OJHL is normally the top jrA league in Ontario where 16-20 play. The top teams would likely smoke the US U16 teams. On top of that, the OJHL (rivalry games ie. Wellington-Kingston) are much more violent than OHL games.

I heard McCourt possibly playing Wednesday and Busby foot is still messed up and no return date set!
Bianconi will be back this week too right? McCourt and him back in the lineup would finally give us 6 solid.
Yeah, Vierling and Bianconi were beaten by Sweden for the Bronze in a shootout. Vierling missed on his shootout attempt (as did all Canadian Red players) so I assume he'll return healthy. You can say it for pretty much everybody but I thought Bangs had his best week as a Firebird this week.

Just amazing. Plays on Wednesday at least to get a shot on goal and then is packed up Friday/Saturday back home. I hope the 3 pics that the OHL website is quoting for Rowe is complete hog-wash. I would much prefer what both organizations both said as a conditional 3rd.
Lets hope with Biaconi and Vierling coming back this week our playing roster will almost be full. Espically if McCort is able to play. Hakon was walking very gingerly on 1 foot/leg as he left the arena Saturday night. Hope nothing is broken there. He could sit a few just to make sure if the other two are available.

Confusing stuff...Firebirds website says they gave up only a conditional 3rd round pick they had acquired from Hamilton...
Firebirds Transactions – Flint Firebirds
...but the OHL website says the Firebirds gave up two 2nd round picks in addition to the 3rd, with no asterisk to indicate that any of the picks are conditional...

Interesting, as Northville's Jason Robertson is supposed to have been on the trading block. Robertson is a '99, and would be an overager next year, but he should project to the AHL. Also, because he's a Dallas draft pick, and depending on who you listen to, Dallas isn't too big on having their prospects develop in Flint.
True. I’ve heard Dellandrea next to leave Flint for better development elsewhere

Congratulations to you and your family, what a cause for celebration!
Robertson will be completely emptying somebody's draft cupboard. Figure 3 2nd's and 3 3rd's +. It won't be Flint. What concerns me is "hearing Kingston". I know it's OHLInsiders and his track record is far from stellar but the Fronts are first up on the waiver wire after Flint. If there is ANY return for Rowe, getting dropped from his SECOND team has got to plummet his value.
I don't think Rowe going to Kingston has anything to do with Robertson going to Flint in a trade. Kingston might sign him because they are in need of warm bodies to fill a roster.
I would think Robertson will have a big say into where he is traded to if he does end up being moved.

I’m sure Kingston will do their homework on why Rowe is already on his 3rd team potentially, if it’s indeed true Kingston is looking at him. Morgan left Kingston to go to Windsor.
Wasn't much of a choice. He was traded as part of a block buster.
As for Lucas Rowe's worth on the trade market, I wouldn't bank on it being even close to what was paid for him which was a severe overpayment by a terrible general manager.
The best case scenario is some team still believes he can get it together, I mean he is 17 still and they pay accordingly too. But considering how bad BB has done in trades going back to his sudbury days, i think the other team is going to come out on top.
Congrats on the solid week last week. Hope it continues moving forward!

That's ridiculous.
Both initial reports were *conditional picks for Rowe.
I'd love someone to clarify all that.
A 12th in return?
