London likely has two cards left at least. Any good GM knows not to put bubble guys on major junior cards until absolutely necessary. Whittaker definitely didn't use a card and neither did Rowe. Coome could be on a B card. One way to tell would be to see which games he's played. Games held during NHL preseason period and world jnior period don't cont. Only one that is still up in the air is Kolyachonok.

No way Mark is only down to one card. Not a chance.

I hope you’re right, but you’re definitely in the minority on here

Why would think that Peterborough needs wingers. While they are from all reports looking to upgrade, they are fairly deep on both right and left wings. They have 4 wingers with double digits in goals and Popov is not a player they need. He at best would be their 13th forward.

The Petes are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league and just traded one of their best wingers to Guelph. Their leading scorer is a defenseman and scoring outside of Robertson-Paquette-Timleck has been pretty weak.

I wasn't slamming the team or anything, but the easiest upgrade for them would be some scoring punch in the bottom 6. They would easily have a spot for Popov if they thought he could turn things around a bit.

Can’t help but think as we bicker amongst ourselves about who we acquire next, as we’ve been saying we’re lacking size and toughness and to be honest a net front presence in the forward department. Imagine if we had Brady Tkachuk! He’d be everything we need right now Lol! A playmaking centre with size and physicality.

London has 2 cards left for sure, Keane would make 1 left.

So how does a Defence Core of

Bouchard - Lochead
Boqvist - J. Keane
Timms - Regula

Look.

Pretty damn good anywhere in the CHL I would say.

I think the depth move for Keane is a great pick up, hopefully it’s only a few picks as we are in a buyers market. I’m hope we trade for Dellandrea and Vilardi and settle in. Flint does have a problem having players waive their NTC to report so we may not have to give up a player of extreme value. Parrott Popov and picks

Vilardi all pick deal on health conditions, 4x2nds like the Stephens trade

The fact 3 Knights players have reported to Flint this year alone, tells me there's a good chance any player in a package would move there. Dellandrea is still high on Mark's radar

2 cards left...sniper and grit

Foudy/Dellandrea/Formenton
McMichael/Dunkley/Tippett
Tymkin/Cotter/Moskal
Stranges/Turko/Guskov/Panwar

Nelson/Evangelista/Popov out

the D is set...throw Golden into any package or even give him away

Perrott/Keane rotate as your 7th you need the depth. There will be an injury back there, you can almost bank on it
