Ya, Think about it, maybe he brings his A game when he thinks it is beneficial for his career!!!!. really , can you honestly say, Wow, Foudy is a great first round pick. Has he shown enough for you to say that!!!!! Do you watch other hockey teams and players?. Has he proved that for the Knights this year that he is playing like a first rounder???

Coome is good...Regula will be back for sure! No chance he makes it

Regula while a good and improving dman wont make Detriot next year,they dont rush underage guys.

 

[dino200022]

You must be watching a different Coome than the one I am.

Coome is a borderline too 6 on a good Jr. B team....not to sure I am wasting an OA spot on him next year jesus haha not to sure what Coome that guy was watching

He is as good as at least half the first rounders and he isnt a third liner. Just saying

Seriously for my 4000th post, I would like to take this opportunity to wish both Andrew Perrott and Matthew Timms the very best in Owen Sound and Barrie respectively and on their future hockey careers. As well as extending the warmest of welcome to Kevin Hancock as he's finishing up his junior career here in London before he continue on to pros and/or other things in stored for him in his future.

Congrats on #4000!

You started in 2015, that is only three years.

Come on kids let’s play in the sandbox nicely so what you guys think about tonight’s game any prediction on the score

 

[OMG67]

Maybe you should be more polite and shut your mouth or maybe cut out your Uvula!! IF YOU EVEN KNOW THAT THAT IS!!! Just saying

Ummm, I’ve read a lot of posts on this site and I can’t ever remember anyone using the word “UVULA” before. Well played, Mr Bond.

He was here 1 1\2 year, he didn't play much because of numbers game and as of today the day of his departure not one fan said or wrote one bad word against him, that's how I can describe this kid for you. But now that he is an Attack he will surely make us find something to say or write against him, that's how we will dread his plays against the Knights for the next 2 1\2 seasons. He will be liked in Owen Sound, if that helps you AttackSound ?

First of all, I do like the Hancock acquisition, but I am not at all a fan of the asset management or the fact that we had to give up Perrott to get him....AND, if I had known we only had 2 cards left, I never would've gone after another defender (ie. Joey Keane).

Obviously, acquiring Timms was a mistake. I don't believe the Knights brass did their due diligence on Timms. I'm sure he didn't all of a sudden turn into a turnover machine after the Knights acquired him, and he cost us an ever-so-valuable card (Mistake #1).

Secondly, from what I can see, the handling of Perrott was brutal. Sure, he made mistakes, but man, he could've developed into another Lochead....and we are going to need him next season!!! I love Hancock, but not at the cost of Perrott. Yes, I am aware that he had requested a trade, but that's only because of the way we mishandled him in the first place. I still believe he could've been a very capable 5th or 6th defender this season and top 4 next year. Instead, we just traded away our two most capable 6th defenders. Now we have to rely on Golden, Coome or Keane Jr. to fill that role. I like Jr., but he's not ready for that responsibility this season (Mistake #2).

Thirdly, if we knew we only had two cards left, why go after another D, when what we really needed was a legitimate top line right winger?! Bouchard/Regula, Boqvist/Lochead and Timms/Perrott would have made a very strong and capable top 6 and would've allowed us to go after 2 solid forwards. Yes, we have a lot of good forwards, but what we don't have are game-breakers, and I hope I'm wrong, but this team reminds me too much of the Memorial Cup teams that had a hard time scoring when they needed it most (Mistake #3).

I'm not even convinced we can win the OHL (depends on how much more the other contenders load up), but if we do, I'd be shocked if we ended up beating Prince Albert....and like GKG44 said, that should've been our goal!

Again, I hope this team can prove me wrong, but I'm afraid we're gonna come up a little short and still have no D left for next season.

Maybe they picked up Keane because they had already targeted Hancock and knew they needed to get rid of Timms to do it And wanted one of the best top 5 D this team maybe has ever had?
Of course they did their due deligemce on Timms. Cmon, ya think they just read the stats sheet and took a gamble? It was insurance in case other D didn't return and it was cheap.
The Perrott writing was on the wall for a while. I was the first to pump him as a player when drafted. Love his potential but giving him up for a Hancock is no big deal. And according to many on post on here thete were other reasons
Yes i agree and have posted it didnt seem like great card management but it happens occassionally and they wanted the 4 rookie kids here all year. That was the plan going back to early August ( i know for a fact)
They also wanted insurance against a slow start so used up a couple cards, maybe unneccessarily, in Sept/Oct hindsight but I get why with Koly.

I wanted one more forward as well but with 2 cards left, Perrott wanting out ( and them wanting to accomadate him) I think they did a fantastic job adding one of the best D and Fs avail at a fantastic cost. Add Cotter for free and the fact previously mentioned, that we have had Formenton and Bouchard for only under 15 games. Sit first in the O in GF and GA per game. The rookies will continue to get better.

I think they have a fantastic job. Sit back and enjoy. If they dont win it all, oh well. But I would take my chances with this squad vs. any other. Even after additions

Golden is Bouchards place holder i hope lol

"Oh OMG67", Thank You ! - And there are the kinds that are retired like myself who are so ever hooked on junior hockey as well, all kinds of junior kids and the minors too. Anywhere I go I hang my hat to watch kids play hockey and that's in any province in this country, wouldn't never do this much for NHL hockey or pros, kids are so much more entertaining when they put all their heart soul into their games.

I am little surprised at the lows some people have stooped to. In a time of cyber bullying, this is what was posted. The kid puts up 24 pts in 35 games. I believe is one or two in assists on the team . I actually spoke with him once. Very nice kid, soft-spoken and courteous. Received award for community service while here I think.

I see people question what happened to Lochead in Niagara and then we do it to one of our own. Sad. Maybe some time to question yourself and what qualities you are bringing that make this world a better place. Just a thought!

Great post... the hypocrisy on this board is rampant

 

[Otto]

Cuz I spoke to a scout

And you expect "a scout" to tell you who the Knights were attempting to trade? Good chance the scouts don't even know what's going on

They know a lot more than you think. I hear about trades way ahead of time usually from scouts.

For some odd reason Erie is is pounding Niagara 4-1 Five minutes into the second Period and shots 22-10!!

Its Erie and Niagara are home and who are they missing other then Robertson?? London beat them without 3 regulars last night!!

 

[TheCoach]

Even if they expect Vlasic to report next season, that's still only 1 reliable D.

Trade Flint for the rights to Owen Power

Lodnia is out i believe

Oh yeah, my mistake. Still they have a powerhouse team though. No excuses to be losing to Erie in my opinion...
