This was something I read on the Ice Dogs forum.......
Langdon and Lochleed left the Dogs for Western now we need two over agers I heard rumblings of Timms from the Petes now that it looks he might comeback to the O
If the Petes do trade Timms to Niagara (closer to home for him and a team that should contend this season), I hope they have conditions attached to it.
Here are some recent August trades of OA Dmen and what the return was for them:
August 2015, Windsor traded Graeme Brown to Kingston as an OA for a 4th round pick.
August 2016, Guelph traded CJ Garcia to Saginaw as an OA for a 3rd, 2nd and 4th round pick.
August 2017, North Bay traded Zach Shankar to Niagara as an OA for the Ice Dogs a 5th round pick.
Timms is a different style of defenseman than the other three and Oke is definitely not dealing from a position of power, given the rough season he had last year.
Here are the "Jekell and Hyde" seasons of Matt Timms
16/17
68 GP 63 pts + 6
17/18
46 GP 35 pts - 28
I have to assume that the Petes could get a 4th or 5th round pick that would improve with certain conditions being met. It is possible that Timms comes back healthy and strong in September and has a season more like 16/17.
Maybe...
Timms to the Ice Dogs for their 2021 4th round pick that becomes
- the 2021 3rd round pick if Timms scores between 50 and 59 points OR
- the 2021 Petes' 2nd round pick is returned if Timms scores 60 points or more
Any opinions?
