Playing on the best team in the CHL should be all the enticement that he needs, but it can't hurt.
Weird, thought Sarnia had the number one spot in the CHL

Case can be made for both sides lol. Sarina is indeed 1st but the hounds have a better winning percentage playing one less game. You're both right lol.
I dont see raddysh using his NTC at all. He very well could but if he has the opportunity to go play for a team that can make another run he seems like the guy that would gladly go, regardless of team. Combine that with the Raddysh family being connected to erie and Dave Brown for 5.5 years. The family is humble and classy and Taylor understands what Dave did last year in particular to chase a title. He knows we need the assets. I see him telling Dave he will go anywhere that Dave feels is the best offer. That's just the type of guy Taylor is. Not a diva. Besides it would be a move that only lasts 3 to 5 monthsFowler, couple 2 2nd rounds , conditional picks. That could definetly interest Erie for Raddysh.
I hear talk that Raddysh and Katchouk have been keeping close contact, i wonder if the NTC comes into effect for Taylor , if he WANTS to be in SSM.
Tha Tampa bay connection has to be enticing
We don’t get to have nice things very often...let us roll with this please lol.
You have to give up top London prospects to get high end vets. Are the players you mentioned above in that category?London Knights Current Assets:
2018 2nd, 3-2018 3rds, 2018 4th, 2019 2nd, 2019 3rd, 2-2020 2nds, 2020 3rd, 2022 2nd, 2022, 3rd, 2023 3rd, 2024 2nd, Lucas Rowe, Liam Foudy, Billy Moskal, Richard Whittaker, Harrison Cottam, Josh Nelson,Cole Tymkin, Alex Turko, Jacob Golden, Tim Fallowfield, Tyler Rollo(OA)
with the above assets could the Knights trade for a some of these players listed: Taylor Raddysh, Aaron Luchuk, Jalen Smereck(OA), Brent Mckenzie(OA), Justin Brazeau, Cam Dineen, Riley Stillman, Matt Brassard, Logan Brown, Sean Day, Dimtry Sokolov(Import),Michael Pezzetta, Cole Candella
We need more! lolYeah, fans of non-contending teams need to get on this Sarnia bandwagon. Sting fans deserve a deep run! They've won one playoff series in the modern OHL. London has won 27.
Some would be considered our high end prospectsYou have to give up top London prospects to get high end vets. Are the players you mentioned above in that category?
Raddysh and Headrick to SSM after the WJC are over make a lot of sense to me. Maybe Fowler and three 2nds? Headrick the hometown boy, slick puck moving RD that would really cement SSM's d-core, and they have an open OA spot. Raddysh is possibly the best forward that will be on the market and from what I've read from some SSM fans it seems like he'd be a good fit. He's turned into a great all-around player and has championship experience.
I think this is a deal the Otters would be satisfied with while SSM would add two terrific players for a championship run without completely breaking the bank.
Sarnia won’t be dealing Rees. No way in hell.

You could have made that case about Erie with McShane last season and they still did it because they saw a chance to go all-in for a title.
If Erie moves Raddysh and doesn't get a 2001 forward in return I will be pretty displeased.
my initial response to this is that SSM has better defense and similar depth currently.Not sure why a few of you seem to think Sarnia needs Raddysh or Brown. What they need is D. They need a Dineen or Day. Sarnia has a luxury most teams don’t...and that’s depth. Their forward group is the deepest in the league.
Sarnia’s struggles are in the defensive zone not being able to settle down the play and move the puck up the ice. Too much mad scrambles in our own end that lead to prime scoring chances for the opponent. A puck moving d man is what Sarnia needs more then anything by far.
Sorry to burst that big bubble but I think the SOO team presently assembled would have given Erie a run and possible beat last years squadmy initial response to this is that SSM has better defense and similar depth currently.
Yes Sarnia is good right now but this is november. Championship teams are assembled through trades as well. And no team right now would really give last year's Erie, and in my opinion London/OS from a run for their money. They are all good but I don't see it as elite right now
SSM or OS adds Raddysh and Sarnia makes no top counter moves on offense, those teams will have more depth/better firepower up front. And if OS adds that netminder they are in better shape. And if London gets Mete back and starts buying,.. look out. Yeah sure Sarnia doesnt really need Raddysh or Brown now, but if the other top teams add those guys (and they probably will if Sarnia doesnt) then Sarnia can no longer claim they have the best offense. SSM supposedly had the deepest/most explosive offense last year...until Erie added Cirelli/Foegele and SSM did nothing.

Peddling your own agenda will not improve return on your players unfortunately.
... unrelated but a package of burghardt and dineen would plug both holes
You want a mem cup u have to pay to playSarnia won’t be dealing Rees. No way in hell.
Did Erie not make any additions last year? Erie was good but also luck plays a big part of hockey. The Soo this year would have gave a lot of good teams of the past problems including Erie last year. I agree they were the team to beat last season but not sure they had as great a system as the Soo has this season and their goal tending is probably better than Erie had last year.debate for another day and pointless..but probably not. SSM is good but like every team, every year, they arent winning a championship unless they make trades. They would not have the firepower to match up to Erie last year. Probably not even OS. And maybe not even Parsons and London the way that kid stood on his head in the playoffs. Parsons was as good as I have ever seen at the junior hockey level. I'll never forget how great that kid was. WoW
Yes, if SSM adds 2 big pieces by January. ... I will surely be all in on them being in that elite category. But right now? stop. Sometimes all you need to look at are stats. SSM with 6 forwards over 0.58 ppg, 3 over 1.00 ppg. Erie last year with 8 forwards over 0.82 ppg and 5 forwards over 1.00. Also the Debrincat impact. Let's not get crazy now and forget how much erie dominated puck possession. They just had horrible goaltending form March-May. Yet were a goal away from overcoming that..because thats how good they were in every other area.
