Sudbury Wolves 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[Wolfman Jack]

WTF do you want? A 7th and 8th pick. obviously you haven’t been paying much attention, it’s a sellers market and if true the kid will play his OA year in the O

Exactly you are paying for an overage year at the same time. So its decent value if that's the case. In addition the kid plays a robust game which will be important come playoffs. When you look at the defence returning next year. Blonda, O'Dell, Jackson (unless dealt), Smith, Wreggitt, Bruce (unless dealt), Ewles (OA or trade for pics), possibly Kearns if he signs. And if we acquire Mews. We have to do something folks and its a decent start.

I want smart trades, not trading for the guy who leads the OHL in penalty minutes. Per the Brantford trhead, he's a third pairing d-man who takes dumb penalties but plays with heart. Does this guy move the needle on this rosters potential? This is my problem with these trades, the current roster has a good shot to go to the 2nd round, but is a fair ways behind Barrie and Oshawa. Even adding Roberts, Mews, McCue I don't think changes that potential that much, does it?

The rumored Mews trade combined with the other rumors of him going off to University of Michigan next year are a bit worrisome as well.

If Mews does decide to go NCAA next season I'm sure due diligence is done and that conditions are put on those pics. If we are privy to this as a possibility I'm sure management is too.

If the wolves do anything today they have to add on on that backend. Need a good defensive defensemen. Too many teams comfortable in front of that net for my liking

Plus, I think the kid wore a letter so he can’t be that bad. Also, not giving up a young player will cost extra picks.

T-Minus 2 hours till the deadline hits. Come on Wolves... Do something..

 

[Between The Goalpost]

There it is

 

[djscooter]

There it is

Maybe they can atleast get his dad to come join the training staff as part of the deal

 

[I Loveallsports]

There it is

That's the kind of pick-up I was looking for. Let's hope he brings more to the table than the deal made with Bulldogs last season. Bulldogs have gotten a ton of second round pics from the wolves in the past two years. Yikes.

 

[ScoutLife4]

Maybe you are not getting Mews after all and settled for Roberts? Guess we will know for sure shortly!

 

[User13452]

Hefty price to pay for a third pairing d man yikes doesn’t move the needle at all

Still have 5x 2nds and 3x 3rds plus Jackson, Chitironi and O'Dell

 

[Between The Goalpost]

I think I'm pretty happy with this trade.



I hope we go after Mews too.

For what it's worth he'll be a 2nd pairing guy on the wolves.

And Blonda...

Even worse

 

[WolvesFan]

And Blonda...

I think not, haha!

 

[cub]

lots of picks for Noah Roberts, sellers market for sure.

Very true but we knew that going into the deadline.

 

[cub]

I guess if were pursuing Mews were paying alot more.

 

[howlman]

Brantford loves dealing with Papineau.

Let's hope Roberts can come in and help the D

I guess if were pursuing Mews were paying alot more.

The price will be insane

 

[djscooter]

I don't usually consider him too reliable, but interesting
