London Knights 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 8)

[Matttheleaf]

So unless there are any compensatory picks:

19th overall pick - London
20th overall pick - Ottawa
21st overall pick - North Bay
22nd overall pick - London (from NIA)
23rd overall pick - Sarnia
24th overall pick - SSM
25th overall pick - London (from KGN)

Just a question. I thought that first round picks could not be traded? So are these just numbered as 19th, 20th and 21st etc. as second round picks?

London Knights' chain of confidence-building for rookies spreads to Stuart Rolofs

Each round has 20 picks..unless a team has a compensatory pick

Regardless London will select 3 players out of the top 25 selected

 

[TF519]

Stranges-McMichael-Evangelista
Guskov-Dunkley(OA)-Rolofs
McCue-Moskal (OA) - Panwar
McGurn -X -X

Steklov-Skinner
Mailloux-Keane
Roger-Montgomery

Brochu
X

Roughly 3 spots up for grabs...

Highly doubt Panwar returns and pending playoff production, Guskov may be on the hot seat too. If the right deal came for Stranges would 100% Athanasiou him.

Still hoping the Hawks can twist Vlasic's arm to sign but that's a pipe dream.

Guskov will be interesting.

There is a very real possibility we end up drafting a better import, and Steklov is going nowhere.

I can also easily seeing Guskov making a big jump in his 19 year old season though. He has tools.

I also think McMichael is a goner.

there are 20 teams in the league

Most games are sellouts at just over 9000 (or close to it), but tickets are sold online as well, some from STH who can't make it to a game. Friday night games (our typical home date) provide more energy and excitement in the building than you'll find on a 'sleepy' Sunday afternoon...playoff hockey being an exception.

Well if you hear of any tickets going on sale behind the night where the Gens would attack twice fee free to dm me. Everyone shows sold out online.

Thanks man!

Check box office again on game day. Group tickets sometimes get released day of.

That D will an addition or 2 from players not in the system as of yet. Happens every year seemingly. And that group above would be to inexperienced.

 

[aresknights]

Im also sticking with Guskov. Liked his game last year.
He has been challenged this year to work on different aspects of his game. Unless an AList import is available and a sure thing (A Boqvist type talent) Id keep him.

Just saw 4 tickets on the FaceBook Marketplace for Sunday in Sec 312

25 bucks each

Let's hope North Bay keeps on winning (4 points back right now) and make 8th place so Knights would get 21st and 22nd picks

He doesn’t need to look to far into the past to see how much it helped Boqvist last season. That would be a huge “get” but like you I think it’s a bit of a pipe dream?

Why would a team receive a compensatory draft pick?

If a player is selected in the 1st round and refuses to report to said team and then is subsequently traded, the team losing the player receives a compensatory pick in the 1st round of the next draft

Owen Sound built a pretty good team around trading one player and exercising their right to two first round picks.

I was just reviewing some special teams stats courtesy of the OHL website, and here are some things that stood out regarding our PP.
Overall, the Knights' PP is 2nd.
Yet, here is the more interesting stat that debunks the myth that officials display favouritism toward the Knights. The Knights rank 15th in PP opportunities (221). In other words, in simple language, 15 out of 20 teams go on the PP more than London. These numbers refute the notion that there's biased officiating, that referees are eager to make calls that put the Knights on the PP.
And if you still think that there's favouritism, but it's only at London home games, you'd be wrong. There's no marginal difference between the number of PPs at home (112) and on the road (109).
I would like opposing fans to continue to hate us, but not for spurious reasons. Just find a better reason!
Hopefully, we get to the point where even suggesting that refs favour the Knights will be treated the same way as those who think the earth is flat. Just one of my pet peeves...

And we now have one of those players on the Knights

Along with the defected player for 3 years - and a championship in his second year.

@sbpointer must be referring to the London Knights team that Owen Sound built?

So. Do we start Myskiw tonight with the 'easier' game and ride Brochu Sat-Sun or go with Brochu-Myskiw-Brochu on Fri-Sat-Sun?

If Brochu wants the ball..you gotta let him play. The chance is there to put some space between yourself and the next team behind you. Gotta go with the best players that give you the best chance to win
