[three dog night]

Aaaaaaaaand, that’s Checkmate to Mr. Hunt for the second straight year.
Did Roger take his pants as well?

#schooled

Did not the Icedogs get the picks back.

Noel trade is official now

Dis you not get Blacksox memo about 2x ‘03’s?
Hope you enjoy living in the basement a few years longer.

I think Hunt dun good but would have preferred Valade over Stepien but I guess that's just being greedy. I assume the Rangers would not give him up as they think they have a chance to make a run this yea.r

• To Oshawa
• Forward Ryan Stepien
• 2nd Round Selection in 2021
• 2nd Round Selection in 2022
• 3rd Round Selection in 2022 (OTT)
• 3rd Round Selection in 2024 (NIA)

Generals trade:

• Serron Noel
• I imagine those draft picks will be going to Niagara

We are not in the basement this year.

 

[Jaycro]

Hunt had plenty to move to Niagara before obtaining these!

My favourite part of the year. Reading all the Facebook/Twitter/Instagram comments from people wondering why Hunt is trading away well known players.

 

[SYWTom]

I pretty much follow the east what's the deal with the kid from kitchener

Stepien is a nice depth piece IMO. He’s got a really nice shot when he gets it off. But what I like most about his game is the high compete on the forecheck. Always finishes hits on opposing defenders.

I think you’ll like him, but obviously the inclusion of the high picks is to offset not getting one of Kitcheners 02s

 

[Generalsupdates]

Anyone know the picks??

good return. 2 2nds+2 3rds is what the Gens were asking for. Stepien is a throw in. I don’t know much about him but he’s an ‘01 so not an OA next year, hopefully can be a 3rd line guy

Oh man it’s so bad. The Facebook comments alone on the gens posts are so funny

 

[Naz]

I think Gross is the only other tradeable player, but is a little more of a challenge for Hunt to trade, I'll be happy if Gross is not traded and take a chance he will return as an OA.

 

[Ptbomillsy619]

Whatever the picks are for tomasino 6or 8 picks I really like this move by hunt pay more for the guy he knew he wanted but get him now no bidding war next year looks good for the gens I’ll be coming down for a cpl mem cup games next year. Of and no player going niagara’s way can you say fleeced!

I’d prefer him keep Gross. He makes the PP and PK so much better. A Tullio-McShane-Tomasino-Neumann-Gross PP unit is a nightmare for other teams

Gens Updates, is it possible this is the other part of the Big Deal with the Ice Dogs last year and Tomasino was the last piece of the puzzle? Just curious - I guess possible? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

it’s possible I guess, although that means the trade was 3.5 years of Moore and 1.5 years of Tomasino for 0.5 years of Studnicka and Brassard


That’s a massive, massive win for the Gens if it’s one big trade. And add in the fact the Gens knocked them out in that 0.5 years of Studnicka/Brassard window lol

 

[Naz]

Is Hunt done trading? I would like an OA dman but only if it comes on the cheap side, whats your thoughts.

 

[Whatanathol]

If so, who gets demoted? #11? He has regressed this year but still has the 2nd half to regain form. He played well last year and we are only at the mid pt this season.

#5, #42, #12, #66, #25 all merit continued ice and development. An OA D man would have to be a significant upgrade to warrant any move and would cost Hunt serious picks. He should save his cookies for Harley this summer or next trade deadline.

A major push for Harley now would all but lock the M Cup bid. The Tomasino acquisition may already put us there with the following top forwards next year being:

Suni
Tully
McShane
Tomasino
Harrison
Winterton
Gagnier
Michaud
et al

That would help. 15th in league GF. Trades yesterday should help but some support from the backend perhaps

 

[three dog night]

Windsor 5 Oshawa 3 Gwg Foudy

 

[Jaycro]

I would not label Winterton, Gagnier, Michaud etc.'top forwards'.They barely played this year. I think the Gens are rather thin compared to the Mem Cup lineup we had.

 

[Generalsupdates]

I personally would be fine leaving the D how it is, they have 6 legit OHL Dmen, but wouldn’t mind adding a cheaper OA forward for the 3rd line

Tullio-Tomasino-Suni
McShane-Neumann-Harrison
OA forward-MacLean-Stepien
McKinney-Gagnier-Winterton/Michaud
extras: McSorley,

Ennis-Gross
Moore-Brewer
Vallati-Jesus
extras: Pitt, Whittaker

 

[Jaycro]

What's the holdup on the Tomasino announcement? Are the Burkes backing out of a deal again?

 

[Generalsupdates]

I was told he’ll be in the Gens lineup tonight in Windsor

 

[Generalsupdates]

Hunt has 13 2nds and 8 3rds right now before the Tomasino trade. Even after the 6-8 picks it'll cost for Tomasino, he's still in a great spot going into next year
