I'm here, I'm bored
That would be beyond idiotic. FFS. The upside in Frolov was so clear for anyone who watched. He could be a top pair guy in 2 years when they go on their run.
Heard Podrekar but who knowSomeone mentioned a depth player maybe coming to Niagara us that from Flint or Barrie
I said that and it’s newton. why would flint want an import when they have 2 .
I’d be shocked if it wasn’t Frolov
Right now Flint only has 1..... committed.
Unless you know something about the D man from Finland coming?
The only reason I could see Flint wanting Podrekar is that Flint has only signed their second-round import pick, not their first who is a D, maybe that signals he isn't coming and they could want an older defenceman to fill Bertucci's spot. I'm not saying he isn't because I don't know either way, just a thought.
From Niagara's perspective, trading Podrekar would be much smarter than trading Frolov as Frolov could be an important piece in a year or two when they will be looking to contend. At the same time, Podrekar likely will move on from the ohl after this season because he would be an OA.
But if you have heard Frolov I wouldn't be shocked at all as you have quality sources and Iceodgs often make questionable moves
They would have to release the 1st round pick for a decent but not great import, why would flint do that, they wanted Frolov the entire time
no but he’s too good to release for a good but not great import d. I don’t think flint would have agreed unless Frolov was included
As always thanks! Your info is top notch, looking forward to seeing what's announced tomorrow.
If Niagara gets Newton & Brauti for Frolov, they did more than alright imo. We will just need to see how the whole trade breaks down
I don't know but I would assume something goes to Flint on barries behalf or else I assume Icedogs would just trade with Barrie upright
two separate trades. Frolov may already be better then Brauti
The moves the IceDogs make often appear to be designed to rid the team of expensive scholarships. Last season the IceDogs made two trades with London where they grossly overpaid. Both those trades involved moving US born players (with expensive US scholarships) to London. London then played those US players for a handful of games before releasing them.
Frolov was a second round pick and if he demanded a gold scholarship package before signing, I could see the owner wanting to exchange him for a "cheaper" defenceman.
If they trade Frolov, arguably the best defenseman on the team, then we should demand that the owner go with him. #SELLTHETEAM

There's two Newtons on Barrie is there not? Has it been specified which one is headed to Niagara?
Frolov was selected in the 2nd round 2023 #28. Newton was selected in the 5th round 2022. #93

OHL4 life referenced the Newton as a fringe depth player (Nolan)
‘Brauti and a fine young forward’ means the 26th selected ‘07 not the ‘05-5th round pick to me
