Totem, you’re fired! We need a top three pick and you keep bringing us the fourth pick.

Where’s Vanacker playing next season?

My guess is Brantford.

I think the smart move would be to talk to Brodie and see what he wants. If he wants his full paycheck you let him know that he will most likely go to Rockford and if you don't like that we can buy you out and you can sign with any team you want, or we can keep you in the NHL but you will be a healthy scratch many nights.

With the salary cap going up and this league maybe finally having a good financial foundation, you need to be a team that works with all the players you sign. Good or bad

Or - talk about contract termination. Not sure there is that much demand for him - but it would be inline with the - ok, what do you need out of this situation? And if we can accommodate it -we will. I don't think he serves a purpose any longer (and I doubt he served the purpose that they envisioned when signed- but they took a chance - and it just didn't work).

I can work for PIT I guess since they seem to jump up a lot in my draws. Gotta stay away from the actual drawing.

Think KFC will make a trade with the #4 if that's what he gets.

My guess is Brantford.

Thanks, was wondering but I thought the same. TBH, I was hoping you’d say the Hawks, but I know that he’s still young. So maybe Rockford the following year and Hawks in 2027-28?

I have liked that so far with KFC. Seems pretty transparent and has tried to do right by the players and also hasn’t gotten bent over in the process.

I do think that sends a message to other players possibly wanting to sign here contrary to what some here may think.

Even though Lardis is having a crazy season and on the verge of scoring 70 goals I think Vanacker is closer to being an NHL player.

Speaking of, Vanacker with another goal and assist early in the second period.

You’re a lost cause.

And Lardis with his 70th on a really nice give and go.

He should already have 90 goals! 70…meh.

The last OHL player to score 70 was John Tavares.

Don’t know about that but he claims he was a Blackhawk fan growing up.

Right over my head

Is it me or is this team playing with heart, I'm really liking their compete level.

Well it's only one period but it looks like Soda is accepting Knights challenge of being the best goal tender on this team

I loved how physical they got as the 1st period went on.

Good for Lardis, can't wait to see him in Rockford

Where’s Vanacker playing next season?
- Angotti

He won't be 19 until August. Brantford is probably the best place for him. Especially after missing half this season recovering from surgery.

At 16. That's insane.

Lardis got #70 as Brantford is thumping Saginaw. 10-2 (after TWO!)
