Is this for North America or overall?

Overall

From the article
The real story of this preliminary list is the dominant presence of North America. Of the 32 players listed, only six play outside of North America! And of those six, one is confirmed to be coming to the WHL in Radim Mrtka, while another, Ivan Ryabkin, is rumoured to be considering playing in the USHL. Simply put, it’s not a strong crop of prospects out of Europe.

Pobezal who received an honourable mention might want to consider playing here on Kitchener sooner than later. Or not.
 
Great article getting to know Avry Anstis a bit more in The Record today.

He's aiming to make his debut by the end of the month and had his eyes set on the Rangers during his draft season as the place he would want to go in the OHL. His agent (Sean Coffey) and Mike McKenzie were apparently teammates in college!

I’m starting to wonder about this team. Maybe we still deal Ando. But keep the OA’s and see what these guys can do?

Sunday will be a test.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Unless we get a king's ransom for Ando and/or Swick maybe we hang on to them. A deep playoff run with such a young team has to be worth more than a few draft picks.

I understand what you're saying but I think we need to finish the rebuild. I suspect the second half of the season this team will drop in the standing.

100% we have to continue the rebuild. Andonovski will bring top dollar at the deadline. But if Swick and Miseljevic aren’t in demand, or we can’t get fair value for them, I wouldn’t lose a lot of sleep hanging onto them.

But, make no mistake, if there are teams out there willing to give us our asking price for them, I’m trading them.
 
I'm honestly baffled we are here again. I went into this year thinking it would be a battle to get points due to the growing pains of relying on such a young team.... Turns out they are a solid team and really fun to watch.

This has been fun and I'm going to just keep enjoying it.

Think we need a return for Ando, and get something for one of Swick/Missle.
 
At some point before the Christmas break they’ll have to get rid of a body or 2 from of the bottom 6. Arquette, Stark, and Anstis will be ready by the end of the month. Headrick by January.

Sudbury has not won in regulation at the aud since 1995 31-0-1-1

Can we all agree that Jussi Ahokas should be drawing a lot of attention from pro teams?

When you look at the roster and compare it to last years team they have a much worse roster. Yet they are playing at a better rate. Yes their is still plenty of the season to go and things can change but when a team overachieves this much a lot has to do with the coaching.

Cameron, and LaBrash IIRC, are on JrB rosters. When all the forwards are healthy, these two will see minutes at JrB, though I think LaBrash probably deserves to be here exclusively.

Moving one or both OA’s could help. But we may have to take an OA back the way we did Mutter in the Xhekaj deal. But one returning OA should be a D to fill Ando’s spot.
