Hearing Oshawa will be bringing in a 05 Defensemen and shipping out a 06 Defensemen in 2 different trades in the morning.
Surely to God they wouldn’t consider trading Ben Danford. Not only is he their best defenceman, he’s quite possibly a first round pick in this year’s NHL draft which means an influx of cash for the franchise.
If Danford is traded, everyone associated with the team should be immediately fired.
I’d fully support trading Lucas Rodriguez - - he’s barely seen the ice in two seasons and nobody would even notice he was gone.
I’d be ok with trading Fraser McDonnell, although I rate him significantly higher than Rodriguez. Really like his physical game and he can be a useful OHL defenceman if given the opportunity for some ice time.
That leaves David Bedkowski. I hate the idea of trading him. Unless they’re getting a better defenceman to replace him AND also upgrading draft picks, it makes ZERO sense to get older and lose a year of eligibility. Bedkowski is also a December birthday which adds to his value.
This has the potential to be a very dumb idea by Oshawa.
