Do you think Mark drove up the price on Harrison to get Windsor to go hard after him so that we could swoop in for another player?

I don't know if he necessarily intentionally drove up the price. I think we are just back to seeing pre-covid prices for selling teams.

You could be right but we may never know until we see some action.

Are you sure? He has been the guy they have been dropping the buck back to coming through the neautral zone on one of the PP units? That indicates he has the ability to skate pucks in.

I think the price was set, see Arcuri … 2-2nds, 3-3rds seems an oddly popular number of picks and measurable for most of the trades made

I would like to think so!
But it sounds like they were legitimately in on him, so they just may not have been willing to pay what Windsor did, but this may mean they are not done and willing to go after someone else they think can be a game changer.
Mark is sneaky too, could be going after someone no one is talking about. Maybe someone in the AHL who may be coming back, we have seen him do that a few times over the years.

Although, an AHL player is likely an OA, and I do not see the Knights moving on from one of their own OA's.

19-2 in the last 21 games.
One of our poorer performances last night, but you get the W, and all is forgotten.
Looking forward to Winterton's debut Friday night.

Rolling! Let us hope we can keep it up into the 2nd half and playoffs

Need to keep Brochu fresh and healthy in the second half, he is finally starting to look like the pre-injury version of himself. Even with the additions and great D in front of him, he is the biggest piece of the puzzle on this team. They are going to need him if they want to make noise in the playoffs.

Bowen has been decent when called upon for the most part, but he is young and unproven. So get him some games throughout the second half, get him experience while keeping Brochu fresh. If they can do that, I am excited for a big run!

Protect the keeper! We need our D to be mean to anyone who dares to touch Brochu or Bowen

Agree! Just maybe a little less mean then Mailloux was, or at least let the guy get up

Can't afford to lose guys like him for 3 games at a time.

Would be a big add, but it looks like his rights are held by the Vancouver Giants.
So very unlikely he would land in London.

I missed that. My bad! Any other free agents or guys off other’s radar’s?

Quite sure. New years resolution is being less critical of the very young players. He is not very good at rushing the puck at all. He can shoot and make some amazing passes.

A zero trade capital acquisition that would be nice, is their own import pick Kasper Halttunen, he looks like a very good player but he is still young and the chances of him coming mid season I think are fairly low. But not something that would be unheard for Mark.

I think looking at the import market is also a no go outside of Halttunen, because that would mean they lose his rights and at 17 they still have several seasons to convince him to come.

Can you explain why he is the one they setup to carry the puck through the neutral zone and into the offensive zone on one of the PP units then? I would be curious to understand why you think he is not capable of doing it yet his OHL coaches set him up to do it?

 

[bearfan]

Look for Brochu to play Friday, Saturday and Bowen gets the start Sunday in the Soo

DelMastro has not impressed me at all. Hope we don't try and get him.
