Good trade for the kid. McCarron and MDC in Oshawa are going to tear it up!

Are the Knights not contenders this year. Don't get why they would get rid of McCaron, esp after his 6 point game? Any insights out there?

Wouldn't say contenders. A team that can win a round or 2 with upset capabilities,, yes! It will be hard for London to get passed Erie, and SSM in the west even if they stayed pat. Good move for London. Good move for MAC

OHL scouts have said he's been one of the best defensive centers this year?

I think he's talking about the knights

My bad, totally misread that. Ya, I get it from London's POV. They need picks and can afford to lose his offence considering they have Marner, Dvorak and Domi.

As someone who only cares about prospect development, I must say I am a bit shocked. Hopefully it is not as much of a shock to mccarron, and he rolls right along.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Good for him, he's got a chance to play in another final.

 

[Account Terminated]

Kind of weird to hear this right after his six point night and London crushing Sarnia.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Iim to be exposed to a new coach and learn new tricks.

That's probably why Oshawa went & traded for him now, wonder how long it was in the works for.

[Spearmint Rhino]

Hunter Smith & Big Mac, that's a lot of beef up front for the Generals

 

[NobleSix]

Sad to see him go as he was one of the only reasons I attended London Knights games this season. Hopefully he continues developing.

Trade him at his high before he flops

LOL, not true, plus you don't need to play as many mnutes in your own zone when you are a possession machine.

 

[Habsawce]

Sounds like he'll probably play with Dal Colle

Heard it a couple days and posted on McC thread yesterday.
Details were worked out by staffs, ntc were waived by a couple, just had to wait on oshawa ownership to ok the deal and for Jan 1 so Pu could be moved.
Mark Hunter likes Pu and did for a while

Interesting, Oshawa is about 25-30 mins from me so I may go see him play a few times.

He already flopped since he did not make Team USA

Exactly. Hope McCarron takes Scherbak as an exemple and jump on the opportunity play with new players, in a new system, and maybe make it far in the playoffs.

 

[LastRide]

Hopefully he keeps progressing and become the player we drafted him for.

Ah good. So any points he gets will be attributed to the Isles prospect.
