London Knights 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 5)

[tjziel]

Next year is probably a reload year (but with the number of returnees on defence, they could conceivably compete again). 2024/2025 with 19yo Bowen, Barkey, Cowan, and Bonk, 18yo Dickinson, Hagens, O'Rielly, and Nicholl--with a draft year Moore could be a juggernaut.

Exactly what I was thinking. 2025 is our year we are going for it.

What picks do we have today?

 

[Fastpace]

William Moore

I was hoping for big Jack Nesbitt, but they got an even higher ranking big power farward in William Moore. That's even better, he'll need to fill in a bit to be more effective with his size. Good pick. Nesbitt went to Windsor two picks later

Buyout was $50,000 like 10 years ago - don’t know how much it has changed since.

don't be surprised if they go for Lev Katzin too...

 

[dmead]

So I am happily wrong about Moore. Now if Mark can get him to report...

I remember the 50k as well years back.

 

[Matt93]

Medvedev, Alexei drafted in the 2nd round

 

[rve24]

Little surprised but why not lol.

Always takes 2 years to figure out what ya got in total.

Medvedev is was my second favourite goalie in this draft after Ivankovic who was far and away in a tier of his own.

Singlehandedly won games for Vaughn this year. Kid was amazing at the OHL cup. Should be a good one.

 

[Slowpace]

Does anyone know how much it is to back out of your USNDTP commitment??

Did he actually commit or just attend their invitational camp in March?

 

[Matt93]

Did he actually commit or just attend their invitational camp in March?

In the article someone posted, he didn't attend the camp but was given a spot on the team. I don't think he's committed yet.

 

[Fastpace]

Looking at Moore stats, he has to be one of the most nicest disciplined power forward the league have ever seen. Only 8 minutes in the sin box , 8mi. in 30 games last season and 8mi. in 56 games the previous season but he was at +68 in the plus/minus column, his power is in his skill set

LK drafted player is head n shoulders above Sarnias pick. "At this point"
Gotta sign thou and we all know development isn't equal or linear.

I'll get more insight tomorrow from a couple others but a few people who post here n are in the loop......question skating and that's a flag. BUT....But Bo had issues, busted his azz n improved.
Ya never know but I love the risk.

It's all still a bit of a crap shoot inspite of all the info available to teams.

 

[Fastpace]

The Kitchener Rangers are going smaller, I guess they've decided to go for speed to catch up to those damn London Knights !!!

 

[Slowpace]

In the article someone posted, he didn't attend the camp but was given a spot on the team. I don't think he's committed yet.

Looks like he has signed according to this. Mark will get his cheque book out!

 

[Fastpace]

Lane Sim to Sarnia

[Fastpace]

At 5' 11" 180lb Blake Arrowsmith with 118 minute of sin box time could be the most readied player to make the team

Looks like P.J. Fagan will as well at 205 lb with 83 penalty in only 30 games (ouch!)
