With the trade Barrie just pulled of, one has to wonder the cost of Konnor Smith at the deadline

If you ask the Barrie GM, it'd cost Owen Griffin and a bunch of picks apparently lol

You are either a player or a pretender

And if you asked the Barrie GM about the cost of Barlow, he would say too much.
Somehow prices keep going up. All of Wakley, Leenders, Barlow, Rehkopf could be considered over pays.

Could just be the way the Market is moving these days. What was once considered overpaying could now just be the norm.

DeGray said he wanted the same return Peterborough got for McTavish in 2022 (2 players, 6 picks) and that's exactly what he got.

How does Danford look?

I think you can be a player without badly overspending and limiting your teams “win window”

You can’t just make things up lol. Barrie made multiple offers for Barlow, they were just told no because they didn’t have the pieces needed because OS didn’t like Moses and that’s all Barrie has player wise until Jan 1.

And not really can you say the others were overpays because cost goes on precedent and in the past all of Barlow, Rehkopf and Leenders type Team Canada World Junior players have gone for much more than what they went for this year, and that’s usually for half a season of them whereas Oshawa/Brampton got them for a full season (Leenders for 2 full years)

The -3, not so much

The plus minus stat has always been a questionable measure of productivity and capability.

What’s better? No stats and you are +3 or no stats and -3?

Are you now saying Barrie did not overpay because Moses is not good and the picks just 4th, 5th? And saying Barrie GM thought too much was asked for Barlow as evidenced by making multiple offers that OS did not like?

Goals and assists

Sounds like Isaac Gravelle will get his 1st OHL start tonight in the road in Sarnia.

 

[Millpond]

Delisle elevated to starting C tonight.
He has been as advertised, a firecracker. A real asset to the Attack.

I'm hearing Bedkowski maybe a few weeks out yet .
