Import picks can now be traded.....think Garrett Wilson

I'm glad that rule is back, not sure why they ever got rid of it. There were some blockbusters back in the day, like Kitchener and Plymouth swapping Tatar for Landeskog and a bunch of picks, only for Tatar not to report.

With it being a wild west year and there being a number of good imports candidates from the USHL who might be eager to come north, I hope they swing for the fences on the first pick. Sykora's team has two that would be big upgrades, particularly Oliver Murnieks if he'd report. Would give us three awesome 08's to build around.

Import Draft....confirmed 3 Imports spots per team....just my two cents but I would bring Rafik back and select 1st and 2nd round

100% rafik a late birthday and had 27pts in 38 games in MHL before coming to the OHL (I believe that’s the equivalent of OHL for Russia, or I may be getting VHL and MHL mixed up)
 
Could someone give me a little insider info regarding your fan club? Perks, prices, etc…

Is it crazy to think that OS could be a top 4 team in the Western Conference next year? Or am I jumping the gun a bit

London, Kitchener, Windsor will be in the mix. After that anyone of Guelph, Soo or Owen Sound will likely fall in the next group. Maybe even Flint. OS could be top 4 but I see them as a bit young next year but the year after they will be right there.

Totally agree. Maybe a good import and a player like Sykora commits could change that but too many what ifs still to play out before we can confidently say they take that significant of a step next season.

Maybe if you buy at deadline and George isn’t traded you’ll be top 4. Otherwise I don’t see it. 6/7/8 somewhere and George traded at deadline for a HAUL.

Also would be a MASSIVE mistake not to take advantage of the value of George so if I’m an Owen sound fan- I’m hoping for the biggest package ever and 1 of if not both of your backup goalies to surprise out of training camp (Koprowski/Bennett)

Maybe they keep George until deadline and whoever plays backup shadows George and learns from what will likely be the best goalie in junior hockey next year.
 
London is losing a lot of pieces I see them having a rough ish year, will Kitchener be the same without parsons? I doubt it, Windsor will be solid, the SOO might be decent, Saginaw who knows, flint maybe.. Erie won’t be nearly as good, I’m saying it’s in play to be a top 4 team in the west. But that’s just my thoughts.

Windsor 1 big time buyers at deadline

Kitchener 2 should retool at deadline bringing in players that can play the following year and swapping the ones that won’t (mem cup bid) little confusing but they’re clearly the favourite to host thus far

Soo 3 should be buyers at deadline

Sarnia 4 young guys going to have a big leap- should be conservative buyers at deadline

London 5 even in an off year they still have decent pieces and will get some guys to commit, also Dale Hunter.

Guelph 6 but trades Luchanko if he’s back- conservative sellers

Owen Sound 7 (assuming George is traded at some point) conservative sellers

Flint 8 should try and build around this draft class- losing decent OA’s, clattenburg gone, maybe mccue too? conservative sellers

Saginaw 9 if misa, Parekh, Chernyshov all don’t return which IS possible. Also losing mangone. If any of those guys return they’ll likely be traded anyways. Likely sellers

Erie 10 I think they lose Schaefer to NHL, already lost Spence who was gonna be back and they could’ve traded. Erliden gone, fimis, Alfano, Misiak etc- should be big sellers if they have a brain

Not at all absurd; take a look at what the Rangers accomplished this past season. While most hockey analysts predicted they wouldn't make the playoffs, they ended up with the second-highest point total.

London will not be the powerhouse next season that they had been the last three years. However, to count them out will be a big mistake. London had players, very good players, developing at the A's and B's leagues. Players who are now ready to come in and take the relief. Like their first rounder of a year ago Logan Hawery, and other up-and-coming young stars like Jaxon Cover, Brody Cook and Cohen Bidgood and more, plus imports. All were developed under the guidance of Mark Hunter, and had been coming up to practices with the big club all season. London will not be as strong in the standing for lack of experienced, but will certainly be above the middle of the pack by season's end.

I wouldn’t have Sarnia or Guelph ahead of OS but that’s just me.. and London will be closer to 6-8 seed, losing those types of players you can’t replace that.. Windsor will be a force, Kitchener will be good, and the SOO after that who knows

A down year for London is 3rd or 4th. It never fails that they are competitive.
