I think we all know the answer, but next year starts a rebuild so maybe you roll with it
I kind of view it as you have to plan your down years, and really move assets in and out accordingly
You should never stand pat in the OHL.
Always get value for your expiring players if you can
I agree that after this year we will be into a rebuild. But the problem with that is that we don't have any prime graduating assets that next year's contenders will be looking to acquire.
Carter and Gentles will be our OA's. Nobody will be calling about those two. In the event Hall is returned for an overage season, his history of injuries won't get us much in return either if we were to put him on the market.
Our '99's aren't much to write home about. Unless Meireles ramps up his offence considerably, he won't get us much in return if we decide to put him on the market. You don't get much for veteran imports on the market unless they are high-end. These two aren't. Neither are NHL drafted and they will be a tough sell anyway being imports. McHugh and Yantsis won't have much trade value and I doubt Richardson has any.
The only guy who may draw some interest is Garreffa but he is by no means a top shelf asset. But don't let Farwell and Pope hear you say that. I'm sure each has a framed 8x10 of him on their respective night stands.
Our rebuild is going to be a long and painful one I fear.
