Posted this on twitter but there will probably be more reactions on here, so I'll post it here too:

North Bay will pick 1st overall

Perfetti will crack 100 points

I agree with all 3 of those having a good chance of happening

 

[Dog Fan]

Icedogs will finish 8th in the east and continue it's streak of consecutive playoff years

 

[hockeynorth]

Wolves win a banner

 

[EON]

Mine about Erie:

1. Jamie Drysdale is far and away the best dman in the league this season and easily goes top 5 in the 2020 draft.
2. Aidan Campbell takes the starting goalie job from Dan Murphy by Christmas and is the top goalie prospect from the OHL for the 2020 draft.
3. Erie wins a playoff round.

What do you mean by that. Central Division or Eastern Conference?

 

[Ferda11]

Most people have Sarnia missing the playoffs or finishing 7th or 8th. I would bet money they finish no worse than 5th.

Goaltending will be what decides it for them

Mine is that I think Flint will finish top 4 in the West and get home ice in the first round

I was just going to post this same thing with Popovich in goal.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Of the teams I follow:

Saginaw wins the OHL and Memorial Cup.
London sells off and loses 1st round.
Greyhounds in the Conference finals before losing to Saginaw.
Mississauga makes it to the 2nd round, but loses.

 

[AttackSound]

Owen Sound will clinch a playoff spot for the 10th consecutive season making it one of the longest playoff appearances for an OHL team in the shootout era.

 

[OMG67]

Oshawa trades Noel and McShane by the deadline.

 

[Fischhaber]

Your twitter prediction that Owen Sound will win the Midwest seems much bolder.

That one is a pretty certain lock I'd say

I haven't made my predictions yet (exactly because of today. With Popovich, I have FLNT being better than OS, but yesterday I had OS as better). Been spitballing some ideas with some people though.

When talking Midwest division, I do think OS is very talented despite most prognosticators not showing them much love. Kitchener took a huge hit with losing Garreffa and I can't really get a feel for London yet. Their D is supppper raw but they have the picks to change that pretty fast, but will they? I think OS certainly has a good chance to win that division. In any event, I appreciate the follow

 

[Generalsupdates]

Oshawa trades Noel and McShane by the deadline.

This one I would be surprised by. Noel yes because he's gone next year. If McShane remains unsigned until the deadline, I think they'd keep him for a playoff run and hope he's back next year as an OA

 

[Finster8]

If Prosvetov plays for Saginaw, he will do something incredibly stupid again.

 

[NOA]

I like all these EON. The Campbell one especially.

People see “12th round pick” and don’t expect much but that’s because he had college offers and a chance to play college or even USNDT. He could be a star

any is a hot take considering the wolves history lol

If they get any kind of goalie they’d certainly be the favourites to win the division. If Dichow reports they’d be my favourites to win the whole east

london will get help from the refs every game.
