who are the oa that the teams are keeping? who trade bait?
Wolves need 3. Poor options available.
Battalion will have Shankar, Shoemaker, Saban, Bruce and possibly McKenzie if Canucks don't send him to Utica. It's likely a few of these guys move on.
They're likely in the hunt for an OA forward and possibly another starting goalie.
The Greyhounds will have Hayden Verbeek and hopefully Noah Carroll. I expect them to look for an OA rearguard, but they could stand pat.
Not having 3 OA's this season cost us to be honest. Looking back i think that was a huge mistake.
The Attack, amazingly, will not be losing a lot next year, but what they will be losing a very key pieces.
There are 4 '97's on the roster: Michael McNiven, Petrus Palmu, Jacob Friend and Ethan Szypula.
Out of the 4, I only expect Szypula back which leaves 2 OA spots that need to be filled.
I don't really trust Vella as a starter, so I think we might see on OA brought in for there. The offensive gaping hole on the blue line left by Centorame will need to be filled as well.
For Kingston fans: what would it take to for Owen Sound to trade for Jeremy Helvig?
For Saginaw fans: what would it take for Owen Sound to trade for Marcus Crawford?
I would think a 4th in 18 would be fine for Crawford. Though that may be a move closer to the OA deadline.
Speaking of OA's, Saginaw possible OA's are Davies, Kreis, Crawford, Cormier, and Barwell.
I'd assume Cormier is sent back. I'd also pencil in Crawford to start the season. The last spot may got to Kreis or there may be a trade to improve that. The others I can't see staying around. I will say that I think Saginaw finishes the year with only 2 OA's: Kreis and someone traded for. I think Cormier is moved early in the season to make room for either Lamour or Bonello and as I stated earlier, Crawford moved towards the deadline.
