London Knights 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 2)

[superdee]

You hate to give up on a first round pick but both tests and Lloyd need a chance to play to develop. I think Luca was afraid to make a mistake and was tentative. Poor Lloyd was stuck in a numbers game. Good luck moving forward to both of them and welcome to Mr Humphrey and Winterton. Experience they bring should be a shot in the atm to the younger group.

I think the Diaco trade set the table for this move. Just had to wait for the window to trade 1st rounders.

This one has been a done deal for a while

 

[Harley49]

First reaction… not impressed with the players coming our way …Winterton injury prone…. Humphrey only 5 goals …. but after some research both players should thrive in London … welcome boys … Testa was our first round pick and I was overjoyed that we got him …. he went through the first half of the season only playing 15 games … rookie in London normal …. Lloyd from the limited games he played with the Knights I thought he didn’t look out of place …. but as others have said we have to give up something to improve….. Luca and Carson will improve with the Bulldogs… Good Luck Boys !!

 

[LDN]

I think this trade is a win for the players involved. Testa and Lloyd will hopefully go to Hamilton and thrive. That’s what this league is all about and I wish them the absolute best. To the Ryan’s. Let’s get to work and WIN

 

[Harley49]

Hopefully the Knights can fill the import vacancy without giving up too much ……

That’s very true! Who is available?

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

If they fill the spot they would forfeit the rights to Halttunen…. Not a good move

I agree. I Highly doubt filling this spot is of any interest to them at this point unless they are getting a 1st pairing D man or a 50 goal scorer. Which is not out there.

 

[Harley49]

My mistake…. I was thinking Abakar was a import ….. he wasn’t…..

 

[LDN]

MINTYUKOV!?

Mintyukov?

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Saginaw is not selling and he would cost more than Wright… good chance he returns next year

 

[LDN]

Zhilkin to Kitchener so he is off the table. Is Mississauga selling? If so they have a few guys who would look great in Knights uniforms. I still think Harrison would be great?

Any word on suspension to Edward?

Any word on Humphries being in the lineup tonight? I’m assuming Winterton is out, but close to making his debut?

Is Federkow injured? What about Mackinnon?

He won't return next year, he's drafted and look at the numbers he's putting up. If London got Minty they'd be the #1 favourite no matter where Wright ends up. Unlike Wright, Mintyukov is an import which impacts trade value. Based on what Zhilkin just went for I'm terrified to see the return for Wright.

Wright won’t be worth the return IMO. It’s easily gonna be an 06 1st and a boatload of picks

Hearing a team has outbid London for Harrison and they are no longer the leading team.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

If that is the case Lombardi from Flint or over pay for Goyette in SBY as he is a 2004

Sorry. We would like to retain Goyette. He kind of keeps fans coming back to the arena to watch a scuffling team

Thank god

 

[LDN]

Thank god

Why?

 

[rve24]

And seemingly the price for deadline deals has returned to the pre covid crazy madness around the league

 

[Rubbers29]

Why?

I’d say lack of room for one

 

[dino200022]

AS nice as Minty would be...The cost to get him for a single playoff run will be a giant Mortgage to the future, providing we even have that many 2nd and 3rd round picks in the next 7 or 8 years to dispose of.

Only thing I see them doing at this point is maybe bringing in a Big D man to play on the bottom pair that is willing to their his weight around and will come relatively cheap. Other than ship out Delmonte to recoup some picks. .

Del Monte will not get you anything now with his injury and with his past injury. Not looking to be available for a while so no team is going to pick up a player just injured at WJC

 

[TheCoach]

I wouldn't close the door on Harrison just yet
