The Petes will never ever be able to do what London has done. London has an arena that fills with 9,000 fans each game and the Petes would get less than half of that money doing the same thing. You can believe whatever you want but London didn't get all of those great players to show up by just being a good franchise. Behind the scene deals happen.

If they were playing anyone in the eastern conference other than Hamilton, this comment would be valid enough to consider
You've got this almost perfectly backwards. It's a privilege to have a player (who could play in multiple other leagues and/or re-enter the draft) report. The Petes are the ones who have to sell themselves to these kids as the best move for them to develop.. that is their priority and they don't owe this or any other OHL team anything.
Good to see they liked Percabelli and Suda as that's who I liked as well. Thought Kirk, Butler and Spearing were solid as well. Seems like a strong draft class if we get Cuylle in.
Here's to hoping the Petes can convince Bar and Cuylle to report.
Some interesting info.......

They didn't just get all of those players from being a good franchise. That doesn't include all the high end imports they've swayed to commit.
Halifax Mooseheads HC Jim Midgley let go today. I wonder if he's somebody we could see in the mix.
Im really hoping that they announce Marty Williamson as coach. I don't think they can really afford to roll the dice on someone.
Bob jones and Oshawa couldn’t reach an extension deal he’s proven himself a worthy candidate he helped Oshawa big time over the last cpl years

If the Generals couldn't sign him to a contract and he is also Friends with Rocco Tullio (owner) it's highly unlikely the Pete's could afford his services. Just saying
Bob Jones not returning to Oshawa doesn't mean the Petes can't afford him. There could be many reasons Oshawa and Jones couldn't come to an agreement, especially with his health concerns.
I'll be a bit surprised at this point if it is Williamson. Brock's season has been over for a long time. What would be the holdup in hiring him? Wouldn't you want him at the rookie camp to meet players and parents?
Dan Malta tweeted a few weeks ago that he spoke to Oke at the draft and Oke said he was waiting to interview a coach that was still in the playoffs. That seems like Foster to me, although Mike Davies did mention Joe Cirella and John Druce as being others the Petes might look and both are still coaching.

I don't think Brock would pay him that much. Uni hockey isn't big in Ontario. I don't think he would have answered question to Mike Davies if he wasn't interested or there wasn't a chance. I'd say he's still in the running until the Petes make an announcement or Brock announces an extension.

This has been rumoured for a while now. I expect him to be traded come training camp.
Also, if he does every play Jr.A... which I highly doubt, it'll be for the North York Rangers it looks like... he skated at their rookie camp.
I hope Oke tries to sign quite a few guys from this draft... I think Butler, Spearing, Suda, Percibelli, Kirk and Austin are all going to be OHL calibre players. That's not even counting Cuylle and Bar.

Interesting because he did not stand out on team orange. Wonder if he was holding back? Other teams had players that were far more noticeable. Hmmm
