Nothing wrong with paying a PDF if it makes the team stronger and fills in the missing pieces to compete in playoffs, Fred Page then RBC Cup.
Most teams are trying to be competitive but only CP, Ottawa, Hawkesbury and Brockville are scouting outside of this area adding good players. Kanata is doing well but drafting the best in the Midget draft and developing them.
Smiths Falls, Pembroke, Cornwall and Kemptville are all on a downward spiral in my opinion. Nepean, Rockland, Navan are all under new coaching staff so will see what they do second half before I evaluate. Navan in trades will be stronger in next few years because very young now.
This January deadline will help show who wants to make a good run and who just wants to sell more PDFs.
