Sudbury Wolves 2018 Offseason Thread

[dirty12]

But when they say indefinite for Carson is that saying he can't play in the O anymore or they just haven't made a ruling on the length?

Probably a couple of games to start next season. Similar to Pez in last year’s playoff, I’d guess

Indefinite means they have not decided on a number yet. It will be changed on the website once they decide the length.

Bonehead move by Carson. Worthy of a suspension just for embarrassing himself. It was nonsense to skate half way across the ice to fight someone who was not interested in fighting. I didn't understand the point. Maybe some things are said on the ice that were accumulating and he had enough but you need to maintain professionalism and take a number and make next October your time to prove something.

Anyway the suspension will be announced when the league decides to review it which I'm sure is at the bottom of the list of things to do since the Wolves are shinning up the golf clubs. In due time an additional 3 games on top of the 2 he served will be around the going rate for a first time aggressor fighting call on a young player. Hope Carson learns from this and picks his spots better next season. As for the Pilons I think it was more disguised and had more of a willing dance partner. His suspension is due to the fact of having too many fighting majors.

We move onward from this season now and prepare for an exciting OHL priority draft where the Wolves pick #1 and have a pick in the 2nd and 3rd round early enough that they should land some very intriguing players.

Yep, very exciting time. Look forward to reading a tweet stating Mr. Byfield has committed to the Sudbury Wolves as the number one pick in the 2018 OHL draft. Yes sir.....

 

[I Loveallsports]

WJ does this a lot better but lemme try:

How many roster spots are open for next season?

I have these two gentlemen on the bubble cracking next years lineup (perhaps released). Perhaps one or two from the backend?

Baker, Dawson
Gilhula, Owen

Byfield gets a spot, and the next two picks s well? Depending on T/C performance.

A new import?

A player from U18?

Might be more moves than we think come Sept.


Thoughts.

Sorry not me I say Mcconville and Gilhula .

Awe yes, add him to my list with the other two

Can you not get someone younger with more upside than Baker?

I find your comments very odd about Carson. If you don't know what caused the fight then maybe you should not pass judgement. Coaches need to bear some of the responsibility as clearly the green light was on where the fighting was concerned.

 

[HockeyHell]

Time for a culture change. Take Byfield and force his hand. Cant keep bowing out for a lesser player.

Agree totally. Sudbury has to take the best player. If this kid refuses to report then the OHL needs to make some serious changes or the draft is a farce.

Exactly.... when you factor McConville, Baker and Gilhula... there is certainly upside in my view with McConville & Baker which equals value.... (What happened to the 'edge' Baker had early in the season?). In my view, package all three to someone for a body or picks. Works for me.

It will certainly be a competitive camp, with three high picks, and the likes of Siau looking to burst into the line-up. I'm not up to date on what any of our other draft choices from prior years have done to possibly make the jump too. Will also be interesting with the top pick in the U18 and 3rd pick in the import .... And in my dream of dreams... Emberson and or Samuelsson report....

Interesting.

 

[Wiserbud]

What caused the fight?

I had a great view of what occurred, and I do have to say I had a "whoa" moment there. No idea what triggered it, but as they set up at the face off circle, Carson was chirping away at a couple of players, and they weren't saying a word at that point. I think they know he was more than a little pissed. The player he chose to fight had quite the look of surprise as Carson approached, initially wanting nothing to do with it, and then feeling he had no choice but to defend himself when Carson started swinging away .. in fury. Carson was pissed, so I 'think' something had set him off because you don't 'lose it' like that unless there was a trigger. I just have no idea what it was, and in the post-game Carson did seem pleased with himself and stated he gave the opposing player 'no choice'..... I liked his passion, but yeah, it should be a suspension.

McConville- my thing is yes some upside however we as fans are looking upgrades in area's. Speed,skill etc. What line would he play on. Forth, again?

He has to fight for a job, tough position for him and a few others. There will be some unhappy kids at the end of camp next season.

Good post.

I wonder if it had anything to do with contact to the linesman?

I like Baker's game, remember this was his rookie season, I feel he will only get better, next season will be true test. He plays a two way game, can play on PK, Shutdown guy, and chip in offensively.

Fair enough. So he's 19 this year? Where do you play him?

 

[cub]

He's a 2000 birth, he is also right handed, he can play on right wing or centre. You need players like him on a team.

Both Sudbury and Flint should have some good additions. If I am not mistaken, Sudbury should have:

Round 1.....(1st pick overall)
Round 2.....(29th pick overall)
Round 3.....(46th pick overall)
---Plus your other picks
---Import Draft.....(3rd overall pick)

Flint should get the 2nd overall, 22nd, and 45th overall picks in the first three rounds and the 6th overall Import pick. Should be great competion over the summer and fall for both of us.

You'd play him on the 3rd line?

 

[Northey]

I also like Bakers game especially when he plays on the edge.

 

[cub]

You'd play him on the 3rd line?

i play him where ever he fits in, I think 3rd line would be projected.

 

[HockeyHell]

What caused the fight?

That is my point. To say something is a bonehead move when we don't know what prompted it is a little harsh. I think he deserves a suspension as did Pilon and Serentsis.

So what would your line up be?

Any chance Ethan Lavallee cracks your lineup next season?
