So which prospect has a good chance of being traded to a contender apart from Teasdale?
I guess Suzuki (even though Owen Sound is not really in a bad spot), Brook, maybe Tyszka? Even though he just cam e back from injury.
What about Hillis? They just traded Merkley to Peterborough and i believe they’re on the bubble.
Walford, Mcshane and Fonstad’s teams are doing well so they shouldn’t be traded.
I think the one that's most likely to be traded is Tyszka.
Everyone else is on a team that is either really good or doing well.
I read a few days ago how at the start of the season, Moose Jaw was looking to be sellers, with Brook being their biggest trading asset. But the fact they're in a better position than they envisioned may have changed their approach.
Guelph trading Merkley is an odd one for me because the Storm is in a good spot. They're 4th in their Conference, tied at 41 points with Owen Sound, who sit 3rd ahead of Guelph because they have two more regulation wins.
The immediate thought that came in my head on why Storm would trade their top defenseman despite being in a good spot in the standings is because of the reported off-ice issues Merkley has the reputation to have.
But who knows, maybe they have made the decision to look at the long term health of the club rather than make a run for it so they will be sellers.
