List your team's potential overagers for next season

[Tim Wallach]

For Kitchener:

Mascherin (not much chance)
Stanley (no chance)
Hall (possibility increasing due to injuries)
Gentles (probable)
McGonigle (doubtful)
Brown (no chance)
Bunnaman (doubtful)

 

[Finster8]

Spirit have Middleton as the only 98 on the team. He could return as an OA but needs to play well to make the AHL. Selfishly would be fine with me in a Spirit uniform next year.

 

[HockeyHero96]

Soo Greyhounds

Raddysh- no chance
Howdeshell- maybe
Kopacka- no chance
Gettinger-no chance
Katchouk- no chance
Sambrook- maybe (drafted not signed)
Timmins- no chance
Hollowell- yeah
Johnson-Maybe

 

[Living Vicariously]

For Guelph, I think just Zach Poirier returns as a 1998. Of course, I stand to be corrected.

 

[saska sault]

Hounds will be lucky to have either one of Sambrook or Hollowell .. both will likely play ECHL or AHL. The important part is... we likely return Frost (potential leading OHL scorer) , Hayton (top 10-15 pick) , Sandin (potential 1st rounder ) and Villata (who could be our all time wins leader). Yes we mortgaged big parts of our future this year but we return huge pieces next year... and maybe even Kupari who is our import and could be a top 10 NHL pick... dont count us out next year .

 

[Steel Fishbowl]

Mississauga Steelheads

Reagan O'Grady
Cole Carter
Emanuel Vella (only if the new OA rules are implemented)
Ian McKinnon - won't be back

This is assuming that all of their NHL drafted guys and imports won't be back (near 100%)

Looks like they will be picking up an OA candidate or two over the summer or early next season

horner: Wouldn't Raaymakers be considered?

negative Raaymakers wont be an O/A next year due to rule change (O/A goalies don't count toward team total)

 

[Duke Guy]

Thanks. I didn't know the rule change was now official.

 

[ohloutsider]

Thanks. I didn't know the rule change was now official.

I don't believe it is official yet - but lots of rumors out there.

I would bet that this rule change does not happen. Better chance that they let Euro goalies back in

 

[OHL insideout]

OS Attack; IMO, an OA forward must be at least a top 6, a dman must be a top 1-3, a goalie must be the #1 starter.

LW-Lyszczarczyk / NO, not a top 6 forward
C-Hancock / YES for sure, if he does not sign a pro contract
RW-Campbell / NO, not a top 6 forward
LW-Gadjovich / NO, will be playing pro
RD-Cameron / NO, not a top 4 Dman
RD-Durzi / YES for sure, if he does not sign a pro contract
LD-Bourque / NO, not a top 3 Dman
G-Lafreniere / NO, not the "for sure" #1 goalie
