Suprised os so quiet

It feels like there's an awful lot riding on the import picks to fill two critical roles in C and RHD. If they hit on both picks then they are in pretty good shape but that draft has been fairly swing and miss in the past. The situation at C is exacerbated even further if they can't mend fences with Max Delisle. It would have been nice to have grabbed a Czata or Griffen on the trade front to just lessen the reliance on the import draft.

What's really left at C on the trade front now? Rogowski in Oshawa? Romano in Kitchener? The RHD situation isn't pretty either with MacNeil maybe being one of the best potential options? I'd imagine prices will go up with so few pieces potentially available.

correct, guelph is aggressive, youd think owen sound would have been ahead of the game. rooke gm maybe?

The biggest issue is trying to get kids to come to OS in trades.. I think that was a big issue last year with those two trades they made and they only got picks and no players.. it’s always been a problem with this organization.

Could be inexperience. Could also be confident in connections from the agency side of things that they can land quality European kids? They come out smelling like roses if they get two quality players through the import draft with picks they already owned but it's a pretty big risk.
