Peterborough Petes 2023-24 Off-Season Thread

[Petes1987]

don’t forget Alexander Hage and Tyler Hopkins

Alexander Hage is a possibly. I doubt there is anything truth to the Tyler Hopkin’s trade rumours.

When do you think we might see another signing or two and what do you think we might look for in this import draft?

I think in the Import Draft the Petes will likely take the best player available that will come to Peterborough. I think the needs are at centre, right winger and defence. They have enough left wingers.

BPA for sure. Wouldn’t even rule out a goaltender

Unfortunately the import draft is more like best recruitable player not BPA.

So happy for Michael Simpson !!!!

Only the third goalie to ever to go back to back with different teams

But I would have been happy for Lockhart too

I do gotta say he looked a heck of a lot better raising the trophy in Maroon and White.

Sounds like we won’t be seeing Alex Hage in Peterborough next season, unfortunately.

What is the latest information on him?

What is the latest information on him?

I hear he will be in Chicago at least to start, next season.

 

[Ryan Christensen]

He's a late USHL pick we took a flyer didn't work out move on

 

[Corso]

Interesting....I'm really wondering if Chicago's two tender signings will both show. If Hage really is playing for the Steel this fall then I wonder which of the two tenders defected to the OHL?

he’s not good enough for Chicago. I think he’s going to prep school but I could be wrong

I’m confused are they only allowed 2 ohl tenders?

I searched it up and 2 players they have tendered right now are croskery and Valentini. If there only allowed 2 tenders you’d have to think they keep those 2

Hague was a Chicago steel draft pick

They are allowed only two tenders and they can draft 16 year olds in the Future's draft but most teams only have one or two 16 year olds play with them through out the season. It would be rare for Valentini, Croskery and Hage to all start the season in Chicago so I am speculating that if Hage was told they had a spot for him then one of the tenders must be planning to defect to the OHL. My guess would be Valentini.

Yes I know but I was saying was if they’re only allowed 2.

At the draft croskery was easily a top 2 d man in the draft according to most and Valentini was easily a top 3 player in the draft.

Wouldn’t it make sense to keep them over Hage if they can only keep 2. I have no idea how the ushl works so I was just asking about it.

 

[HockeyPops]

I don't think Chicago would purposely take Hage over them... I think the implication was the if one of them was choosing a different league then Chicago might have room for Hage.

I believe USHL teams can roster 4 non-US players, plus an additional 2 Canadians that to not count against the limit

I think it is premature to close the door on him signing with the Petes. First I don’t think he has signed with his USHL team so he could still show up at training camp and decide the OHL is the best option for him. The more likely scenario is him signing with the Petes in a year or two particularly if he is drafted into the NHL and they think playing OHL hockey is best for his development.

you think hes an nhl draft pick? the nhl is about hard skill not small soft skill.

if chicago thought hage was a ushl player, they would have just tendered him. hage wants to be there desperately, but hes not ready.

do you think I just make stuff up for fun? I’ve been told he won’t play for the Petes next season. It’s very likely Chicago or for a prep school before making the jump to Chicago the following season.

My guess is he came the development camp because he knew he would get media attention and him and his brother seem like the type to just grab any bit of attention they can get since his brother did the same with Kitchener. I assume the Petes took a flyer because they hoped the connection with Taylor might give them a shot.

Exactly. When was the last time the Petes took a flyer in the mid to later rounds and it worked out?

 

[Section5Petes]

Well it was a fun couple months thinking Hage would one day join the Petes
