Nice accurate shots. Seems Formenton is getting noticeably better every month.

What's the scouting report on Formy's shot? Seems like he has improved it over the course of the year. Matched with his speed, its a dangerous combo to be fast and accurate.

Those two strides on the second goal over the blue line are something. What a skater

 

[Panic at the Back]

Formenton seems to be getting better every week. Plus that speed.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

Formenton seems to be getting better every week. Plus that speed.

Agreed, actually kind of hope he spends next year down in London too. No need to rush him with the way his game is coming along down there.

I expect he gets a few more games in Ottawa next season, but another year in London sounds about right. Add a bit more muscle to his frame.

You’re missing Francis Perron

And Mike Hoffman + Bobby Ryan (and Claesson)

Also, MPS shouldn’t be re-signed. Just because he is fast and not old doesn’t make him good

 

[topshelf15]

Any idea if they are using White at center in Belleville???Thinking if we are planning on giving him a look at that position he should be developed further,with lots of reps at center

Alex Formenton #80 scores a 'Natural Hat Trick!'
Excellent and Accurate Snap Shot by Alex Formenton.
Speedster 'brings it' every game. Every shift is high intensity and great work ethic.
Highlights:
Mar. 10/18 – LDN (4) – FLNT (3) – Ontario Hockey League

I mostly included only guys I see as likely being here or deserving a shot at being here in 2 or 3 years. Those guys you mentioned will likely/should be traded ideally.

You put Hoffman in that group. Why?

White is currently playing C in Belleville. He has played mostly C there this year. He has spent a few games on the wing as well.

 

[Karl Prime]

Formenton is going to be a joy to watch just for his skating alone. Man can he fly.

I agree that he should go back to junior. Let him go back to London, dominate there, go to the WJCs as a premier player, and then see where he's at in the summer of 2019.

Ok but because Hoffman was included, I didn’t know what you were trying to achieve there

IMO, keep Hoffman (cheap salary for a 60 pts guy), Pageau, Dzingel if we’re trying to be a very fast team

Ideally play Hoffman and Duchene together since they have strong chemistry and elite skillsets, and have them play with a very strong 2-way guy

Dzingel-Pageau would be 2 pieces of my 3rd line. Give them a guy with high offensive skill like Ryan maybe and now all your top-9 can score. For next year :

Hoffman-Duchene-White
Zadina-Brown-Stone
Dzingel-Pageau-Ryan
Paul-Chlapik-Pyatt
McCormick

With Formenton, Batherson, Gagne, Perron, etc still developing

Other than that your list was accurate. Don’t forget 2 first rounders coming soon!

 

[BoardsofCanada]

I watched London play Guelph last week and I came away so impressed with Formenton. He has speed, size, a good shot and a bit of a mean streak. I haven't watched much of Brown or Batherson this season, but honestly, Formenton, to me, is the most sure-fire NHL prospect we have.

I should have just asked you to begin with,u seem to be always up to date on these things

Logan Brown

 

[Karl Prime]

I really hope injuries don't plague Brown's career.

I sort of agree. I just get the feeling they prefer to trade him for a decent return of pick and prospect. I'd be ok with that

 

[Langdon Alger]

Formenton and Batherson are still eligible to go back to junior next year, right? So, it’s either Ottawa or junior for them? No Belleville?

I think Batherson is 19 right now? He might be eligible for Belleville next year.

Yeah, he turns 20 next month.
