for Nordh, as he is a better player than Alriksson. Plenty of teams have room for an import.

Erie: Misiak is having a rough year and could also open up an OA spot.

Kitchener: Has an open spot

Niagara: Has an open spot

Oshawa: I'm sure they would deal David Svozil if it meant getting Nordh.

Windsor: Would certainly give up Josef Eichler if it meant getting Nordh.

There's other teams too that may be surprise buyers.

If we get less than 2,3,3 for Nordh or don't deal him at all then there was a failure, but the notion that this trade represents any failure on our part is utterly ridiculous.

It’s hard for me to think Allard and Nordh get split up….

I think you and I are on the same wave-length.

I'm just speculating, but feel like we could see them moved together with strong lobbying from Utah. That will also depend on Allard's health, the guy can't seem to catch a break!

If true:

Erie for Misiak makes a ton of sense. He's taking up 2 slots as an OA import.

Oshawa for Svozil and D'Amato also makes sense. You can maybe get Brady Smith for them if Gibson goes elsewhere.

The east is pretty tight, but wolves are down in 5th. Are they going to be looking to add?

Misiak has 20 points in 21 games including 8 in his last 6. Wouldn’t call that a rough year.

If he’s even hurt..

I was thinking more the other side of the game. A friend who works in media there tells me that he's been demoted to the bottom 6 and actually benched mid-game a couple of times due to defensive miscues and lack of effort.

If that's the case, I think you need more of an impact from a guy taking up 2 slots. I know the part about the demotion and benching is true, but maybe an Erie fan can chime in on his defensive play.

package allard and nordh..

fills two spots rather that the one.

Frasca as 3rd line centre did not work for Butler. Misiak is a strong reliable centre.

 

[Fischhaber]

Interesting scenario if Erie were to trade for both. They don't have many picks, but do have Tyler Challenger. It's probably the only scenario in which they could add multiple high end players.

It would give them an outrageously good top 6 forwards, a defense anchored by Schaefer, and a good goaltender. They might be prioritizing more defense, however.

Frasca at centre did not work for Butler. Misiak is a strong reliable centre.

I definitely think they have to try something else with Frasca. Really thought he could take off in top 6 this year. Boy was I wrong

Frasca is playing RW; that is different Butler just could not hold back Spence any longer playing him L3 with Frasca. Frasca just isn’t a top 3 LW or C in Erie now that Hughes is on the team.

Something else as in maybe including him for a big fish like musty and frasca gets another change in scenery lol. Guy isn’t exactly taking off in Erie and after sending that big package for him gotta think Erie isn’t too pleased
