London paid real well for Cam Allan, but i think they stole their goalie from the West !
Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

Yes they got their goalie from Barrie who claimed him on waivers for a draft pick.
Moving injured Outwater is a courtesy move. He's out for the year and Bowler likely agrees he will not be a OA here next year. Injured player with history of repeat injuries has little value in the trade department. More like I'll give you my headache for 1 of yours. Outwater much closer to home (ottawa) in say Kingston .

Likely a "I'll report to London " Barrie had earlier waiver pick than London so Hunter Likely said pick him up and I'll reward you with a draft pick. Yes, smart move by Hunter.
I think that's how it went down.
Pick him up and we'll take him as opposed to picking him up and looking for a suitor.
They need to have another deal lined up to move out an OA though.
Rumblings that BB is playing poker being smart and using the desired player(s) who are playing with their hand with their Gms with the Spits as a preferred destination.

I've said all along that if they're going after Konnor (or most other OAs), I would imagine Abraham is the odd-man out. Just because a deal is made for Konnor at the 11th hour doesn't mean another isn't on the way out, too. Heck, Bowler made so many moves last season we could barely keep up.
Sorry, I'm not following what this means... ?!
If Bowler is getting McNamara it could be a sign he is playing it safe this season. The prices get more and more absurd every year. They have the division won already so he might be conservative.
If the Spellacy rumours are true (not saying they are, I have no clue), then he could probably make something work to get one of the expensive d -man in a trade. Seems quiet out there. If a player is only willing to waive his NTC for Windsor, the price could drop.

If player A says if you want to trade me, I want to go to Windsor, the price can lower. Well some still dislike the Wright deal. It was last hour and we got him cheaper than most big trades that year. We paid 11 picks for Holmes and Harrison 4 2nds 4 3rds plus
Deal were questionable.
Wasn't what Windsor needed.

Makes sense, I appreciate it! I'm probably one of the few that disliked the Harrison deal more than the Wright one, at least looking back on them both.
Agree 100% Wright, was good for us, we just never got past round 1. Wasn't his fault. Onuska and rookie at the Joey were not good. A GAA over 4 will not win playoff hockey. Defensive structure under Savard was not goid either to help the goalies.

It won't be Konnor Smith he's off to Brampton for a lot of picks.

No, he did not fit the window so best to use the picks for a player that will help this year AND next year.
Getting Mathurin for a 2,4 and 6, now looks like robbery.
Evaluate your roster, identify needs early n fill the gaps pre or early season seems to be the way to get better value in deals
