I can't understand what Ottawa is waiting for. Suffice to say if we had even half the picks that Ottawa still has we would not be sitting on our hands.
At this point Guelph has to be done. London is done, no cards. It looks like SSM is staying status qu in hopes of a Sandin return. Saginaw must be done now as well. Maybe a small tinker deal left. That takes care of the Western teams.
At this point it is likely Oshawa will not add after adding Neumann. Niagara is in some poop. Not sure if anyone will talk to them now. I assume they will still get something done but who knows. Sudbury should do something.
All that is to say there really are only three teams left in the race. But, there are a lot of players still out there, especially OA’s. Ottawa has loads of choice including Suzuki if they want to go high end 19 year old, Durzi for high end D-Man OA and Maksimovich who they seem linked to at forward.
Like I said in an earlier post, Ottawa has solid scoring, good defense and now a World Class goalie. All they need is depth of scoring and defense. That allows them to be flexible with which to choose. They don’t need a centre specifically, or a high scoring winger specifically..... It makes it much easier to acquire when your needs are flexible.
