Move along where... please explain.... It is still a business... whose? His ability to counter is to say no. What is still the best thing for Owen... better hockey longer??? Who are you, the hockey mafia? :DD Look I have nothing wrong if he decides to move to Saginaw, I'm just saying he is within his rights to deny a move... IF THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS!
just bumped for a new page.

These OHL teams don’t give a shit about the kids so it’s nice to see one of the kids taking the power back and not letting these pricks dictate where they play. Good for you Owen!
AMEN! I've seen enough to tell any US prospect to stay south of the border, go USHL NAHL and NCAA where you aren't traded like meat! Its one thing when you are a pro making dollars, but this turns me off.

Yeah if there's one thing the NCAA is known for its how it's never exploited it's student athletes.
you're free to go where ever you want, at any time you want, and they CAN't ship you anywhere you don't want to go. I don't recall any draft in the NCAA's

I'd be a fool to say that the NCAA's are not tainted as well. Boston College has 7 players on the US Worlds Junior Championship team... I would be nieve to say that any will graduate with a degree from BC... that is THEIR choice... it was offered to them.

He had 1 point at the world Jrs and is barely over a point a game in the OHL this season. He totally still can prove he can be an elite offensive player in the OHL. He hasn’t done so up until this point as a Pete. Great two way player 100%. But working on his offensive game is what is going to move him from a 3 c in the nhl to a top 2 line center.
He has produced offensively for the Petes this year. He has 16 goals and 14 assists for 30 points in 25 games. With no numbers he is on pace for a 80 point plus season and over 40 goals.

So stating the GM of Sag doesn’t prioritize finding Defensemen gets removed by the moderators? What kind of board is this?

I agree, the OHL, owners, and GM's are in this for them and that is it. They know they own these kids and lie all day to their face. I hope Beck sticks to his guns and sends a message and doesn't approve the trade. Peterborough messed up by making deals for him without checking with his agent or him on if he would wave his NTC. While Saginaw is sitting and waiting they are missing out on other available players. Saginaw should have moved on as soon as they figured out this deal was delayed. Or maybe they have figured it out yet.

Or maybe nobody waived a NTC because the deal hasn't even been agreed upon yet. "insiders" have sources that are sometimes wrong, sometimes intentionally to try and create misinformation for distraction purposes and sometimes because things can change in a phone call between 2 gm's.

Parekh, Dioncio, Donovan is quite the top 3. Gonna be so interesting to see how they adjust as they all are used to having/carrying the puck a ton.

What a squad you guys have assembled. Will be such a fun team. Enjoy it! Best of luck.
