True but Saginaw has virtually everyone back next season so they can swing on the second first if they want with minimal consequences. At that point if he’s there take him and try to recruit him. They’re basically picking in the second round at that point anyway.
I agree OMG but I'm hoping the Petes do that with the #6 pick for all the same reasons you mentioned
Its the OHL, the fans don't know any rule unless it's because they've seen it happen lol. Transparency and the OHL don't exactly go hand in hand
It is frustrating how much information is not available........although not likely, I'm hoping at some point they publish the specific conditions on conditional draft picks included in trades.Have to give the OHL credit. They have posted on media notes the the trade deadline is open until 3pm Thursday. It has been a long time pet peeve of mine that they don't keep their fans informed of trade deadlines and such. Hopefully they have heard us whine and will continue with this policy/ posting of the dates
they are seriously considering itThis may be a crazy idea, but what if the Petes draft Hage at #6 then trade him to another team (hmm.....London?) for a bunch of future picks + they would receive the #7 pick in the 2023 draft (to go along with their other 1st round pick....#20). The future picks could then be used at the deadline to get players they need to go for a championship.
Not the best plan… most teams ask for the latest drafts first rounder via trade. If you don’t have one to offer up most teams will likely look elsewhere
Yes, but the Petes got Akil Thomas for 2nd year 2nd rounder Cam Butler and picks…..so it’s doable, especially with all of the depth/youth the Petes have
Why would the Petes risk taking Hage? He could potentially enjoy his time in Chicago and just stay that route for his NHL draft year and then you’re not even going to be able to trade him for compensation.
1st time around you get a 1st round back if you fail to get the kid to report which I can't imagine why they wouldn't the following season it drops to a 2nd and failing that 3rd etc. The lowest you will get back will be a 4th round pick but like I said you'd have to have a GM who was insane to pull that stunt 3 years in a row.
not sure its happening, just saying they are considering it. i think van volsen is an option too
If the Petes know that Hage wants to go to a particular team (that rhymes with Flundon Snights) and would go to that team this upcoming year instead of the USHL, then draft him and trade him to the Snights.If Petes believe they have enough fwds and dmen coming back, and they can compete for playoff spot next year, then they can use Hage to lure the team out of the weeds and trade him for a king's ransom and be set for the year after.
Unfortunately, that makes too much logical sense for the Petes.
I would be very surprised if the 67's don't take a forward with their first pick. Might go D at #21 though.
