Overages for 2024-2025

[Petes1987]

The Peterborough Petes have reassigned Quinn Binnie. The Petes are down to four overages, Chase Lefebvre, Ryder MacIntyre, Jonathan Melee and Liam Sztuska.

Any updates on this list?

The list was most recently updated yesterday with all the preseason rosters being put out

I assume Pete’s trade Sztuska and roll with 2 of those guys and bring in an OA D? Rather than 3 OA F

Bowen is 19 now and they have rye/Johnson to back up. Some team should pay a decent package for Sztuska.

That was my initial thinking but with the acquisition of Matthew Jenken I think they will go with the three overage forwards.

I forgot about jenken. He is a d.

Of the 3 forwards who do you think they trade? I think Melee should get the most value of the 3 but I believe he’s also been there the longest

Assuming Sztuska is traded, I can’t imagine the Petes shuffle the remaining 3 OA forwards and acquire a different one assuming that’s what you mean

The only way I could see the Petes not trading Liam Sztuska is if they feel Zach Bowen cannot carrying the load as the starting goaltender. If they decide to keep him I would expect that Peterborough would keep the two forwards they think will contribute the most.

please disregard what I said. I thought jenken was an OA d man. I was wrong. He is an 05. I was confused about why they’d keep 3 OA forwards and then trade for an OA d but obviously I was wrong about that.

If Bowen can’t carry the load he won’t be here then. Might as well give the backup spot to Rye or Johnston

I fully expect one of Easton Rye or Masen Johnston to be the backup to either Zach Bowen or Liam Sztuska. If the Petes keep Sztuska I expect Bowen will be traded.

Just for transparency - Windsor Spitfires' OA candidate F Colton Smith has signed with the Leamington Flyers Jr B.

There is a post on the Kitchener Forum that has a screen shot from OHLRangersNation Instagram Account that suggests the OHL is going to change the overage rules. One item in the post is that a team could keep an overage goaltender that does not count against the three currently allowed. Has anybody know if this is on the table?

The 67’s have kept Michelone on the roster. To me, that made no sense. I couldn’t see a team out there looking to use an OA spot on a backup goalie. Michelone is fine, probably average or so, but I wouldn’t have thought he’d return as an OA. At first I thought the 67’s were trying to give him an opportunity somewhere and if he didn’t garner any interest then he’d get released at the end of the pre-seaosn.

With this news, I am thinking that the intention would be for him to be a backup or 3rd goalie as a safety net if the OA Goalie doesn’t count. To me, that makes a lot more sense. Then if you factor in the rumour of Flint approaching Ottawa and inquiring about MacKenzie when they already have Day, adding an OA Goalie that doesn’t count toward an OA roster spot would make that rumour more sensical.

The more odd things I am seeing and hearing make more sense with this particular potential rule change coming into effect. Those odd things aren’t quite as odd.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

That would be huge for London in keeping Willmore and Leonard, Sim, Julien.

 

[donjohnson]

You all think that they would make a change this significant right now??? Not a chance, this would be starting next season at earliest if it's even true at all.

its not happening, the rule had to be voted in in july

 

[dirty12]

When was the supposed rule change on trading first year imports voted on, and announced?
It was only a few weeks ago there was a joke made about Niagara claiming and trading Loshko to Barrie not knowing the actual traded player could be Eliasson, and that there was a rule change to allow it.

It is the OHL. Anything could happen!

honestly, not in this instance. they litterally cannot until the owners vote, and they have not and dont until next summer.

 

[Samee987]

wakley will be signing soon, he wont be back in nb for the start of the season, if at all

What's your definition of "soon"?

within the next lunar circle

With the rosters being set today I've updated the list to show every overager who's on an OHL roster right now. The list will continue to be updated throughout the season when trades/cuts happen. There are 71 OA's on opening night rosters

 

[Opinionated]

Interesting to note that a full half of the league is carrying an OA goalie.

Seems higher than in past years, but I haven't specifically tracked it.

 

[tjziel]

Ruslan Gazizov has signed an AHL deal with San Diego Gulls. He will not be returning anymore.

This got me interested, so I did some searching. OA goalies with at least 10 games played, since the covid season.
