..looks like GTHL had preference over North Bay Trapper Minor Midgets this year...Thank you Lord..

 

[Samee987]

...we need speed and skill and smarts....hopefully the scouts are all in..

We need Defense!

We need Defense!

Want to draft 15 defenders? Arnsby is highly rated forward

Thé game is getting away from needing to be big.

These kids are 15-16; Brazeau was 5’10”, 140 lbs when drafted

Yes sir

..as the Petes used to do...stand them in cowsh^*8 t over the summer..they'll be 6 footers by Sept.

Pretty good looking picks so far. I hope they all enjoy either having their butts glued to the bench or watching from the stands for a season. Best way to develop kids in 2019.

That is the sad part about this all, seeing quality draft picks being made, then realizing it will probably mean jack. Hopefully some "issues" will be worked out prior to this next season

Can’t complain about today’s draft

Doubt he will ever be on the team but of course strange things have happened, looking forward to next season

Crazy, never really followed the OHL at the time, pretty big growth spurt, hopefully he can succeed at the pro level, going to miss watching him next year

As a sens fan i shouldn’t buy a jersey but it’s really tempting. Love watching Formenton, best of luck to you guys, very solid team as always

Interesting grabs in the first couple rounds. Was hoping they would drop the focus on local talent and grab some skill, which is what they seemed to do.

The focus on Don Mills is interesting. Might be a ploy to ensure commitments. That program was absolutely stacked this year, so hopefully we avoided the duds. Third best RD on that roster, but from what I've read he still had some skill. If they come, the twins will be a cool story.

Plenty of spots available, assume they are all willing to report, being on a such a great team stats may be inflated but arnsby sounds he was a big part of success for the team. Glad we didn’t only focus on local talent

Looking forward, I think the right thing to do is shop Matt Struthers to a contender. He probably commands a relatively significant return, and him moving on opens up space for some of our young centers to get some key exposure.

Moving one of the goalies as well probably gives us enough assets to round out the roster with another OA defenseman and a younger 2C.

I see Brad Chenier as the front runner for captaincy next season.

We agree finally. Great post.

He told you in his post. Struthers, goalie...

I meant goalie wise, do you keep Purboo or Propp
