Sudbury Wolves 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[agillarda]

I will chime in here based on the rumor of a possible Goyette return. And if so here is what I would do with my GM hat on.

-Goyette returns as an OA. Wolves keep Musty
-Wolves deal McCoy and a 3rd, 5th, to Erie for Challenger
-Wolves deal Chitaroni and Digitomasso along with a 3rd and 7th for Guo, Chernyshov
-Wolves then deal Jackson to Owen Sound for Petrovski.

Wolves line up after deadline,

Walton Delic Pharand
Musty Goyette Chernyshov(San Jose draft pick)
Molnar Villeneuve Challenger
Henderson Clayton Coughlan
Dean Street

DeAngelios Ewles
Petrovski Guo
O'Dell Blonda
Bruce

I still think we would be a little weak on the RD but thoughts???

Erie would have to move an OA they are already at the cap to accommodate, team would likely want Chitironi and Blonda not Digi. If you are trying to buy this year you need to go all in and get more than that. If you are dealing picks and our prospects you need to put the team in a position to take out Oshawa, Barrie, Brampton, Niagara, Brantford and Kingston.

I like your trades. I’d be literally shocked if Goyette was to return, it’s hard to leave pro hockey.
I cannot remember a time when our OAs were this talented and strong. I get it’s hard to trade OAs at this time of year but I can’t imagine that there is no demand for each of them.
Which brings me to my next point, if we get no offers for our OAs and Musty I feel we have no choice but to add. Our biggest need would be to add depth to our D and find a couple of bottom 6 grinder forwards. Maybe a little goalie depth if that opportunity exists.
I feel Sarnia, Flint, Saginaw, North Bay, SSM, Ottawa, OS, Guelph and Pete’s could use some picks and younger players to help us out..but build out the D first.
Wolfman: What would you do with no Goyette and the aforementioned teams as trade partners?

Petrovski can play the right side as a left shot D. He's done it this year and last year as well.

I was wishing you wouldn't ask but the way I see it the Wolves would be better to add this year and sell off Walton and Villy next year IMO.

I just don't think they would be deep enough next year to be in contention. However a big return for Musty, McCoy and possibly DeAngelios could catapult this team into contention next year with some solid 18 year old's and additional picks. Add in our two imports a solid OA pick up or two, a solid first rounder then its possible next year we contend. But it will be based on what we get in a Musty, McCoy deal.

I'm surprised at the amount of people suggesting that Musty is likely to stay put with the Wolves. Unless there is some inside info that I don't know of.

Musty sat out as long as he could awaiting a deal, was stripped of his letter, and seemingly has a poor relationship to the hockey club as a result of what transpired in September. Considering all that has happened, I don't see him changing his mind and wanting to stay - even if the team were to contend. Playing with Goyette is the only possible way I see him even considering staying - if rumours are true.

I feel like so many times, when people post here that they heard a "rumor". Its literally them just repeating soemones elses post saying "What if X happened"
