Oh my god captain obvious I get the point but fact is this team will be good enough that there’s no guarantees that pick makes it

I can guarantee that your fact is not in fact a fact.

It is your opinion ...

Please don’t refer to facts as facts when they are not facts lol

HAHAHAHA

Time for bed!

And ps, Many don’t agree with your ‘fact’.
In my OPINION, this team, one year older and wiser and stronger, with its current group of players, add in 2 rookies and maybe 2 imports, is no where near good enough to win it all, without significant deadline acquisitions ...

OHL Prospects trade deadline and comments on our team. per twitter.....

Niagara IceDogs
In: Sam Miletic, SBY 3 2018, WSR 7 2019
Out: Zach Shankar, PBO 2 2018, NIAG 3 2022, NIAG 2 2024, NIAG 2 2025
Analysis: Love the subtle Sam Miletic pick up made the IceDogs. Niagara has taken over first place in the division from Barrie and is positioned to give their young roster some serious playoff experience. Niagara is competing for a Conference championship a year earlier than most would have expected, so why not do what you can to make sure this young roster gets a ton of playoff exposure to make them even better next year when they could be the best team in the Conference? Miletic brings grit and playoff experience and the early results are tremendous (7 points in 3 games). Sure they had to give up some draft picks, but Niagara has a ton and the picks they gave up are mostly far into the future. Subtle, but excellent trade deadline.
Grade: B+

Joey may have traded away this year's second round pick, but, in return along with Miletic, we get a 3rd round pick that we did not have to start with.
Now, being that the 3rd round is a Sudbury pick, we will most likely have the first pick in the 3rd round right at after the last player picked in the 2nd round.
Might just be a nice pick up there.
The 7th round pick came via the Shankar deal

Just my thought

Should’ve been next year, not this year, that’s all

And I wouldn’t say that we exactly have a ‘tonne’ of picks ..

Maybe not a ton but I think the point is more than enough to do whatever it is they want next year

[retired/sectionJ]

A lot of people who are paid to watch hockey or extra income for a living seem to like the trade.
I do.
As written above, this team should get a wealth of experience in a good run this year and will be to their advantage next year.

Not all that I read thought it was such a great idea ...

So I’m curious what makes this trade a worthwhile disposition of assets ...

Division banner?
First round win?
Second round win?
Conference banner?
Loss in finals?

I say this in all seriousness ...

I think anything short of appearing in the conference finals would mean IMHO that this trade wasn’t worth the cost ...
