Owen Sound Attack 2018 Offseason Thread

King came in last season when Friend was out quite a while with injury.
I thought he played very well as a rookie.
Plays a simple game, chips pucks out, good speed , fairly big and durable.
I think he'd start off as a bottom pairing, he has age on his side.
For a 15th Rd pick , he's more than worth a try.
The Attack were high on him when he was drafted.
He never played much this season, not sure why .
Worth noting. Mcniven with the Brampton Beasts has appeared in 3 games giving up 14 goals which is a tie for the most goals allowed by a goalie in the league currently with a 4.59 GAA (42nd overall ) and an .864 (42nd overall)save percantage with 2 regulation Losses and 1 ot loss. Not exactly the start he was looking for in the pros. Maybe theres still hope OS could get him back? Although his numbers dont seem good it also a fairly small sample size and very early in the season. But something to ponder for sure

Likely games played a 15th round pick isn't much of a return for a player. King is a very steady blue-liner hopefully he gets a better chance in North Bay to play on a consistent basis
I kinda had a feeling it was games played but im curious what it turns into should he reach x amount of games or what not.

As a longtime fan of the league I try and keep track of the deals that are made throughout the league to see what gets moved around in players and picks.
When it comes down to conditional picks unless you're getting a MacDavid type player back where points would be factored in to the kid's production with the team and en-route your success, most of the time conditional picks are used as favored typed deals when kids are either on really deep teams depth chart and not getting ice time.
In this case a 15th round pick conditional pick is more likely thrown into the deal if Lyle suits up for X number of games and usually its somewhere around 10-15 games the kid plays before the pick would change rounds in most of the time they become mid-round picks somewhere between 7-10th round selections.
Attack fans, was wondering what's the chances of palmu coming back as an O/A ?... thanx in advance
Looking at his stats in the pros overseas, legit no chance at all. Better chance we see Niv back here.

Never undertstood why he was traded over Beamish. Lots of work to get him here last year but never given an opportunity this year. Very glad to see him doing well. He's a steal for a 15th rd pick.

If there was any chance of Palmu returning this year Dale would've passed on his pick in the Import draft in June. Unfortunately Filiyayev didn't show enough to sign him to a card in training camp this past August and elected to return back to Europe.
If there was any chance of Dale bringing in a decent Import beyond Sushko in any form I believe that he would've jumped on it by now.
Can you think of any 19yr old import who may become available at dead line...maybe a 40 goal scorer...

Hard to say if there's anyone around the league that wouldn't cost a kings ransom at deadline time in the way of imports. If Dale thought he could make a deal for one I think he would've already done the deal for one by now.
Mostly I don't think Dale is interested in paying big for a quality import at this time and I don't blame him with the way the deals are being made in the league for quality players this year the price tag is huge and the team is in a position where the team can continue to climb the standings with the players we have on the club as it is right now.
The big question that would be more worrisome would be net-minding at the moment Guzda is the teams up and coming McNiven type for the future but Bowman is inconsistent in net as an OA tender unfortunately I'm not sure where the team would find an upgrade in net that wouldn't cost a big price tag

Well need a tender more then an import and team has picks far enough in the future for a quality tender hopefully for now and next year Bowman is an okay guy but he's no game changer as an OA in this league and once he's gone Guzda will have only a season under his belt in the league.

What's Gadjovich status ?
Nice win by the Attack. I thought Bowman played well. Lyle was steady, I think he was a good add by DD.
Sean Durzi. 12th round pick!
I am not sure Sherwood and Brown were worth bulking up with. Neither impressed me much in that game.
So Szypula. I love ya buddy but you have to start making something happen. You make cute passes to no one in the offensive zone all the time . Your forechecking and back check are great but we need you to provide some offense.
Dudas is Palmu v2.0. Love that kid. How fast did he get that snap shot off his stick on his 2nd.
Can't wait for Sunday and my daughters first game of the year. She's pumped

Hollywood , Durzi is a hell of a player but the Rangers D has made hundreds of players look like Bobby Orr over the last ten years. The Attack have to be considered one of the top teams in Canada with their core of returning players.
I can't understand why he wasn't kept over Beamish or Cameron.
Cameron is much slower, about 4 inches and 20 pounds smaller and has 2 more points then King in 21 more games played. What has he done to earn more ice time and a consistant shift over King?Or Beamish for that matter lol. I'm not ripping Cole either. Just think if you are a 98 born player, you better be playing and producing better than younger players.
Ah well, what's done is done I suppose.
Maybe King was the only guy they wanted on what was offered ?
Once Bourque gets healthy , we got a rock solid top five .

Nice come from behind win. That's a good character builder. Bowman looked good again. Durzi with another. Lyle with his first as an Attacker ties the game. Let's make in a weekend sweep today boys.
