OHL Trades 2015-16 Season Thread

[sfan]

Trade season is over. What are your predictions on how the season's transactions will effect the year end standings?

I've watched some Novice games this year and 2023 doesn't look like a very deep draft......lol

Better get those kids signed up for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program asap.

Really no big moves. The teams that were way behind the 8 ball, Sarnia, Windsor, Niagara, Barrie, all added the most.
London, if Milano does NOT report, didn't do much. Same with Kitchener. Erie did nothing.

I personally don't think much changes.
London, Erie, Kit should still be favorites and in that order.
Sarnia and Windsor I think could make a run and would be not shocked or surprised at all if they won the west. But their moves I think made them go from way behind talent needed to either just behind or even in talent. Problem is 1 of those 2 teams will have 5th seed. That means they will have to play 4th seed (either kit, lon, Erie) first round then play 1st seed in second round (either kit, lon,Erie) then play in 2nd or 3rd in the finals. Tough, tough, tough road. Especially when both teams have little experience in playoffs

Late trades trickling in:

Niagara trades Ryan Sarris to Windsor for a 15th in 2019.

Sarnia trades Hayden Hodgson to Saginaw for Devon Paliani, BAR 2nd 2019, NIA 3rd 2017, KGN 4th 2016, and MIS 4th 2018 (cond)

Erie trades Frankie Pucci to SSM for a 10th in 2017.

BAR trades a 6th in 2016 and a 2nd in 2021 to SSM for Keigan Goetz

NB trades Kyle Locke and a 12th in 2018 (cond) to HAM for Maurizio Collella

I don't know about the standings but to me the two winners are Ottawa and Sagenaw, its just insane the returns they got. If they play their cards right the future is bright.

All of this year's trades should be duly recorded here:
http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1938135
and reference details here:
http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?p=111790049#post111790049

Please look over the entries for the team or teams that you follow and post here any corrections, omissions, edits.

I'm especially interested in hearing information on the terms of conditional picks.

Also, if you have any suggestions for next year, please also speak out. As I have time before the new trade season, I have the following in mind:
- Adding dates in the main page (the references already have dates)
- Adding stat links to the main page (if HFB memory limits allow) so that season end and playoff contributions of the acquisitions and releases can be easily evaluated
- I may add the information about traded pick's linked to another team

Thanks for everyone's help putting this together.

I'll cross-post this here for those that missed it in the non-sticky thread originated by Brock:

Here's my analysis of each OHL's Trade Deadline actions this year. Niagara, Sarnia, Oshawa, and Saginaw earned the top grades.

http://ohlprospects.blogspot.ca/2016/01/2016-ohl-trade-deadline-report-cards.html

Be curious to see what your grades would be for each team (or at the very least for your own team).

Also, cross-posting Macker88's trade deadline analysis for each conference:

In part two of our OHL Trade Deadline Recap, we take a look at the Western Conference Winners and Losers.

Here is our write up on the 2015-2016 OHL Trade deadline (an the days leading up to it). For those interested we take a look at the Winners, Losers and teams that got stuck in neutral.

I'm positive not everyone will agree, but feel free to comment or message me, always open for constructive talks.

Hey folks,

A couple of questions:

1) Although the ultimate success of a trade should be evaluated long term, the end of the regular season and the playoff run are the first milestones for evaluating this year's trades.

Who do you think the trade winners and losers have been so far this year?

Here is the summary of transactions: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1938135

2) The "OHL Trades 2015-16 Season Thread" was a work-in-progress this year. Do you have suggestions for improving it next year?

It's tough because technically the Sting have gotta be considered losers for trading a million picks for Konecny and then only getting him for 2 playoff games (both loses) but it was a trade that needed to be made. Obviously nobody knew he'd have a season ending injury

I'm inclined to agree. Konecny seemed to up his game post-trade, contributing strongly in Sarnia's second half and should have been a huge piece in its playoff run. The remaining wildcard is waiting til fall to see if he is back for another year or if Philly thinks he is healthy and ready enough for them.

Interestingly Ottawa's second half was also strong, despite loosing Konecny and Studnika. Furthermore, Chmelevski only was around for 5 games before his season ending injury. There is no question Chmelevski will be a big future contributor in Ottawa.

Niagara's been a solid winner with its trades so far. I think it could be argued that their acquisitions were instrumental defeating Ottawa 4:1 in a series that was in fact much closer than appearances. Since joining Niagara...
Pavel Jenys

Stephen Harper
