St.Catharines Falcons puzzling moves
The Falcons have made some interesting recent moves. First it looked like they were throwing in the towel on this season when they dealt a pair of top players to Niagara Falls for a lot less talent in return. Then they added a veteran scorer from Fort Erie, and brought in a veteran D from a higher level. Those recent moves implies they plan on contending. But why make that trade with Niagara Falls, strengthening a potential future playoff opponent?

Sometimes there is a lot more to trades than the on-ice competitiveness. Not saying that was the case here but there are lots of variables that go into a trade!

A lot less talent (I don't think so I see two points difference between all four players) also the two players coming over from the falls know how to back check.Port hockey1 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 6:53 pm The Falcons have made some interesting recent moves.

Exactly. From what I've seen so far, I think St.Catharines definitely got the better of that deal.A lot less talent (I don't think so I see two points difference between all four players) also the two players coming over from the falls know how to back check.

Looks like Niagara Falls won that trade so far. Two straight wins over the Falcons. Falcons lost again in Hamilton tonight.

Looks like the Falcons added some grit. But he has to focus on the opposition, not the officials...

Re: St.Catharines Falcons puzzling moves
Wow. Why do the Falcons bring in these kind of players. A 5 minute penalty in a playoff game could cost a team the series.
