Nailed it.

Nailed it.

He will be the horse next season! I do expect big things from him and Foudy

No disrespect to Bouchard, but Mac Hollowell was the only choice for this award. He put up similar or better offensive numbers in more games. He was also perhaps the best defensive blueliner in the game. He brought a level of consistency that is rarely seen in the O. I thought he was the best player in the league to be honest.

Bouchard was a little inconsistent defensively in my viewings and London fans seemed to be a little harsher than that. He's an absolute beast on offense, but all things being considered I thought he was second best. Here's hoping he has a great career with my favourite NHL team though.

I agree it should have been Hollowell. He had a great year and hopefully will continue on and have fantastic pro career.

This is a bit of a puzzling pick - not the most points, the best plus/minus? Usually it is somewhat of a scoring thing and he is 11th in scoring. Not sure what to think on this one - ( insert Otto post here).

maybe points per game or having a high plus/minus in a lower amount of games than most.

the standard for the voters in all categories seems to be the most highly touted Canadian player (higher draft selection, WJCs, NHL games played etc.), regardless of how they actually played. 2 other examples include:
Byfield over Perfetti ROY (1st overall vs. 5th overall)
Byfield over Rossi ROY (Canada vs. Austria)

Essentially the most recognizable name always wins

Still waiting on the Knights signing Rolofs and Mailloux......maybe they want to group them with another big fish (Vlasic, Dowiak)

Get a good Stay at home OA to pair him with.

Dowiak is not a big fish

Vlasic needs to be drafted by nhl team with good relationships with London to have a chance of coming

 

[Fastpace]

I dont believe he was the best in the OHL but thats just my opinion

Bouchard should have gotten it last year but they decided on Nicolas Hague instead, guess it's a league's costmary to award it to a less deserving defenseman. Kind of a pay back for Bouchard I guess, but "man" was he ever off his game the last five games of the Guelph series, what turned out to be of his OHL career.

 

[Fastpace]

Easy now Liam, we want you back here next season

How many spots on the roster are available ? What about last years high draft picks that chose the ohl & sat in the stands many games ? Where do they fit in ?

No disrespect but who's Mac Hollowell ?


Nah ! Just kidding, he had a very good year with good numbers to tag along, he could have as easily won it. He is an o/a with a year older in his fith OHL season that may of have had a little to do with the decision making, in any case Hollowell had a great season for sure, no doubts here.

How ever many the Knights does with the signing of new faces , I am sure many will agree if they would leave at least a half of a dozen spots open for the Juanuary trade deadline, just in case.

 

[Snippit]

Vlasic isn't that good that he'll be signed by an NHL team right away IMO

 

[ReLyT]

You just hope he gets drafted by a CHL friendly NHL team that will strongly suggest he reports to London.

I read this forum and wonder if some posters think London has a 100 player protected roster and 45 cards to dish out. And 2 rosters to fill.
Power, Vlasic, Dowiak, insert 20 other names that are either former picks, FAs or hold outs from other squads, plus sign 4 draft picks and/or FAs cause they looked ok at a spring skate, then add draft picks that played jrB last year.................

Nice to chase dreams, I hope the odd kid signs but Ill focus on who is on the protected list and who is signed.

I know its just a discussion board but try n look at it realistically.

They will add a vet or two. A rookie or two. A surprise FA or signing and thats aboit it, as always. Anyq else added will be a kid rotated in and playing mi or minutes and limited games or someome acquired in a deal that moves a body out.

1/2 picks from this year. Vet D . 1 kid from last years draft (already signed) ....... Doesnt leavd much room for the FA standouts at spring skate plus all the previous "flyers" drafted to sign n get minutes.

Everyone has a fav or two they would like to join the green n gold but a couple posters want 10 guys signed based on a spring skate, a youtube clip or some minor hockey stats they saw.

Slow down, itll work out.

Foudy has a legitimate chance to stick in the NHL.

I know some posters on here aren't fans, but he was one of the best Knights forwards once he got going. He'd be a valuable asset in the bottom 6 of Columbus. I watched some Columbus pre-season games before this season and he looked pretty good. His early success in the AHL isn't a surprise to me.

Foudy/Formenton are both better NHL prospects than they are OHL players.

Considering how our card situation turned out this season..I'd argue team management needs to slow down as well. Talk about premature ejaculation. To a TEE
