Attendance is a continual issue in the Bay - move JB and we'll hear crickets.
Not a good situation. A fan base needs to realize they’re will be years when the team doesn’t have as much success as they would like while they’re rebuilding etc. Of course you need to win to pack the place but its a cycle, and a loyal good fan base is there year after year so long as there is a plan and some light at the end of the tunnel. In Sudbury there was no light for several years so obviously attendance was low. Kind of surprising in terms of the Batts considering the team was already lost once.Attendance is a continual issue in the Bay - move JB and we'll hear crickets.
Brazeau with 4 through 2 periods! Should earn an NHL contract from his shot alone.. other OHL teams should be salivating at the thought of potentially adding a player like this to their roster. Our 1st line does majority of the heavy lifting but he is the straw that stirs the drink.
Have also liked rose and schlueting in his limited minutes, doesn’t always make the easy play (which is a problem trying to break into the league as a young defender) but I think with some growth he will be a fun player to watch.
And a nod to our role players who do get it a little rough for lack of production (rightfully so).. but I do respect the heart and hustle on the PK, in particular the effort to step in front of shots.
I for one would love to see it.Brazeau is currently on pace for 126 points. You would have to think he will be in the NHL next year. He has the size to be on an NHL 4th line. Kevin Labanc had 127 as an OA a few seasons back and he went straight to the NHL and put up 20 points
You sure got that right. We won't see any goalsAttendance is a continual issue in the Bay - move JB and we'll hear crickets.
Braz day just before the xmas break (trade period) ........hmmmmm smells like a trade .
Game against the Wolves December 28, 2018 is not televised. I wonder why EastLink isn't allowing the feed for it?
I don’t see it happening let’s just enjoy him while he’s hereBraz day just before the xmas break (trade period) ........hmmmmm smells like a trade .
Justin doesn't have the wheels to jump right in like Labanc and former Battalion Barclay Goodrow did a few years back. Brazeau also has the ability to create space with his size at this level, giving him a similar advantage that former Battalion Nick Paul had in his final year here--that disappears when you turn pro.Brazeau is currently on pace for 126 points.

If Braz goes they had better get warm bodies. With their drafting record picks are basically wasted. A big improvement would be replacing scouts and hire at least one in Michigan or New York preferably both.Braz day just before the xmas break (trade period) ........hmmmmm smells like a trade .
I'm not sure Duhart would even report to North Bay. Also no real interest in Timms, either. He'd just be taking ice away from the young guys, which isn't convenient. If it's London, that 6'6 kid from Napanee--Emmet Pierce--who's currently playing for Strathroy sounds interesting. What's the word on him?what would you guy think if the knights went after Brazeau offered something like this.
Duhart+Timms+2 2nds and 1 3rd for Brazeau
Pierce hasnt played at the OHL level much mostly because of londons depth im sure he is availableI'm not sure Duhart would even report to North Bay. Also no real interest in Timms, either.

As for the picks, who knows? By the deadline, Brazeau might have 40-some goals. There might be a few suitors by then.
Stan has a tendency to lean towards the guys with size. If this Pierce kid can skate, he'd probably be a decent add--losing Brazeau's size.Pierce hasnt played at the OHL level much mostly because of londons depth im sure he is available

I was wondering what level he was at. He seems to be producing, but I assume he's also a year older. Thanks. Really difficult to tell just looking at what's available online.Pierce is a border line OHLer at best. Not a trade chip of any value. He would be a throw in.
I doubt he ever gets a sniff in London. He will continually get passed by younger better players coming into the org.

Similar to luchuk trade but probably a bit richer JB is on pace for 60-70 goals possibly 20 more than luchuk he is also 8 inches taller and 40 lbs heavier for what ever that is worthI prefer an ohl proven talent if we are trading Braz for obvious reasons. The scraps from London that may or not report do not move the needle but I understand why that would be their package to be fair...
