Ottawa 67's 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 2)

[analyser]

I hope that we do not just go for Vilardi as he is so prone to injury. Should we go for Vilardi and something happens injury wise our only upgrade is Dipietro. We really need to add a Saigeon/Maks or Durzi.

Barron would be a good addition without using picks but lets face it the other top teams are not going to shudder with his addition. He has size and grit but I don't think this will be enough for Ottawa from a scoring standpoint.

Go for it this year and use the 3 2nd. round picks for 2019 plus to acquire the best available. Not a sure thing but give yourself the best chance.

Vilardi would be a good addition but you risk losing a spot with a player who is very fragile.

Couple other #OHLTradeDeadline Notes: - Expect the North Bay #Battalion to add a Dman - Think they'll hold on to Brazeau - Sarnia Sting making a few guys available, mostly overagers. #OHL

Sarnia is hopefully helping us by helping to flood the market with good potentials and they really need picks over the next three years. Mitch Eliot and Franco Spoviero would both be good additions as alternatives to Sean Durzi and Kyle Maksimovich if their prices are out of whack.

 

[OMG67]

There really isn't all that much to say now. We are in a waiting period to see what happens.

Everyone has a different opinion but I believe we all agree we should at least fill our OA positions.

I also believe we have the flexibility to wait on Vilardi and if we acquire him, we have the ability to view it as a bonus.

Vilardi will cost 2-2nds to start as Kingston will want to replenish the picks going to Windsor then you can add your conditional picks. If healthy could be the biggest steal at the deadline. Yes with the picks available to Ottawa, they could afford to take that chance.

The higher the value of picks up front, the lower the value of picks on condition.

Kingston will have to choose if they want a bird in hand or two in the bush. They won't get both.

Studnika and Brasssard to Niagara who's left

In exchange the 67's sent:

Niagara's 2nd in '09
Ottawa's 2nd in '20
Ottawa's 13th in '19
A conditional 2nd in '24 (if Austen Swanler doesn't play for Erie)

Seems like a really great trade once again for the 67's.

 

[BarberPole9]

Big trade for Ottawa!

Let’s hope that Austen Swankler is an Erie fan, as the conditional 2024 wouldn’t vest if he signs with Erie.

Anxious to see how Maksimovich will fit into the forward corps.

 

[OttersFan]

You got a good one in Maksimovich. Take good care of him. He's a special player and has the experience. Swankler being a PA native, hopefully he signs.

 

[EON]

Echoing what OttersFan said, nice pickup for Ottawa. It hurts to see Maksimovich go but he's a great player. He's undersized but works hard for the puck and has a lot of creativity and skill, he can drive a line. Provides a lot of valuable leadership and experience too.

 

[OMG67]

Personally, I think the assets going out are too much for this deal. It isn't silly but it is more than the other OA's for sure.

Saigeon went for less. Three 2nds is a lot. I know Swankler may report to Erie and he wouldn't here so it is a one off but we did spend a 4th or 5th on Swankler so it is not like that is a free pick so to speak.

Al in all, I am happy. It seems like Ottawa got the guy they were after.

Regarding Vilardi, I am not too sure that is a deal int he works. I know that was being talked about at the time he was being released to Team Canada camp. I think there was even a deal in place. But when he go injured it was taken off the table so this latest report may just be an echo form back then.

Maintenant, ne reste que le capitaine de l'an dernier à rentrer. Étrangement, Travis Barron avait "liké" ce statut sur Maksimovich dimanche soir dernier avant que la transaction soit faite. Pourrait-il le 3e joueur de 20 ans des @Ottawa67sHockey ?

Can you imagine how good our Forward corps would look with both Maksimovich and Barron if he comes back?

Maksimovich-Chmelevski-Clark
Keating-Rossi-Felhaber
Barron-Hoelscher-Quinn
Bitten-Tolnai-Clarke
EXTRAS Yule, Maggio, Crete and Dick

 

[Roost]

Enjoy Kyle he was always a pleasure to watch and never saw him give up. Smaller guy but he plays hard and plays the right way!

Happy with this as I think he will fit well. Do agree price is a bit high but not outrageously so. Saigeon 2 seconds, 1 third. Maks 3 seconds or Swankler 2 seconds....close in value. I do think Ottawa payed a bit more to get the guy they wanted.

I guess we will have to now wait and see if Boyd is full of **** or he does add a 2nd or 3rd player.

 

[sirius67fan]

So the question is are they finished the way Niagara has loaded up? Would also not dismiss Oshawa with Neuman and Saigeon. My gut tells me they have another move notwithstanding Barron returning.

 

[sirius67fan]

We have up to now managed to keep what would be the two highest value seconds ( missy and petes) out of the original five we had!

I was tracking that too! If things go well, the Missy pick could be in the 25-27 range and the Peterborough pick in the 30-32 range on top of the likely 20th overall pick (if London ends up surpassing us). There are a couple of really high end kids in the Ottawa area this year, maybe one of them slips to us in the high part of the second round.

 

[pzeeman]

Am I the only one who sees this face when the 67s leading point-getter is mentioned?

 

[mianjo]

Where is the site that says what teams drafts positions are

 

[1967]

I like the trade as I really felt We were missing a winger for Sasha.
It would be a nice to have if we did get a offencive defence man.
Our forwards are as good or better then Every team we will face.
I’m sure we will make it to the OHL final

 

[NOA]

You won’t be disappointed in that price for Mak.

I think it was great value for both teams. Mak is soooo underrated. He has tremendous IQ and the ability to make effortless passes and decisions. He’s a very unique player who can play with any type of forward.

Ottawa clearly wanted him over other OAs and they should have. Imo he was the best one available from a pure offensive standpoint. Wouldnt be shocked to see him rack up 1.75 PPG the rest of the way with you guys, especially if he gets PP time. Side bonus is his leadership and playoff experience

Hope you guys enjoy him and I’ll be rooting for your team now!
