Meanwhile, Wes gets to tell the faithful there are no problems with Edgar reporting? I understand taking the high road, but as an agent I'd find a succinct way of saying there have never been any discussions about his player reporting to Niagara.
It's not really his agents problem to care about their front office lying to their fans, his client isn't going to play there so what difference does it make for him?
If I was talking to other teams, I wouldn't want Niagara saying I was going there. Especially if Niagara had done zero homework or had been told "no thanks" from the onset.
You think other teams are going to believe the agent of the player whos working directly with the player or the shady organization? It literally doesn't matter to them what Niagara says at all.
I can’t see any of the top players being happy that they were drafted by the IceDogs. Let’s be honest. If your kid got drafted by the IceDogs, would you want him to leave home at 16 years old and play for the IceDogs. I know I wouldn’t. What a mess this organization has become.
I did a quick double-checked with the individual who msg me that Caden Bell was not there. He told me the program listed Bell as #5 and he claims there was no #5 on the ice. Was he wearing a different number perhaps?
If we have new ownership, I believe fans (myself included) would support a regroup / retool year to get this franchise moving in the right direction on and off the ice.
And with the delay in acknowledging the dumpster fire they allowed to burn under their watch, the OHL should grant the new owners a compensatory first round pick to restart the franchise.
Assuming they’d be trading picks for the guy- would Saginaw make sense? They got a crap ton of picks from us when we traded for 3 of their guys.
Not fair to the other teams in the league. It isn't their fault Niagara has been run by morons.
You were the guy saying the other teams know Edgar isn't reporting. So if every team knows the score and every team owner forms part of the Board of Governors, then in effect the teams are the OHL. They let Niagara happen by not stepping in sooner. How many years did they laugh while Niagara had no leadership and they took full advantage. A compensatory pick is fair.
It is partially their fault. The Board of Governors have to approve new ownership groups.
Fair and reasonable, just unlikely. We all know the OHL turned a blind eye to Niagara. Hell, most of them chuckled as DD stumbled his way around, or took full advantage of his idiocy. Nobody said THAT was fair or reasonable for the players, fans or staff. Good luck getting the OHL to admit they fanned the flames of the dumpster fire they perpetuated, but a lawsuit would find them liable.
