Ottawa 67's 2018 Offseason Thread

[sirius67fan]

I'd take him. Wonder what his value is?

 

[sirius67fan]

I sure hope so! No idea what they could do for Plan B and I'd rather the team use the stockpile of picks to add high scoring forwards

According to this article from London's Ryan Pyette (seems as tapped in as anybody in the league), teams are being told that they will be allowed to draft import goaltenders.

Star prospect's hockey future likely won't include Knights

Thanks, sounds like its gonna happen.

 

[OMG67]

Sounds like Petes goalie Dylan Wells will be back for one more year of junior. I could see him moved before the start of the season... 67s would make sense.

Not sure with him. HE had a poor year last season. It was a definite drop off from the previous season. I am not sure the 67’s can afford to take a flyer on a player like that...at least not one without a solid Plan B in house.

Overage goalies aren’t usually a high return commodity. If they are good, they play pro. There are a few exceptions but generally speaking, that is the case.

Wells would probably be in that 3rd round pick range. More than what we got for Herbst but definitly less than what Kingston would have gotten for Helvig had they traded him last year.

I agree fully- this isn't the year to hope that an Overage goalie has a rebound year, especially considering that either Cranley or Andree will be the backup.

Lukas Dostal - Elite Prospects

Lukas Dostal pretty well singlehandedly eliminated Canada in the U18 playing for the Czech Republic. The team needs to add somebody like him to not only provide a stopgap this year but to make Goalie a position of strength.

Yeah just looked at his numbers, didn't realize they were not very good, although goals against and save percentage don't necessarily account for quality of shots...the petes were not very good this year. That being said if we can get a solid 18/19 y.o. in the import we keep our assets.

That's because we were awful and had an average age of 12 on our blue line. Going with a complete wildcard in a euro who's never played in the league before seems risky... Wells carried us to an ECF the year before. Just food for thought...

Going with a 20 year old who had a terrible season over an 18 year old who single handedly beat Team Canada in the U18 and who is ranked as the top available Goalie for the NHL draft seems a bit more risky...

That's saying you get him... and get him over to the OHL in the first place lol.

Very True. We do pick early so there is a decent chance we may actually snag him.

That said, there is nothing wrong with taking a flyer on Wells for a 3rd round pick. If we end up with a better solution then so be it. We can flip Wells or keep him. Either way, I’d be more comfortable with the option depending on what our OA situation ends up being. As of right now we would have an open OA spot so it does make some sense.

Heard yesterday from a source (not a huge reliable source) that if Perfetti signs here in Saginaw, Gilmour or Busdeker will be traded to 67's. Not sure for who, but as mentioned earlier in this thread, Gilmour could be going your way.

Gilmour would be a good fit as a #2 center and maybe we get an OA year. As for Busdeker we're loaded on right wing so I doubt it.

that is interesting as the rumour I heard was that Perfetti would only play for London or Oshawa

Gilmour would be a very solid two year addition. What would he cost? 1 x 2nd round & 2 x 3rd round?

 

[sirius67fan]

Sounds about right for value with likely a conditionnal 2nd or 3rd for an OA year.

The only question is will True still be here next year. With everyone talking about Euro goalies I think he will be gone.

It should be a really good couple of years and I genuinely believe that this team could win the East the next two years if we add an impact European goalie who is 17 or 18 years old.

Barron could come back as well, as he was playing in the ECHL with Colorado- maybe they'll want to see him continue to develop in Ottawa playing first line minutes.

So, something going to happen soon?

probably draft picks signed?

 

[SaginawFan]

Saginaw deal.

 

[sirius67fan]

Saginaw deal.

A guess or would you care to expand on this for us news starved fans? Gilmour??

 

[SaginawFan]

Not certain, but I have heard 67's are being discussed for a trade and players of interest are: Gilmour, Busdeker, Grondin.

 

[sirius67fan]

Okk thanks.

I see a fit for Gilmour/Grondin as we need a second line center but not Busdeker as we're loaded on right wing. What do you think Saguenaw needs/looking for ?
