Sudbury Wolves 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 3)

[Wolf on a Wire]

Mayer would be an upgrade on Toure and not too expensive compared to the others on your list. Dubois is big and is probably an upgrade on McCallum and can play on the wing. Get Beck involved in a bigger deal and the Wolves have almost everything they need. The fact all of these guys have won before would be a big boost to the room where very few have made it past round one.

I also want to add Donavan, WiFi and perhaps shock the OHL world for Barlow. Barlow’s leadership is exactly what this team needs….if he is healthy that is..

My wish list is

Sova, Buchinger, Nelson,Smith

Roobroeck, Guindon, Jelsma, Lavoie and Poitras if he comes down after WJC.

Biggest get is a real number 1 goalie.

Pretty sur we stick with our 3 OA’s

I don't think Poitras can go back to OHL, he played over the 9 game limit, Boston needs to keep on the team for rest of the year.

He can play past the 9 games limit. Boston just has to eat the first year of his contract. Once Boston has played 40 games then he can no longer return.

thanks for clarification

Here is more info on both the 9 game threshold and the 39 game threshold;

McKenzie: 10-game threshold holds different meaning for different teams - TSN.ca

If we're almost three weeks into the NHL regular season, it must be time to play "which underage junior(s) will be sent back before playing his 10th game." As TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie writes, each situation is unique, depending upon the individual team/player circumstance.

Don’t blame some of you for casting a wide net of stars, Petes fans were doing that last year as well (with Beck, Wright, Morrison, Hayes, Kyrou, Mintyukov etc) but I just feel like Beck and Mayer are such a natural fit for the Wolves. lots of good options that fit this team of course but you can’t overlook the championship experience for this wolves team

 

[bobber]

If Poitras is sent back to the Storm and that's a big if apparently why would they trade him in the first place? When they get every player back from injury and healthy they contend for the OHL championship. Just saying.

WeThe North laid out a wishlist at this most wishful time of the year. There should be no restrictions on a wishlist. Wish away!

 

[I Loveallsports]

My wish list is "do whatever you have to do, just get it done".

 

[billoink]

My wish list is Paps to make the right moves and not sit on the fence jeopardizing both this year and next.

 

[Between The Goalpost]

My wish list: A goalie who can break 0.900 consistently

You would think if they were to go after a goalie they would of went after a top one 1st. Not a stop gap which they picked up recently.

No mention of Villeneuve being a surprising omission.

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

I hope Villy uses this as motivation to prove everyone wrong…

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

My wish list: Find a Western team we can trade with to create a win/win situation. Find a home for an extra goalie. Empty our cupboard.

Can't believe its been almost 17 years since Matt Dias goal in triple o/t. Where has the time went. Wow .

Never gets old.

Never gets old.

Watching this always gives me the chills. I remember standing 3 rows deeps behind section 19. Played the Plymouth Whalers in the final and had the whole "Smash a Plymouth" outside the game before their next home game. Man that was exciting times!

 

[TheRailBird2]

My wish list is simple: The Wolves earning a berth in the Memorial Cup

 

[jamo27]

I want to eat crow, when Ken coaches us to an OHL championship.

It would be the best tasting crow you've ever had!

 

[billoink]

Give him the right acquisitions and it is very possible Paps has to prove his worth

It was 17 years since the last Petes championship in 2023. It’s time Wolves fans…

Ok.
I wish to be able to attend all seven games of a wolves-battalion conference final; then, see the winner sweep the Soo

 

[I Loveallsports]

I'm wondering if vondras has made his team. Or was it a given.
