Very impressed with Gareffa so far, fitting seemlessly with Rossi and Keats. That line could have had about 5 goals by now but 1-0 Hamilton.

Yes, I meant the return. To get an OA forward that can quarterback the PP and score at a 1.5 points per game and not have to part with a 2nd round pick is pretty cheap. It seems like it was more of a "do the player a favour" sort of deal.
That Hamilton coach sure is an idiot !!!!
Taking that penalty when up 3-1

Rossi is averaging 2.5 pts per game this season, 15 points in 6 games if he had'nt been suspended and kept the same avarage he would be OHL leading scorer. IF a small word but big meaning.
Is it me or the trade market is coming down to more reasonable levels? Garrefa, Peric, Bitten, constantinou, Paquette have all gone for less than a few years ago...see Robertson, Stratis etc. Even last year Suzuki/Durzi, Chiodo and even Dipietro. Yes a few outliers like Robinson and Studnicka (Hunt fleeced Nia). Anyway I think the market is reverting to the mean. OMG as our resident value expert, thoughts? By the way did not include Maggio in this discussion as obviously paart of the DP deal.
I noticed you’re missing our first overall pick from 2018. Not holding out any hope that he’ll turn things around?
My concern isn’t so much the lack of offensive production from the young guns, but their lack of defensive prowess. It’s one thing to not score goals, it’s another to turn the puck over repeatedly leading to odd-man rushes and breakaways.
Yes, we need to add more goals. At the same time, we also need to focus on reducing our team GAA to under 3. It’s nice to see the chemistry between Rossi, Garrefa, and Keating develop; just need to get the other three lines to score occasionally and, if they can’t manage that, at least help keep the puck out of our net.

Garreffa, Keating, and Rossi had some real chemistry today. It seems we need that kind of line, 2 overage and Rossi. The 67s have played a very nonchalant game at times and they get caught flatfooted by teams that skate hard on the puck. On Friday, they had more than enough possession and shots to win, but the Petes just weathered the storm and made lousy chances count. Today, two bad goals by Cranley and a brutal giveaway by Okhotyuk made the game closer than it should have been. Good shots by the Hamilton players, but Cranley is a big guy and he is down way too quick. Matier took a kneebreaker check and left in the second period. I guess Hoefenmayer ran the numbers with Garreffa in town and it looks like it is either he or Wilson. Should be an interesting decision.
I heard around the rink that Wilson is the odd man out. The only way they would trade Hoef if they could get a much better return.
The goaltending so far this season is not nearly good enough. Cranley with his size should stand tall and not be getting beat over the shoulder like he did yesterday. I also don't believe that Andree has looked all that great except for the game in London. He is not making the timely saves when the team needs a lift. When Dipietro got injured against Guelph in last year's playoffs he finished the game really strong and after that his play has been subpar. I don't care if he has the 5th best GAA in the league the big saves are just not there.
The defense should be doing a much better job in our end with all of the experience everyone is talking about. Lots of time opposing forwards in the clear with nobody even close.
I believe that we need an Akil Thomas type player, the defense has to tighten up and the goaltending really needs to stabilize.

With the acquisition of Joe Garreffa, Hudson Wilson is the odd OA out in Ottawa. The 67’s are looking at the best landing spot for Wilson. Andre Tourigny calling him a big leader on the team and a better person. Will be big loss in 67’s room.

I see what you're saying but I think that in Gareffa's situation it may have been a "trade me to Ottawa or I will go play in Europe" situation as he had previously declared his intention to play pro. Great that Ottawa is that team in demand and that we can make such a good deal value wise.
Kenny Walls announced yesterday on the broadcast that the 67's will let him pick his preferred destination and not focus as much on the return coming back for him, so we will be hit by the inverse of the Gareffa acquisition. As a fan of the team, I am fine with this as Hudson Wilson more than paid his dues for this team and should be allowed to go where he and his agent see the best opportunity.
Don't forget that we paid 2 x 2nds and a 3rd for Dylan Robinson, 2 x 2nd's and Austin Swankler for Maksimovich and in the Dipietro deal, it ended up being 3 x 2nds + Egor Afanasyev (nearly a 1st round NHL pick).
The key seems to be finding players that teams need to move and selling your own players when you have lots of buyers.
In looking at the team's draft pick situation after the Gareffa deal, the 67'still have six 2nd rounders, four 3rd rounders and nine 4th rounders available between now and 2024 (which I believe is the furthest draft that teams can trade after the rule changes took effect).
Assuming that the team is going close to all in, they should be able to acquire a 19 year old star forward (Akil Thomas/Serron Noel type) for a good young player and 3 x 2nd's and then acquire a second 19 year old forward (Pavel Gogolev type) for 2 x 2nds, 3 x 3rds and add a depth defenceman (2000 born that the trading team won't have room for as an OA) for a 4th. They might be able to hold onto their 2020 picks in this situation at least the 2nd, 2 x 3rds and 2 x 4ths as they will have major icetime to offer next year and the rebuild will be sped up with these picks and the two new imports.
I can see the team looking to add at least two more forwards, possibly a depth 19 year old defenceman and possibly a depth 19 year old Goalie depending on how Will Cranley is progressing. I've emboldened players that either won't or may not be back next season.

Akil Thomas or Serron Noel will cost one of Tolnai or Matier. Someone else will pony that up so if you want either of those two, you'll have to wait until close to the deadline. What transpired with Suzuki last year is not a trend, it's an exception. Besides, the 67s are not in a situation to wait out the entire market and hope that sort of a deal falls in their lap at the last minute.

Except if your Branch in Flint. What he gave up for Lalonde and Popovich is much higher than anyone else would have. But yes prices seem a little lower. Now lets hope Papineau can get in some of the action in Sudbury before prices go up as fast as the Toronto housing market.
