Sudbury Wolves 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[Kristina Hazzard]

Just the usual low ball offers for a low character player. Nobody has increased their offers from when they were originally made

Low ball ?

 

[Voice from the North]

Low ball ?

Yes. No one is offering close to market value for Musty.

 

[Kristina Hazzard]

Yes. No one is offering close to market value for Musty.

What kind of offer ?

 

[Kristina Hazzard]

What kind of offer ?

Cause he isn’t getting a deal like Barlow lol

 

[WeThe North]

If Niagara gets him a the deadline i’d like Sudbury to get Crete 2 2nds 2 3rds and a 4th.

London, Brantford and Brampton should try getting Musty sooner.

Crete can’t be traded and I doubt your getting an 08

 

[justawolfan]

But the Ledo is gone.... and their hot dogs too.

and Mustang Sally.

No one should really. That deal was pricy and created a hole on the gens defence.

Wolves have no aspirations for a playoff run,so why not wait it out to trade deadline.An 08 would definitely be in play then.

 

[dirty12]

San Jose and agent will have found another league for Musty to play in by January.

 

[yalbmert25]

Likely no 08 because he will be traded before January. At the end of the day I want this drama over.

 

[djscooter]

Fun fact, but if the wolves finish the season without icing an American, an import or a player from another province, this will be the first time since 1975-76 they go through a season only icing Ontario born players.

 

[WE ARE WOLVES]

I wonder what reasoning the Musty team is telling other potential OHL suitors for not wanting to play in Sudbury. I can't imagine he's citing "Cultural issues on the team" as a reason for not reporting (not with so much hearsay that he was a big part of the "culture issues") . Certainly can't be lack of playing time as a reason. San Jose nor any other team would be happy with "I miss being close to home"...not with San Jose being on the opposite side of the continent. Got to expect that other teams are asking these questions and I don't think he has any way of answering them that gives teams any confidence to acquire him

Musty is better than Barlow no doubt in my mind…

 

[Wiserbud]

Musty's only argument is he wants to win an OHL championship and Mem Cup. There is no other argument for his position. If he wants to 'grow' as a player, Sudbury can do that, and address the concerns already noted by the HC of the Sharks. To me, he's running away. Not a good look. Not a team player. Not sure he will bring the value his offense delivers, if his attitude comes with.

No, Papineau won't get a Barlow deal but he shouldn't accept a Merkley style offer either. Some teams are still waiting on players so maybe there are better offers to come.

 

[dirty12]

I would go as far as saying the only better winger in the league this year is Cowan. But that does mean a team should match the Barlow return.

 

[WeThe North]

Cowan was coached by Hunter and Musty by KMack lof course Cowan is ahead today… All London superstars had to learn the PK and a 200 ft game…

Actually Musty had Duncanson, KMack, DMack and then KMack again

1/4 ain't bad. A Vondras level sv% some games.

Honest question, how many OHL GMs have kept their job through as many coaching changes as Papineau has had?

Not many I'd think.

I mean he fired Matoes, Stillman left after 3years I believe, fired Duncanson, Kmack was intermediate before Dmack who left and no Kmack stepped down.
