dirty12, I did not see two 4th round picks for Flint.
shows in hf boards draft pick database. I’ll believe the Flint website

I stand corrected. Continue; Flint’s own 4th this year has been showing on the OHL database for several months. If you read the Guelph website, it says the Storm are sending Flint a 4th round this year as well.shows in hf boards draft pick database. I’ll believe the Flint website
Still trying to wrap my head around the trading of our 2 Nd round pick. I understand we got some high future picks in return but. Alarms me we only have 2 picks in the top 52. Is a mid 3rd rounder going step into the roster? Not according to scouts. After top 35 talent pool drops off. Also a lot of top Americans- who you can’t bank on coming to the ohl.Flint’ 2020 picks after Guelph trade:

I've always thought that not drafting top American players, who I feel are more likely to find Flint an attractive OHL destination, is an area where Flint has regularly dropped the ball on draft day.....Also a lot of top Americans- who you can’t bank on coming to the ohl.

It’s pretty simple. A 2nd rounder is unlikely to play a significant role this year. That player can’t be traded. The future picks can though. It’s a clear signal Barclay intends to take a run again next year.....if there’s an OHL season.Still trying to wrap my head around the trading of our 2 Nd round pick.

Yeah. Othmann was NOT gonna be moved but the kid taken at #16 this year very well could.I'd be shocked to see who ever they take at #16 on the roster all season.
They traded the 2nd round pick for more ammo, Id expect to see a couple solid additions to the team.
That's EXACTLY why any visits that may have happened would be all the more telling.I would have to guess there wasnt or werent much visits due to the world issues at hand. And alot of the families having to travel out of country or too far domestically.
Isn’t the border closed? It’s probably mostly just guys assuming and guessing, but they were posting that this year’s draft is gonna be old school bare bones style with none of the usual photo shoots and in person interviews and whatnot. I think they need to land a sure thing recruit (which should be easier this year) with the 1st round pick and find a highly likely to commit goalie in the top 5/6 rounds. I’m fine with taking flyers on some Americans but I wouldn’t suggest doing that until the 4th or later this year. It’s one thing to gamble a couple times when you’ve got 8 picks in the first 5 rounds, but when you’ve got 5 or less....play a little less risky.That's EXACTLY why any visits that may have happened would be all the more telling.
Border is closed unless essential business. I doubt a 15 year old that is being drafted into a hockey league is "essential business" here in the US. We have a coworker at our office who is not allowed back for another 2 weeks because they were in Florida for the previous 2 weeks. And if I am a parent right now, i would not risk going across any border let alone leaving my home state/province.
Any thoughts on who the 'Birds select tomorrow morning? Better yet...anybody know of any projected first-rounders who might have been seen around the Dort lately???
Well...I'm gonna get proven either right or wrong here. A Michigan kid who played his youth hockey in Michigan.
