Mississauga's 07 that can be traded is Ivankovic and I'd be floored if that was even considered for Peer. It would likely require a bigger move and... I just don't see it. Outside of Van Volsen, is there an 06 that would fit what Windsor needs? I'm not sure. They have lots of picks, esp 2nds in 2025, but I'd want a player in return, too
Ottawa doesn't have a ton of picks but maybe a guy like Hilton, who's a bigger 06 that plays physical. Windsor could use that. Do the 67's deal him and a couple of picks for Peer? I don't know. They also have Caden Kelly, an 06 who was chosen with one of the picks Ottawa got for Maggio. He had a solid U16 season, offensively, so maybe he could breakout?
Brantford is basically Peer's backyard (Burlington). The issue with them is that they're 04 and 05 heavy. Two of their three 06s are former first rounders, which I doubt they move for Peer. Maybe they look at Cole Brown, who's a large 05? He's a NJ pick, though, so he might only have one more season. If they could find a way to get Tester or Vanacker, along with a pick (the Bulldogs have picks in nearly every round for the next few seasons), it's something to look at.
I don't see Mancini being moved; he's really stepped up as a leader and I like his overall attitude off the ice. Abraham's future is in his own hands. He's done well over the last week or so. If he can continue that until the deadline, I see his value next season as an OA. If this success is the exception and not the rule, then you deal him for something reasonable, given he's an 04.
Maillet could be moved but I'm not sure they get the value they need for him.
As important as the last month has been to getting this team together and moving in the right direction, I think the two weeks btwn Boxing Day and the deadline are going to be just as important for the team.
