wow, I just saw on TSN that London sent 3 minor picks to acquire Fritsche. They now have an insane amount of talent on their top two lines. Perry, Schremp, Bolland and now Fritsche. Throw in Dylan Hunter and they're going to be extremely tough to beat. I guess that they have to hope that Fritsche can stay healthy until they can host the Memorial Cup. It'll be tough for any team to contend with that.
 
over...powering...
The knights are playing insane.
if they had jeff carter, who should be in the NHL, they'd be downright unbeatable.
They virtually are anyway.
 
There were rumblings early in the season that they would add Carter as he is a London native. As stated tho if he can stay healthy it will certainly increase their chances to win the OHL Champiosnhip and Mem Cup.

They Also added a goalie, Adam Dennis who played great for the Storm last year, they have one of the better goalie tandems now as well.

The IceDogs only added a d-man, I didnt expect them to make any major changes. Im hoping they can make it back to the finals, hopefully against London, which would mean a birth in the Mem Cup :D

Man, as a hardcore Knights fan, I can't say I'm overly excited to see all these trades. (They also added over-ager Dan Girardi from the Storm a few days back.) I mean, why mess with success??? They already have the best team in the CHL. I just don't know...with all the talent they should only get better, but look at teams like the Rangers. I'm just not so sure about all this. I hope they prove me wrong though, I really do.

Wow, this is sure going to be disappointing when they lose - just playing the devil's advocate.

Indeed it would. They made a strong team stronger and the other possible contenders didnt make many changes if any, here's hoping a team gives em a run for their money ;)

If there is any team that will it'll be Owen Sound. That game was really close on Sunday. London won 4-3 in overtime though, but really, I think for the most part Owen Sound played better, but the Knights had too much offensive power to be stopped, I guess.

I still don't see why you would make such major changes to the #1 Junior team in the CHL. I doesn't make sense.

Agreed, sometimes tinkering with a good team isnt always a good thing, but I think Dennis and Dan will fit in quickly and not disrupt much.

I was going to suggest Owen Sound as one of the major threats. The Attack have played really well all year but no one noticed because the Knights were racking up their huge unbeaten streak. The playoffs will be fun to watch, thats for sure.
 
The big problem I see the Knights facing is the WHOLE freakin' division they are in. It's pretty sad that OWen Sound is ranked top four in the country, but has to beat London early on in the playoffs to get a sniff at the M. Cup. I think whoever comes out of that division will pay a heavy price to make it.

Owen Sound is also one of the teams to beat London this year too... during the juniors of course, but OWen Sound was missing key player Stefan Rucizka as well.

Go Attack!

:) So I'm a homer - sue me!

That division is going to be tough to get out of Kitchener isn't exactly a bad team either. Still, barring major injury, I don't see anyone touching the Knights.
 
I think their biggest problem might be finding enough ice time for everyone to be happy. The Knights were firing on all cylinders with Perry, Schremp, Bolland, Hunter, etc. Now they add another top line forward, when they already have too many. I see Chemistry issues maybe popping up.
