Has to be. Flint stuck in the middle it seems like most years. Afraid to go all in and afraid to completely tear it downMust be something in the water
I can see the Giroux trade...give him a chance to be on a winning team this year.Some head scratching moves from Flint so far.
They committed to selling once they moved Hayes and Kressler. If they were gonna buy it would have made sense to acquire guys who are gonna be there after this season.I can see the Giroux trade...give him a chance to be on a winning team this year.
I just don't see giving up 7 picks (2-2nds, 3-3rd, 4th, 11th) for Peer and Mancini.
Not be stupidFlint pulling trades to upset London, now what does London do ?
Zito!
That he isn't going to report to Windsor?Notice they are conditional picks. My understanding is he won’t go.
That deal sets the minimum price for Melee imoAbsolutely love the Missy trade of Veccia! Such a smart move. Missy is not making a run this year so they take a player that they would likely keep as an OA but not necessarily one that moves the needle for them, trade him at a high value 19 eyar old. Then they will flip those picks next year for a bette rOA than Veccia! Brilliant.
The AttackOf course not but there has always been that underlying pressure to ensure the marquis players for the league aren’t wasting away on bottomfeeders.
Sell everyone except for the highest value player to gain a development fee? Maybe if the franchise values ticket sales and needs the development fee to keep the lights on. But, if they are one of those franchises, they aren’t hosting a Memorial Cup and surly aren’t’ participating in the heavy buy/heavy sell program. Those teams need consistent revenue.
Barrie and Oshawa swap OAs
Oshawa Recieves:
Punnett
Barrie Recieves:
Stewart
3rd round pick
6th round pick
irrelevant question as OA deadline passed an hour agoWho available in overage defensemen?
Great deal for Oshawa, though Stewart was well liked with the locker room and fan base and will be missed.I don;’t understand that one in the slightest. Is that the best value OA acquisition this year?
I'm going to write something that won't make sense to many of you.
The trade 'game ' hasn't been reigned in by restrictions on years ahead picks van be traded .
These crazy deals have only devalued picks .
Today I haven't seen any players moved that are any better than what the Attack has .
Degray will not get into those deals.
He either makes his moves before the season , or is fairly conservative.
I expect if HD foes anything more, it'll be at 11am tomorrow when some GM is itchy to make one more deal, and it'll be swapping a couple guys looking fir a change if scenery.
Take a look around the league, who is NOT on the crazy train this week ?
Owen Sound -Degray
Guelph - Burnett
Erie- Brown/Butler
London - Hunters .
All senior league execs.
Degray learned from Butler and Kilrea . Still does . Best buddies
Is Topp still happening or was it between him and the kid they got from flint?Hearing Xhekaj to Sudbury
Rowan Topp to Petes for picks, and Melee likely staying put.
