Barrie Colts 2018-19 Season Thread

[Voice from the North]

I feel bad for you. This isn’t quite a Burgess situation but these situations cause long term damage.

 

[mouse 29]

Rumor has it that there are a number of players requesting trades this off season so they could be a drastically different looking team next fall.

what is your source?? or are you just stirring the pot??

 

[INTENTIONALLYOFFSIDE]

Sources within the team. Not trying to start anything, just a couple players weren't happy with how it all played out this year. Preferential ice time for certain player, blind eye on some antics by certain players and some trades that are gonna back fire on Barrie. Made their run and now it's time to jump ship.

Curious on everyone’s thoughts on maybe moving on from Hawerchuk as coach. No doubt he is good at developing, but I feel like every year come playoff time they hit a wall and get out coached. Also the situation with Ben. Completely obvious that Magwood, Murray and Chiodo should be the OA’s and we will likely lose one of them because of this situation.

The colts can have four OA until trade deadline if they choose to wait and see how good the team is. who is best for the team, and who brings back the greatest return in a trade.

They could but which one of the three would want to be the healthy scratch behind an obviously inferior player. I completely understand why the forwards would want out. If there are going to make a trade it would have to be before the season started.

Would it surprise you if young Hawerchuk went off to University this September?

 

[JetsColts13]

Would be Slightly surprised and am hopeful that happens. Would be the best for everyone.

 

[rubberbaron]

I think part of entrance requirements are knowing how to spell University

These situations reflect poorly on the team, on Management and the league in general. Unfortunately the young man should never have been in the league in the first place.
No doubt that coach Hawerchuck is arguably one of (if not) the best offencsive coachs in the league, and certainly can develope specific talent. However IMO i agree with you regarding Hawerchuck as a head coach. The organization needs to retink it's approach. This approach to trading assets away to get to the second round needs to change. Also for several years now this team has gotten beaten up in the playoffs due to their size.
Why not try and build a team, hell worked well for the Schieffle era. (yes I know the Colts didn't draft Scheiffle) but still they created a team with Hall, Pearson, neideburger, and a few others that escape me rite now. It was very enjoyable watching the young guns develope and not be treated as cannon fodder.

 

[JetsColts13]

Agreed. More patience needs to be shown in developing what they have. Hounds a perfect example. Last year they were a strong team but didn’t add and as a result have put together a real strong team this year as because of this didn’t need to add much this year.

I too had heard stories during the year about parties and not inviting a certain player i think it had to do with the fact they didnt want what they were doing to get back to his father, but never the less no player should be allowed to play on the same team as his father or any relative , its like a husband being the boss over his wife or vice versa in a work environment it just leads to problems and favoritism.

 

[General Lee]

I Agree with the Magwood, Chiodo, Murray should be the OAs next season. It's my opinion that this game, at this level moves to fast for Ben. He has absolutely no creativity with the puck, Evident by constantly dumping the puck in . Blind passes to the front of the net. Soft wrist shot from away out at the goalie.

 

[JetsColts13]

Little quiet here and for good reason as there is quite a bit of uncertainty headed into next year. In good news the disaster of a scoreboard in the BMC looks like it’s going to be replaced.

Collingwood might have scored big, thanks to Barrie Colts - BarrieToday.com

From what I've heard the new scoreboard for Barrie will be similar to Sarnia's.

McBain is going to Boston College, so no chance he is in Barrie next fall.

Off Season Prospect Report- Barrie Colts

 

[sixrow]

Barrie Colts just posted this on their Instagram account moments ago.......featuring (2) 2019 NHL Draft eligible players (Suzuki & Allensen) & (3) Overagers (Murray-Chiodo-annnnnnnnd HAWERCHUK)

Looks like Zach Magwood is the odd man out. This doesn't look good for Colts fans. Huge gap between Magwood & Hawerchuk.

Wonder how this will affect the locker room???

 

[Tarantula]

Would Magwood now be available or has he other arrangements, possibly University? Great player, he could have a great year as a OA, imo.

 

[JetsColts13]

Well looks like no season tickets for me this year. They pick Ben over Magwood they aren't serious about winning.

 

[OU812]

I feel the same about Hadfield.
Far better options on D.
