London Knights 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 5)

[Knights2729]

So 2 2nds and 2 3rds for Lodnia and Thomas?

Back to trolling your own board lol

 

[zman77]

Boys have arrived home to win a championship here in London.
Mark is a patient man and will do the right thing for the London Knights.

 

[LDN]

Welcome back havent seen you post in a while hope all is well

Thank you! I appreciate it. I have been well. Just been busy with the holidays. I am looking forward to a big TDL for the boys. Why not go for a Memcup this year when you've won a gold?

 

[Stopper]

I

Tymkin, Keane, Dunkley, Guskov, 2 Seconds, 2 thirds. for Lodnia and Thomas?

I would like to see tymkin and Keane off this team as much as anyone. But there so bad and pentaly prone what makes other teams want them if we dont

 

[zman77]

Wonder who he is referring to

MATT CAMPBELL: Clock ticking on Petes to find the right fits to bolster lineup to go head to head with 67’s

Nice catch DTP.
Matt Campbell: Understands the crux of the situation with most of the possible trades in the OHL.
He says:

In terms of limiting trades, it can safely be assumed that most players selected early in the OHL draft will have a no-trade clause. In addition, all players in high school have no trade clauses, league wide.
At the trade deadline, the players most coveted by contending teams, such as Canadian World Junior golden goal scorer Akil Thomas from Niagara, were high draft picks likely to have a no-trade clause and the ability to pick and choose which contending team, if any, they are willing to accept a trade to.
On the flip side, the players the rebuilding teams are targeting in negotiations will be younger, high drafted 16- and 17-year-old players to help them in future seasons — high school-aged players with a no-trade clause of their own.

That's the point that was being made a few pages back.

 

[GangGreen]

To get those guys, you’ll need to give up Rolofs. But it’s the price of doing business. The Knights drafted 3 guys in or near the first round the year before. They’ll be fine

 

[LDN]

Rolofs will be a skilled forward in this league. If we can get Thomas without giving him up go for it Mark!

I also posted that thought as a possibility a couple pages back.
The leverage and control of movement has slowly shifted.

You think there is any chance if London strikes out on Thomas, Noel, Lodnia they come to Sarnia for McGregor or Josling?

Mark Hunter drafted McGregor with Toronto & since he has taken a huge step.

Tymkin and Nelson out and McGregor and Josling in would work for me!!

yes I think there’s a great chance London is in on these guys

Not many of the contenders have OA spots. London and Windsor are the teams that can clearly upgrade theirs.

 

[Hendy]

Mark has a habit of making trades no one has even mentioned. I wouldn't be shocked.
I also wouldn't be shocked if he does nothing.

Mark should check in with Barrie about Ryan Suzuki. I dont think they would move him but you never know

I dont see why they would him this year. They can get a similar haul next year if they decided to go that direction.

But it would be good, and very costly.

 

[Snippit]

IceDogs board (not on HF) seems to think it’s Thomas, Lodnia to Sudbury for McCallum (03), Bulitka and picks.

No idea if it’s true, it’s not any of the four teams Insiders listed.

 

[ReLyT]

McCallum has said no to a trade once already, but maybe he's changed his mind.

 

[TheCoach]

I think its time the OHL allows teams to trade 1st rd picks a year ahead like they do in thr WHL and QMJHL

 

[three dog night]

Wonder if London is in the deal with Sudbury and Niagara it sounds like a three team deal.

I'd just like to see consistency throughout the three leagues. Either permit all 3 to trade first round picks or change the current rule and bar first round picks from being traded in the W and Q. Not sure which of the two I'd prefer.

 

[thegill]

allowing trade of 1st rounders is not a good idea - only things left to protect GM's from trading away all its future

 

[HockeyHero96]

Phillips

 

[Canadian Game]

Nice addition to the blue line for you guys.

 

[TheCoach]

We should see some OA movement today as thr deadlines tomorrow at noon id love upgrade both Tymkin and Nelson but i have a feeling we will be stuck with Tymkin
