overage players 2017-2018

- Start date
Petes will be in an interesting situation regarding OA's....
DeNoble*
Spencer - (pro)
Korostelev - (pro?)
Coyle
Rollo
Black
Smith
DeNoble is a lock, if either of Spencer or Korostelev come back they would take them with open arms.... I think other than that they will likely have Black back. If neither of the pro guys come back I'd probably look to trade Coyle, Rollo and Smith and get another OA D to help Black on the blueline.

The Greyhounds will have Hayden Verbeek and hopefully Noah Carroll. I expect them to look for an OA rearguard, but they could stand pat.
Much better options than the two previous years. At least Dunda, Valentini, & Wilkie will be in the league next season. Compare that to none last season.

Firebirds would be strongest if their OAs are:
Moore
Kirwan
Hicks (g)
That being said, they will probably have:
Collella
Forrest (g)
Someone not currently on the roster.
(This assumes Sherwood and Smereck, who have NHL deals, are no longer in Junior)

Lots of OA D man options for NB and Petes could use one.. Butler would love Coyle and Scott Smith is deserving of a starting goalie gig.
I think there's a deal to be made here....
Not having 3 OA's this season cost us to be honest. Looking back i think that was a huge mistake.
Looking ahead, while i like Verbeek i sure hope we get someone much more dynamic as our OA's, plus 2 Imports that can contribute! Makinen didn't do anything for me and was never a factor and of course the addition by subtraction of Bouramaan...well...thankfully "that train has sailed." LOL
Fischhaber and I discussed this in the OS thread at some length, but that was a real head-scratcher for me, too. Cordell James went for almost nothing. My guess is that Raftis had a specific plan in mind that collapsed late and left him without any fall-back options. I doubt that happens again.
As of now, Hamilton would go with Lemcke, Walters and Templeton. I'm just not sure they want to have 3 D-men as their overagers.

There were only 5 19 yr olds in Kingston this year and as it stands right now 2 next year. with a total of 15 returning players not counting OA. Lot's of time left between now and opening of next season for things to change.
In the OA dept below are the 5 potential. Without sounding callus Supryka should not be counted as an OA, My pick for the eventual 3 OA's, Helvig (being a goalie it will be tough to break into Carolina's system next year but anything is possible) Nichol and Murray. I can see Harding sticking around like Caron did this year as Helvig would garner an acceptable return on a trade leaving a vacant OA spot.
D Murray, Liam
C Harding, Sam
C Nichol, Ted
G Helvig, Jeremy
C Supryka, Josh

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?

London will likely have
Carbonara
Crawley
Miletic
Parsons and Vande Sompel could realistically both come back as OA's but it would be highly unlikely

I would expect Niagara to add two cheap (in terms of picks) or even wait until some are released. They will be entering year 2 of a total rebuild, Johnny Corneil is their only OA. I can't see them spending any real assets on bringing in a top OA, just a couple of character guys similar to Justin Brack is what the Dogs could use this year.

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.
I think North Bay would be interested in Kreis as their OA forward. He's a good two way forward poised to break out a bit offensively as a 20 year old.
I'd love to grab him and Niemelainen as their second import. That would be an interesting swap.
