Dawn of the new Knights



The Key word at John Labatt Centre these days: Transition. It's a movement forward that will truly launch itself through the next OHL draft. Whether they make the picks or use them to attract assets in trade, the Knights are prime position to redefine a franchise in need of a fresh look. It's all because of the influx of draft selections coming back to London before the trade deadline. 9 were acquired on Monday, 12 if you count the 3 involved in the Daniel Erlich deal with Guelph.

Many compare what the Hunter's are doing right now with what they did 10 years ago. Back then they sell good parts for the potential of new, even better ones without stripping the cupboard completely bare. That results of that attempt are legendary. As for this time around? Well, let's find out. But don't bet against another impressive era from taking shape. And sooner rather than later.
