Could be a less skilled Lidstrom
I didn't mind and/or didn't have strong feelings about the Formenton pick but doesn't he still project only to be an 'elite' third liner, with his finishing abilities still being raw?
I think expecting him to be guaranteed more than "just a Dzingle" is rather high expectations.
I'm guessing 2 years in Juniors and another maybe 2 years in Bellville seems about what I'd do.
Hypothetically speaking not sure where he projects on the roster.
So it appears Mailloux is suspended indefinitely from the OHL, so Roger may the #1 defenseman for the Knights right out the gate.
Has been very bad this season for London.
He’s been bad, this trade explicitly shows that he isn’t exactly thought highly of in LondonWhat a strange trade. London is leading the league and Roger was an assistant captain. You don't usually see the top team in the league trading an assistant captain for futures. It's almost like he played his way off the team.

Well it seems they only picked him because he hadn’t seen much ice and had a growth spurt. I feel like they were definitely just pushing their luck with this pic trying to find a diamond in the roughThe Knights thread in the OHL sub-forum seems to echo this unfortunately.
Pick was a head scratcher when it was made and it looks even more dumbfounding right now.
Exactly what it seems at this point. But who knows with defensive defencemen? He’ll probably be THE guy in Kingston.Well it seems they only picked him because he hadn’t seen much ice and had a growth spurt.

He just got traded from the top team in the OHLRoger can get some ice time on a team looking to dominate!
This feels like the time they drafted Tim Boyle because Bob Janecyk thought he was the best player at some shithole tournament in Boston, despite the fact that the guy was 19 years old and 7th on his high school team in scoring.
Roger scored a couple fluke goals at the OHL showcase and the Sens fell in love.
