Probably zero chance Divencentiis or Nelson return to the OHL, but seeing how Saginaw scooped Bloem for free this season, do teams start trading O/A's for conditional picks now?

DelBelBelluz was traded for conditional picks last season

It’s time for the 2006-07 born D to play? For a team that has been trading away picks and younger players for three straight seasons, the battalion have invested a lot of high picks in the next group of D; there are 2-2nds, 3-3rds, 2-4ths.
‘05 - Ride, Kennedy
‘06 - Turley, Rismond
‘07 - Wilson, Enright
‘08 - Greer

Ride and Kennedy won't be going anywhere and will end up as OA's
Rismond hasn't shown much and I wouldn't expect him back.
There is also '07 Gallivan

I don’t know if it will be enough to earn a spot on the battalion D, but Rismond showed he was less likely to make a mistake than Turley and Wilson.
The point was NB probably tries to move OA D because the team invested a lot of draft capital in 2005-08 born D. The team has used 2nd, 5-3rds, 4-4ths on the D. At forward there is an import and 2-1sts, 2-3rds used by round 4 over four draft years. Of those, Romani is a good bet to be moved at some point this season.
