A Ukrainian hockey player in Barrie longs to go home

Artur Cholach of the OHL’s Colts, drafted by the NHL’s Golden Knights, knows that if he travels to his homeland to see his family during the war he won’t be able to return to Barrie next season. He has no idea when he’ll see them again.

As a Canadian, I can't imagine what that must feel like for Cholach.
My heart goes out to him, his family and all Ukranians.

How many drafts in the past decade does beaudoin go 1st overall? Is he better than Suzuki at the same age?

Anyone have an ohl comparable?

 

[OHL4Life]

Maybe over Levin in 2015? But that was a weird draft and Sudbury didn't have very many options of people who would report. Other than that I don't think he'd go 1/1 in any. He had a ton of assists but goal scoring generally gets you drafted 1/1 (obviously some exceptions) and he didn't do that at an elite level for 16U. And small sample size but 0 goals and only 1 assist when called up to the CCHL. Big, strong player but definitely areas he'll need to improve on to become a top 6 OHL player

Thanks for the scouting report generalsupdates.

Sad to see barrie won’t be in Oshawa till later on the season, but we’ll get there.

Predictions on the east?

 

[dirty12]

Niagara will be 2024 memorial cup host.
I think (Battalion, Colts, Petes), ‘67s, Steelheads are the top 5, right now.

 

[MeafAttack]

Colts secure a goalie prior to the start of camp which was really important this year after last years debacle.
Price seems reasonable considering he is signed.

Enjoy Thornton. He deserves to be a starter. He will have top 5 numbers this year. Late bloomer. Only reason he isn’t in Sarnia anymore is a slightly better Gaudreau.

Sure … I heard he’s got the tools but nice .883 %.

Can you explain this meh kind of below average kinda bad save percentage?

I sure can, it’s called the Sarnia Sting defense that has been coached to failure the exact same way for multiple years now.

Those numbers means absolutely nothing.

So you actually think he’s a good goalie? And that he’ll be the #1?

Marty Williamson suggesting he’ll go all in for a chip this year. Also suggests the return of all 3 of cardwell vierling and mcdonell.

Sure… if cardwell wasn’t back I wasn’t sure if he’d go in this year or next but these factors today leads me to believe he’ll go all in this year.

Bring on the import draft

You could say nhl and leave out the fact it was the coyotes I think the sting Would even beat them

Can you explain this meh kind of below average kinda bad save percentage?

SV% (often times in junior) is a function of the team in front of the goalie. .883 on a -45 goal differential team isn't bad.

they want to keep lemieux, wouldnt be shocked if they moved vierling or cardwell first

Cardwell? No chance. He’s a candidate for 100 PTS.

Lemieux over vierling though, I’m a little afraid that comes to fruition. Vierling does not seem motivated and that may be the reason per.

I know Marty is a fan of lemeiux

you can say no chance, but when have i posted things that are flat untrue? im telling you, cardwell is not a lock. you can disagree, i may agree with you, but they seem to be valuing vierling over cardwell.

Who are you? Are you telling me you know your ins with management?

I haven’t really read any of your stuff, or if I have I don’t recall.

If cardwell is not a lock then I think I better send my application in.

i have no interest in debate again, we have done this before and a few posters, mostly including a long time moderator, came in and told you that i was legit. but if we need to this again, ill point you to yesterday where i posted on the ottawa thread that cranley was off to flint and gaidamak was going niagara (i think i posted about him two days ago). i posted sudubry had a deal done for an 02 and i thought it was ranger (told howlman in pm it was him) but didnt want to post it because i didnt knwo for sure. thats not including the draft where i had almost all of the top 15. or perhaps when i said the brantford guy bought the ice dogs a month before anyone else?

it's one thing to be down 2 forwards, but it's so tough playing with only 4D Scored the cheeseburger goal though, so that was good :thumbu: True they don’t give up.

CHL.ca came up and when i opened it the draft order for july first appeared with players already listed up to pick 24 as if the draft was ongoing.

Maybe he’s doing the exact same thing he did in 2009-10.. traded OA josh Britain then built a 57-9 team afterwards.

Still though, since you have connections and cardwell is seriously being considered the odd man out over Vierling McDonnell and especially Lemieux… I’ll get my resume ready and expect an interview tomorrow.

Maybe Cardwell does not want to be back in Barrie; perhaps a little bitter about being shopped at the deadline, or requested a trade at the deadline?

there are some issues there for sure, but i dont think he requested anything.

If that’s the reason it can be the only explanation.

Maybe OHL4LIFE will know since he has sources and doesn’t want to tell us who he knows
