Do you minority members in the niagara icedogs forum get it yet now that this was a really stupid move yet??

Yea we understand why people didn’t like it cause they beat it to death but what happens when we do better than them with 4 less picks

Not sure Oshawa is a legitimate threat - they don’t have many notable 99s. The age demographics of their team fits the 2020 Championship Team model: Good OAs (99s), team core built around several 00s (some NHL drafted) and a couple elite 01s. They do have draft picks – so maybe they sell!

However, with 2020 being the OHL's turn to host the Memorial Cup – don’t be surprised to see Oshawa bid on it - or at least get their teams set up for the extra spot awarded to the OHL, since David Branch is going to award it to London! Then, that extra spot will be for the team winning the Eastern Conference.

The clear favourite, before they made all those big trades, was going to be Kingston! They had a combination of high-end 99s, elite 00s and plenty of draft picks. Missing a goalie, but they could have easily traded for one.

Kingston “going all in” was the best thing that could have possibly happened to the Ice Dogs, next year!

Finally something we agree on this week

I say Hamilton going for it helps too.

I think Barrie has something like 19 players returning next year. I may be wrong.Quick Blacksox hops on computer, checks facts, reports back in 10' with correct fact.

I counted 20 potential returning guys but of the 20 they have 5 OA so at least 1 has to go and maybe they go with 4 till the OA deadline and I’d be shocked if Svechnikov is back

North Bay has 22 players returning. As usual, not sure really what your point is? Please take some time to look at the teams returning players, draft status and development stages.

What team would the Little Burke’s be most afraid of to play in the first round of the playoffs this year?

Missy would be who I’d be afraid to play
