Ha that would likely never fly, at least not this year. Hounds are looking to make a run so I doubt they'd give up Kopacka. Is he 19?

Yes he is 19 but we still need to fill import slot we would have to give up something to get sokolov

What do you think he would fetch? I would think a boatload. If the Soo makes a move, it will likely be using picks and maybe a younger player. Doesn't make sense to move Kopacka this year since they're contenders.

I'm guessing that is why she included 'and ?'.
I would love to see the Pilons in the Hounds' lineup, in the hopes their hustle and effort are infectious for the Soo's top players. But I can see the Hounds' brass snobbily turning up their noses at their game which does not exactly revolve around puck handling and possession.

Yes, totally agree with this. Although if there was one player for whom it would be worth moving an age 19 top forward, it would be Sokolov. He would be dynamite with a center like Morgan Frost.

Well if we do end up moving him, Id rather see him go to the Hounds than pretty much anyone else. The guy is a game breaker and natural goal scorer. What do the Soo have as assets to move this year to make a move at the deadline. I'm thinking Sarnia is the main competition.

About the Sokolov to SSM rumours, they just got Sandin and there's been reports that they're getting their other import pick too closer to the middle of the season

I think in return we would need to start with Fowler and DeMeo for Sokolov. If the Pilons are added in the deal then Roth and the exchange of pics.
It would need to start there. But then again Sudbury could run the course and not deal anymore the rest of the season and maybe look to add a depth player on defence for a pick and Makkonen. As much as it sucks to talk trading Sokolov it does need to be explored.

Right but let's enjoy him for now. If and when it happens it shouldn't be t'ill the deadline, and then only to the highest bidder.
If ‘you’ are the wolves, yes. I’m guessing ‘yu’ have not seen them play and the effect they have every shift.
at every game always running around with the heads cut off and always in the box.
Frost along with Kopacka, Katchock and slightly less the past 2 games Gettinger need a kick in the pants. They’re mostly playing half-hearted. Finally the coach had to bench a few of them to get the message across.
This team doesn’t need another forward they could use another Dman. Maybe a center with some size and grit to take face offs and shut down other teams top lines.
No doubt, a Pezetta (type C) could be used by the hounds. And F just willing to get in the path of forcheckers would greatly aid some D a little shy in securing the puck.

Pilon X2
Makkonen
Pezzetta
For;
Wale
Leguerrier
Jacklin
Martin
That gives Sudbury some young defenceman to replace Blaisdell, Rhodes and O’Grady/Candella. Also gives Sudbury two young forwards, one of which who can score pretty well (Jacklin - who is also from Sudbury). All 4 players Sudbury would get are gonna grow a lot by having good playing time in this scenario.
In exchange Sudbury would give up a defenceman that isn’t with them (at home awaiting a trade) and three 19 year olds who aren’t superstars but are good.
Leaves Sudbury in a good spot to move Sokolov and some other older guys to other teams and really reap in some benefits, setting up this team to be a threat in the near future.
Thoughts?

Yes. Takes all key face offs for wolves. Checking line C vs top lines is his specialty.
You are asking a lot. Those three forwards would make up one the best checking lines & PK units in the league.
Hayton or screw off!
. Lots of inexperienced youth now, in jr A & B, and picks to spare.
