Peterborough Petes 2022-23 Off-Season Thread (Part 4)

[Section5Petes]

It really depends on the player going to the Petes that will determine the # of picks.
Hopkins & 2nd?
Martin.
See DelMastro for comparison. Before last season, one top 5 picked 16 yr old was traded at the January window over 20 years.

If it is anyone but Tyler Hopkins it should be 2 2nds 2 3rds. That includes Battaglia, Frasca.

O’Reilly or Nicholl are both solid 06s

London now ranked #2 on the Owen Beck Power Rankings

@Section5Petes you crack me up

I doubt the Petes will release any overagers prior to Thursday. They will likely trade Jax Dubois at the start of season if they decide to keep all three of Connor Lockhart, Sam Mayer and Michael Simpson. I could see them keeping Cam Gauvreau into October and then making a decision of whether to keep him and trade Sam Mayer.

U have to be down to 4 on roster by opening night can’t carry 5

There is no rule that says you have to be down to four overages on opening night. Last year Hamilton had Morrison, Hayes, Diaco, White and Constantini into October. You have to be down to four by November 1st and three by January 9th or 10th.

Any chance Tucker Robertson will be back, otherwise where would he play?

I know Rob Wilson raised the possibility of Tucker Robinson in his interview with the Peterborough Examiner. If he was to return I believe the Petes would keep him for the year. I think they would also keep Connor Lockhart and Sam Mayer (they have to keep an overage defenceman) and trade Michael Simpson. However I have not heard anything about him being a potential overage recently.

Beauty pass from David Goyette and Robertson burries it

Tucker Robertson will be remembered in the coming years as one of the best Peterborough Petes of all time. He has a bright future in the NHL.

Any chance that they keep Simpson and trade Stuska? I am aware that Stuska is not an overager.

Interesting - I would say that could be close to proper value if Michael Simpson was included in the trade. Not a bad trade though is Simpson was involved.

Right now, if that trade was presented, I would think that was his value last year. Remember, Owen Beck is now a rental and not a 2 year player, so that kind of value is different.

Also, O’Rielly and Nichol have value so that’s why I said it might be overpriced. We fully expect them to take a big step similar to Easton Cowan, Logan Mailloux, and Oliver Bonk, coming out of Jr B to the OHL.

London gets their goalie.

We all saw that coming.

Couldn’t they have atleast kept
Him around for the banner raising ?

Great return for Pete’s love this move

I'll reserve judgment until we see how Bowen does / how the goalies shake out but much of the talk in here has been that the Petes have some solid goalies in the pipeline but a lack of guys who can provide much offense. I would have liked to have seen them try to address that here and see what Stzuska/Rye can show but maybe that wasn't an option in this deal.

I have to assume at this moment that Sztuska is the starter and Bowen is the backup so where does that leave Rye?

 

[Bra Wavers]

Like the trade.....Happy for Simpson and now the Petes are down to 4 OAs to start the season.
Lockhart, Dubois, Gauvreau and Mayer

Only 3 can dress for each game but I'm guessing that Gauvreau and Mayer won't sit out until Konnor Smith returns from his injury - they'll need as much veteran presence on the back end as possible. I guess Lockhart could play back on defense though.

OK........so now what happens in goal?
Sztuska 2004
Bowen 2005
Rye 2006
Johnston 2007

Will another goalie trade happen or does Easton Rye play in the OJHL or GOJHL?

Is Sztuska really in the plans after this season I don’t see him back as a OA next year so I’d give majority starts to Bowen and rye and maybe let Sztuska go

Awesome video by the Petes here

 

[LDN]

I’ll be honest 17-4 last year not a bad record. Definitely could get a bigger role this year. You’ll like him.
