SSM Greyhounds 2023-24 Season Thread (Part One)

[DWI Dale]

can't really remember a year where things were so hazy leading into the deadline. typically the buyers and sellers are well defined, as well as who the big fish are and where they might end up.

Owen Beck last year. Philip Tomasino the covid year.

Saginaw is in a pretty good 2 year window. If they can get help for both this year and next, wouldn't that be worth it? But yeah, it's hard to pry those guys.

Saginaw only has 4-2nds to work with so I doubt that player is attainable for them and still have enough assets for the 2nd year. They would almost certainly lose Young and an 06 plus most of their picks. Missy with 7-2nds and Ivankovic available probably could.

2018/19 was a similar market, Ottawa dominated the East and the west was well balanced at the top, Guelph held in their on the Suzuki and Durzi trade and finished the season strong in the 4th position. Burnett looked like a genius come playoff time... advance warning! lol

When was the last time a player got as many games as that? That's a lot. Sends a pretty clear statement.

Well deserved. Although I can't help but feeling like it's so severe because it was perpetrated by a plug against a star player. Just makes me wonder if the punishment would be as severe if the player was more important to Londons roster.

 

[HockeyPops]

For sure, the league had an opportunity to make an example and did not dissappoint.

 

[DiggityDawg]

Sawyer Boulton got 10 games

So a19 yr old rookie has played 18 games, been suspended for 16 more.

Says it all.

Hunter's intent for dressing this kid is obvious. This is not a hockey player, he is a weapon.

 

[HF92]

Hounds likely without Barker

 

[HockeyPops]

Not surprising. He can rest a couple of weeks. Hope he's ready to go after the break.

@HockeyPops Any idea how many cards the Hounds have used this season?

 

[HockeyPops]

Pretty sure it's 24. We have dressed 24 different players for a game and I think they are all on "A" cards.

Last year, Ethan Cardwell got 15 games, I believe.

The Dickinson hit?

Plus, I'm wondering if Saginaw's big adds might be 2 year players, like Rehkopf or Barlow, if any become available.

Those moves are usually reserved for teams with no chance to win; such as IceDogs (Thomasino), wolves (Stillman) & steelheads (Beck).

The Dickinson hit?

Yep, I had to google it but that's what it looks like.

2/3 Petes!!

 

[HF92]

sounds like Allard has made Team Canada

Akili Thomas was a Pete, not Tommasino.
Edit: Right, Beck & Stillman

But a couple of years earlier, Oke paid dearly for Garlent, and Paquette, and also acquired Grondin at 18.

Always love a good underdog story. Love seeing a guy like that crack a roster like that. Congrats to Owen.

We will need Rehkopf to put you guys out
