SSM Greyhounds 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

If Musty isn’t traded the Wolves might be in the conversation for Gibson at least

Sudbury isn't on Gibson's list according to the info an OHL GM gave me.

If Allard doesn't play the next few games I don't think he will even get moved. Hasn't played enough hockey this fall.

I also believe Schenkel and Gibson go together, but this won't happen until Jan 9th/10th.

I believe OA deadline is the 9th, so that would be the latest that package could happen.

I've wondered about Allard myself. He has been struggling to stay "healthy" since he was back in Utah. Hopefully it's something minor and we can give him a shot at a cup (while hoarding some valuable assets).

re: Ryder Cali

The return we got for Ryder Cali is pretty poor imo.

It's been a while since we had a player to boo every time he touches the puck, maybe Ryder will be that guy? Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with a player doing what he feels is best for him. But I also have no issue with booing him out of the building the next few seasons!

The guy that used to do the music used to play a recording of a baby crying. So funny. I'm in the same boat. Good for him, but boo him everytime he touches the puck hahaha

The return for Cali is better than the conditionals for Adam Valentini, who was selected 5 picks earlier. To complain about the return would show a pretty obvious bias and lack of objectivity.

The return generally it is what is for a particular pick. The GM is going to have very little influence.

Why boo Cali? The Masterson lawsuit was filed in August. Cali wasn't traded until mid September. They had a decent period of time where they knew the rules would be changing. They just had to wait. Cali would have suited up for the Hounds.

i'm not sure he would have.

but it isn't the first time the Soo has been snubbed, and won't be the last either lol.

From what I've heard through the rumour mill Cali had a late change of heart and it left the hounds feeling deceived and angry, hence the decision to move on quickly from him.

Also, booing people is fun.

I recall that there was talk of the mother getting "cold feet" during development camp, lots heard her complaining of how far the Soo was.

Now they can complain for four years that there is nothing to do in North Bay I guess?

I think pieces of this story were left out to make one party sound like they did nothing and were blindsided.

They made the trip to the Soo for development camp no problem. The real question is what happened in that duration that Cali, family and agent just ghosted Raftis?
