Rabid Ranger
2 is better than one
He's a prospect, so I thought it should be mentioned. Sent to Oshawa today: http://www.kitchenerrangers.com/News.asp?Article=543
Leafaholix said:He hasn't lived up to his "phenom" title from a couple years ago, good trade for Kitchener, they get a good, big goaltender in return. Hopefully Devereaux can develop and make a run at a roster spot in the next couple years for team Canada's WJC team.
Not sure, but he's been here for a long time and well... don't want to start this again. But he's basically said that he does consider himself Canadian, and if he has the citizenship, I'm sure he'll make a run at the team in a couple years.Rabid Ranger said:Did he ever get Canadian citizenship?
I think will depend entirely on how Turple plays, and whether there is more to this deal than meets the eye. Deboer doesn't make poor deals as a general rule. DiRienzo and Hesh have both been playing well of late... I think this deal caught a lot of people by surprise.Juan said:The word around the OHL in the last 24 hours is that, given how each of the 3 players is currently playing, DeBoer got taken to the cleaners on this trade.

This guys idea of defence is to reach out and punch opposition players in the face with his glove, as they blow by him. He's a shorthanded situation waiting to happen.Mobey said:Yeah, he really doesn't have a prayer to make either the USA or Canadian teams in my opinion.
I'd say that's a little off..... there's no way you'd get Turple for DiRienzo straight up. Turple has won games for Oshawa; DiRienzo has yet to show that he can steal a game.Boomhower said:This guys idea of defence is to reach out and punch opposition players in the face with his glove, as they blow by him.

Kitchener essentially gave up on him. They have a deep defence and must have decided they were better off without him, now that Lashoff's back (and looking good too). Turple has shown more than DiRienzo in the past, but as mentioned DiRienzo is playing well now and has an extra year of eligibility when compared to Turple. IMO it could be debated who got the better of the goalie tradeoff . So judging by this trade Hesh's value is really low, about a 5th round OHL pick, give or take an inch.
