Hounds will get him to fill out overage and hometown kid along with Radysh in a big package watch for it heard today that is who they are targetingsomebody has got to pick up Owen Headrick(OA) 21pts in 22 games! He would get more then a 3rd round pick for sure.
Sellers are Windsor Flint Erie Sudbury maybe North Bay buyers are Kitchener London Sarnia Sault Ste Marie Hamilton Mississauga in my opinionRight now who are the clear buyers and sellers?
Not too sure about Kitchener. They need too much to really contend IMO.Sellers are Windsor Flint Erie Sudbury maybe North Bay buyers are Kitchener London Sarnia Sault Ste Marie Hamilton Mississauga in my opinion
not going to happenTo Hamilton: Kyle Maksimovich (Hometown boy)
To Erie: 2nd, 3rd
I will gladly take Fowler if I am ErieHounds will get him to fill out overage and hometown kid along with Radysh in a big package watch for it heard today that is who they are targeting
considering they somewhat overpaid (or paid a lot) for Sherwood, and Stanley will be gone next season - I hope for your sake they dont sit on it. If they stay pat they are toast. Yep they are a few moves away no doubt but at this point can they really sell off after already buying? Weird spot for themNot too sure about Kitchener. They need too much to really contend IMO.
Ottersguy this is what I mean. Rangers are a good midpack squad. They just don't have enough of everything to run with the big dogs like the Soo and Sarnia. They need a steady goalie. A good defenseman or two and at least two top six forwards. Only one wish bone on a chicken. I think they are going to be in over there heads before the playoffs. They do have a plan going forward not to clean out the cupboards anymore apparently. If that is the case they really don't have extra decent prospects they can give up at this point in time. Some analyst have them as a stacked team for some reason but its really a myth.considering they somewhat overpaid (or paid a lot) for Sherwood, and Stanley will be gone next season - I hope for your sake they dont sit on it.

Obvious sellers- Erie, Sudbury, NB, Windsor, Flint
Likely buyers - Missy, SSM, OS, Sarnia, Hamilton, PBO
Kitchener, Barrie, London are in weird spots.
Oshawa, Niagara, Saginaw, Guelph, Ottawa, Kingston are not likely to buy big. And not likely to sell big either because they don't have to and/or because they don't have the big name 1998 players.
Okay sounds good.not going to happen
Erie will move Raddysh, Sambrook, Lodnia, Headrick before they even consider Maksimovich. And Maksimovich is guaranteed to be here next year. So unless they get a great offer, he isnt going anywhere. And a 2nd and a 3rd is just an average offer, nothing for erie to get excited at and pull the trigger.
I think Hamilton established today they are going for it this year.considering they somewhat overpaid (or paid a lot) for Sherwood, and Stanley will be gone next season - I hope for your sake they dont sit on it.

Exactly. Like our GM said he bought already. Rentals or whatever. Do you guys have a disgruntled Dman that wants a trade?(Riley Stillman sp) Thought I read that on your team thread.The fact that they already bought Sherwood and Stanley show they're buyers this year. Both those guys are rentals so you wouldn't do that if you weren't a buyer

Right now who are the clear buyers and sellers?
Mascherin , Stanley , Hall, Sherwood and Bunnaman all likely gone next year for sure along with a few others. I see the Rangers at the bottom of the league next season. Too many small forwards left that have not really stepped up to the plate.Sellers
Windsor, Erie, Flint, NB, Sudbury
Buyers
Peterborough, Hamilton, Miss, SSM, OS, Kitchener
Likely Buyers
London, Barrie
The rest likely standing pat/building towards next year or the year after. Kingston and Ottawa could become buyers if they find the right deals that don't hurt their prospects for next year.
Kitchener is in a unique position. I think they go all in this year but what do they look like for next year roster wise if they take a step back? Do they have enough returning if they decided to move Mascherin, Stanley and Sherwood for picks and a couple of high end 17 or 18 year olds? Do they lose too much of their line up to graduation/OAs returning or do they have enough 17/18 year olds to keep them at a Kingston/Ottawa level this year plus add a couple more kids and more draft picks that could put them in as early favourites next year?
If taking a step back puts them 2 - 3 years away from being in a good position to contend then I think they go all in. If their roster projects favourably for next year if they take a step back then maybe instead of spending big for a tougher chance this year maybe a couple of moves to get a bit younger this year sets them up for a better chance next year.
Another couple of weeks and I could see the buyers and sellers changing - Saginaw may become a buyer especially someone who would be back next year - could also see Owen Sound toss in the towel for this year ( they are teetering right now) and sell off a few to prepare for next year - they could very well be better next year than this.Sellers

I will gladly take Fowler if I am Erie
Sokolov to London for Lucas Rowe and picks?
Maybe if we add some picks and they add some defensemenDoubt LDN gives up an 01 for a euro rental. Just me speculating... but I'd be shocked.
Fowler, couple 2 2nd rounds , conditional picks. That could definetly interest Erie for Raddysh.Raddysh is the only available player that they may consider dealing Fowler for. He's not getting the ice time to show his skills, but Fowler's speed and playmaking ability has been very impressive.

I hear talk that Raddysh and Katchouk have been keeping close contact, i wonder if the NTC comes into effect for Taylor , if he WANTS to be in SSM.
Tha Tampa bay connection has to be enticing
