@Jamesgadair @CDN_Dimension really enjoyed this. think the attack are going to be a particularly interesting (derogatory) case study of this stuff bc so far private equity has only been able to buy minority stakes in pro sports in north america, this is one of if not the first wholly pe owned club

@christoaivalis in the ohl you can’t trade 1st round picks so when big trades happen you get a crapload of 2nd and 3rd rounders

@Statford_Bridge this is how bob mckenzie would talk about any defencemen from saskatchewan at the world juniors

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@JohnnyGiunta_ technically qatar did this my not making the knockouts

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@JohnnyGiunta_ injured his hamstring in the champions league semifinal and is still recovering. he was great on the ball but he can’t run and has a hard minutes cap

@TheStalwart joe go on the double pivot podcast

@AttackingOHL concern with private equity owners is that an obvious way to try and increase the teams value would be relocating to a larger market. agree that in the short term the money should hopefully get some facility upgrades and a new front office, but i’m leery about this

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@Liv_Agar wonder if he has a bigass pendulum in there too

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@GeneralsUpdates bedkowski i forgot would be oa because he got drafted last season, that's on me. even then i still think there's a chance he plays oa

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@GeneralsUpdates mbuyi has the ncaa commit but i think struggles of some younger players in the ncaa show that going at 18 to play can be too soon, esp for a smaller player like mbuyi - he's useless in your bottom 6 so he needs to be a star right away to develop there

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@GeneralsUpdates been lots of buzz around george leaving since preseason bc he's in his last season and os have 3 startable goalies. would be flabbergasted if mbuyi or bedkowski moved. see this more as optimizing for next year than a full 2+ year teardown

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@ryanpmcarthur jake crawford for the attack has really taken a step forward this year. tone setter - plays a physical and aggressive 200 foot game, and has taken a step forward contributing offensively this year. key cog on an os team that’s a bit thin down the middle

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@NHLFoley mbuyi is a dog. was the primary offensive outlet as a 16 year old rookie on a bad attack team and has scaled his output on a better team this year without losing the goals. criminally underrated because people get blinded by the measurables, he's gonna be the steal of the draft

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@megannn_lynne skill issue

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@ettingermentum serious answer is i think canadians that aren’t fully right wing freaks will actually remember him pretty fondly. but obama vibes where he squandered a big opportunity to enact lasting change with his mandate but his personally favourability will carry with time

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@GregCowanST 4th in the west and we actually win a playoff series

mvp: obv george but aside from him mbuyi

breakout: zurawski makes the leap

unsung hero: elliot arnett is going to eat some serious minutes

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@stayhotpod jayden daniels rookie season was a fluke caused by kliff somehow getting him 9 yards on every screen and the luckiest 4th down season of all time. he is going to come hurtling back down to earth this year and people putting him top 5 at the position are delusional

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@GemOfAmara ok but he made hot sauce from nitrile gloves which was cool

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@GemOfAmara pacers

[tyson @tyson_wilkins]

@whiproute @cleve989 never had one, no strong opinions either way
