I wouldn’t be surprised if you and others don’t like the return

I am surprised when strong likes anything.

LA Kings have officially sent Thomas back to junior.

[three dog night]

Let the bidding begin.

DJ Brooks‏ @DJ_Brooks
GM Burke interview on @610CKTB just said if Thomas comes back...he won’t be traded unless a 16 year old 1st rounder is headed back.

An 03 1st rounder is the better move for this rebuild, but the trade also needs to include picks in preferably the years (2020 and 2021).

The Favourites

Unfortunately, the London Knights are one of the possible trade partners. Dale Hunter was impressed with Akil Thomas in the World Jr showcase. He had him playing top 6 minutes, on the PP and killing penalties. They have plenty of picks in the right years, but do they have the player the Icedogs want?
TRACKING: 1st Rd (#20): 03 LW Stuart Rolofs
2020: 2 - 2nd / 1 - 3rds
2021: 2 - 2nd / 2 - 3rds
2022: 1 - 2nd / 3 - 3rds


Kitchener has the potential stud centreman, plus some of the picks in the right years.
TRACKING: 1st Rd (#13): 03 C Francesco Pinelli
2020: No 2nd / 3 - 3rds
2021: 1 - 2nd / No 3rds
2022: 1 - 2nd / 1 - 3rds


Peterborough definitely have the star centreman and 2020 picks, but are currently missing a 2021 pick needed. Can Merkley change that or do the IceDogs take some 2022 instead - and next year, use Tomasino to acquire those 2021 and 2023 picks needed?
TRACKING: 1st round 03s (#5) C – Mason McTavish and (#11) C - Jon-Randall Avon.
2020: 3 - 2nd / No - 3rds
2021: No - 2nd / 1 - 3rds
2022: 2 - 2nd / 1 - 3rds


Ottawa has the motivation and the picks required, but no centreman, instead, a quality RH defenseman to offer.
TRACKING: 1st Rd (#21): 03 RD Jack Matier. Ottawa's best 02 centremen are Cameron Tolnai and Dylan Robinson.
2020: 1 - 2nd / 2 - 3rds
2021: 2 - 2nd / 2 - 3rds
2022: 2 - 2nd / 1 - 3rds

Maybe you should have included Saginaw in the mix

[Blacksox]

Saginaw Spirit

1st Rd (#19): 03 LD Connor Punnett (6’1”, 185 lbs)

OHL SCOUTING REPORT:
Connor is a tough stay at home defender that makes it very hard on the opposition in his own end. He is very physical and uses his explosive skating to close gaps. He has very good mobility and makes good crisp outlet passes. Connor usually plays a very simple game, moving the puck quickly and jumping into the rush when the opportunity arises. He is solid defensively and alert to what is going on around him. Connor is an intimidating presence when he is on the ice.

thescout.ca
Punnett is a physical two-way defenseman for the North Central Predators who is one of the better players available at the position. A well-sized defenseman who uses his body to separate the player from the puck. A very tough player to beat 1-on-1 as he is a powerful mobile skater, keeps a tight gap and an active stick, and has the ability to step up and lay a hit.

Punnett sees the ice quite well in the offensive zone, walking the blue line looking to get a shot through to the net or hitting a player back door. Makes accurate breakout passes. Rarely getting caught up ice.

Defensively, he rarely looks to be under pressure and uses his quick stick and his body to help his goalie see the puck.

Guess Akil still can not score in a shootout

[conchar]

Does anyone know why Akil did not play in Saginaw tonight...is he injured or is Billy keeping him healthy for a pending trade? We could sure have used him in the game.
