Lol. We already have two of B. McConnell-Barker so we are used to it. I wouldn't want to put your fan base under that kind of pressure though. We will think up another deal to help you out.

If you can deal with having to keep track of which one is T. Hayes and which one is G. Hayes I guess we could try and keep track of J. Martin and B. Martin.

I love announcers trying to manage Petrovsky and Petrovski in Owen Sound. That has to suck so hard when trying to call games.

Honestly, anytime I hear any national broadcasters talk about OHL players I am convinced that literally anybody on these boards could do a better job with analysis. That is saying a lot.

They always talk about Gavin playing a heavy game but he really doesn’t.

Depends what your definition of heavy is, Gavin is comfortable carrying the puck through the tough areas, doesn't end up on the wrong end of punishing checks, and wins a lot of positional and puck battles in front of the net which makes him difficult to play against. Very under valued in the OHL IMO, he is on pace for 90 pts this year which should have him at the top of most teams want list who are looking for size and scoring, IF Flint were to make him available (he will be in the AHL next year).
 
On the bright side that should kill any potential thoughts management had about trying to add this year. Move out Hayes and maybe Kressler or Giroux and make sure you get a stud 16 or 17yo in return. Jimmy Lombardi showed more effort and created just as much tonight as his two OA linemates.

That's a nice return for Gee. Who can't crack the top 6.

Keep selling.

That’s a decent return for sure. I’d rather they had moved Stojkov though and moved the rest of the kids up the lineup. I haven’t seen the development out of Marko I’d hoped for and question whether or not he’ll actually be OA material next year. McParlan has gotten good value but it’s been out of players who would certainly be on the roster next year. Time to move guys who won’t be returning.
 
Slavicek either didn’t make the Czech team or is getting held in the press box so far. Hayes with no points and Even in a 4-1 win over Norway. 0g 1a +1 in a 11-3 win over Switzerland.
 
Curious to see if Flache goes back to Day tonight. I’d like to see a little bit more of Brown but I don’t know if I’d like to see that start tonight. Noticed Flint has the worst home record in the league. I think it’s 3 home wins on the year?

Owen Sound opens up the trade gates moving ‘07 First Rounder Nico Addy and their import D for Konnor Smith and Sam McCue from Peterborough. That’s a team I wasn’t sure was gonna add this year. So they’re in now. Another team buying should bode well for Flint who better be #&@% selling in the next week or two.

I mean none of us want to ever see any of the boys moved unless they’re lifting the J. Ross Robertson Cup in another jersey but you could add Pitre to that list too. Don’t expect or want to see the brothers split up but watching Coulson play, he’s for sure not coming back next year. He’s a man. Way more complete and true power forward than Hayes or Keppen. May not be able to fight quite like Piercey but he’s a better Pro prospect by a bit.
