Boy Sweden did ok with the Leafs returning 2 AHL defenseman to them for the WJC. I have not really followed the pre- tourney stuff who is favoured this year? I assume Canada is in contention but is there a clear cut favourite this year?

I believe that’s the U18 roster. Still sucks to lose him, but we won’t see him at the world juniors.

Agree Buttsy.
Sweden was very good @ the 2018 WJC. Fast and skilled.
Liam Foudy will make Team Canada because of his speed and skill. imho.

To reply to Otto on the other thread I just think that when we have Boqvist, Bouchard, Formenton, Foud, Guskov away it will test both our offensive and defensive depth..this is important as depth wins in the playoffs

Joseph Garreffa:
Off the radar but would fit be a fit with the Knights.
He's small but his speed and puck-handling is high end.
Can play in all situations including Forward, Defence, PK and PP.

You lose to many key pieces after this year. So i believe if significant moves are not made this year then the hunters are just keeping the team compeditive so to keep the fans coming. You all know that this is a business and you must keep people coming to generate $ at the concession stands and souvinier booth. Saying that the Hunters like to win and this year there are not to many teams like last year who can win it all. They will add and will have to use their picks they accumulated and will have to send off a few prospects as well. if no deal is done this week it will be at the deadline.

This has nothing to do with gate attendants. That is not what the organization is concerned with it’s putting the best team possible on the ice. I think they make a move st the deadline for Vilardi. I think Gabe knows it’s a conditioning year for him and his history with injuries. There are few other players that would truly be an improvement over our current top six. We could swap out a bottom pairing d for insurance but other than that we are good to go.

Rumour has it that Ottawa is looking at acquiring Brandon Saigeon, Matthew Strome and Nicolas Mattinen, That should cost them 5 or 6 second round picks.

Leaves us Dellandrea, Morgan Frost, Suzuki or Tippett for our taking if that’s true. I suspect Saginaw will get one, and Guelph may pull the trigger on Villata and Frost because they need a goalie.

Good that would mean they wouldnt get Entwistle!

Interesting rumor, I can see Saigeon /Stome but not sure about Mattinen as we're very deep on D. If we go for one I'd prefer a guy like Durzi/Eliott...puck movers.

Out of curiosity, where did you see this rumour?

Yes the Knights will lose players to graduation, but you also have to realize the Knights right now have 4 or 5 players that could easily crack most OHL lineups sitting out every game. There is just no spot for them this year because of the numbers game. I've said it before and I'll say it again. As cocky as it may sound...London doesn't rebuild..they reload

 

[Fastpace]

One thing I will say about maybe getting one player for the long hull, if there is one player that resemble anything like a Drew Larman you can bet Mark is going to get him. (Thank you Sarnia 2005)
