Thank you Mr. Snider
Is Kitchener rumoured to make any trades?
Spott is trying but he doesn't have a lot to work with. I hope he'll be able to make a move, but it's iffy.

That's an offense with 5 players that will score 40-50 goals, with the others getting 20-30... sorry, but that is the best.
I was not a fan of the Mercer pick either, but how does trading him halfway through make it worse? Just hold to him for pride?
Lastly, the Majors are the favourite, but they aren't untouchable. Ice Dogs have the best goaltender in the OHL, and we're strong enough that if the bounced go their way, they can win. They're better than KIT and WIN, and on the same level as OTT and SAG. I suggest you watch some games and look at the standings before you insist that they are not contenders.
I will agree next year is likely to be their year, but Ottawa and Oshawa will be better also. 2 years from now? they'll be rebuilding again.
I don't think that offense will be as dangerous as a team like OTT, I'm sorry. Outside of Barrie last year, Ottawa has had the most dangerous offense in the past two years in the East, IMO.
Trading a first round pick after he's played less than 20 games, doesn't reflect well on the organization, IMO. Especially when it's coupled with a second rounder for a player that's not exactly a game-breaker, and IMO (though he will be a big part of their team next year, if true).
As for how Niagara stacks up against Mississauga, I just don't see it. I'd agree with Visentin being the best goalie in the O, but J.P. has to be a close second (even with Miss' system). As for team against team, they've played each other four times, the Majors winning each time. Niagara's only been able to score on them 3 or 4 times in total in those games, if memory serves. I can't see them beating Miss in a 7 game series (OTT is the only team that scares me in the East). As I said before, I think Niagara has tons of talent but their core is just too young to truly compete this year and they should have held off till next year, IMO.
Lastly, don't tell me to watch games, it makes you come of as childish and ruins a good conversation.
Current Paces..
Carnevale - 47 goals (if we get him)
Agozzino - 44 goals
Strome - 42 Goals
Archibald - 40 Goals
Friesen,Hamilton - Both 35 goals
sorry i meant to say 4-5 players. Hamilton could still very well pick up the pace playing wioth Strome.
(GUELPH) The Guelph Storm Hockey Club announced this afternoon that they have acquired centre Daniel Erlich from the London Knights.
The Thornhill native joins the Storm in exchange for a 2nd Round selection in 2011 (formerly Brampton's selection), Guelph's 2nd round pick in 2012 and Guelph's 5th round choice in the 2013 OHL Priority Selection.

Overpayment by Guelph IMO, they just keep loading up the '91s yet they're still not very good.
How the heck do you get a NTC in major junior?
What's with the talk about trading Mercer? Has he been that disappointing since recovering?
They are not that unusual, I think a lot of first rounders negotiate them into their contracts. I believe quite a few American players negotiate them in too when they play the NCAA card.
nobody is "untouchable" with Marty Williamson. He has traded away more first rounders than anyone in the last few years!
Cody Eakin traded from Swift Current to the Kootenay Ice for 8 players:
18-year-old Forward Christian Magnus and prospects Ryan Bloom (1993 Forward- Drumheller Dragons – AJHL), Jarett Zentner (1993 Forward - Calgary Mustangs – AJHL), Colby Cave (1994 Forward - Battleford Stars – SMAAAHL) and Steven Myland (1994 Goaltender - Valley West Hawks – BCMMHL) along with a first and second round draft pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft and a third round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.
According to what Kings GM Dean Lombardi has said, Schenn will be ready to go for the Blades in 7-10 days.
