Well interestingly we have 4 on our roster that were drafted by us. Not including ones who were traded to us and not including the U18 draft. Whats more interesting is it is 2 from 2017 (Guzda and Igor) and 2 from 2019 (Lawrence and Burroughs). The line up is however made up of many 2nds just not ones we drafted.Need second round picks.... does management actually think we are good enough now to contend or is Degray just very stubborn?
Any word on possible trades
Kitchener and Saginaw have to be the favourites in the west now, the Attack are not even close.
Exactly why DD. Should of Been in major sell mode. What he has done is unacceptableThey never were this season .
7 rookies.
You forgot Windsor.Kitchener and Saginaw have to be the favourites in the west now, the Attack are not even close.
DD drives me crazy with these 2nd for 2nd+ trades. This is like the 3rd or 4th time he’s done this and it’s always to our disadvantage. How about not getting us into these lack of picks predicaments to begin with??
Just because the team didn't make a big flash at the deadline, doesn't mean I won't be cheering for them just as hard to win . I support the players regardless.
For all the wheeling and dealing, 19 teams won't 'win ' at the end .
Agreed I’ll always cheer for the team but it’s time to get rid of degray. This is a league where you are to learn your trade and graduate to the next level. And right now sorry to say I don’t think he would get another job in this league once he gets let go. I’m starting to think we have one of the worst GM. With his asset management. And failure to evaluate his team properly. Two of the worst things a GM can doJust because the team didn't make a big flash at the deadline, doesn't mean I won't be cheering for them just as hard to win . I support the players regardless.

Team played a good game against the Frontenacs, and yeah to state the obvious points that OS and KGN aren't powerhouse clubs this season would be stating the obvious points.
Nevertheless the team played a full 60+ minute effort win or lose tonight against the Frontenacs, if this is a small glimpse of what the future holds in the remaining second half games this season then I certainly don't mind coming up short as long as this team is competitive moving forward into the future and towards next season.
The talent is there in guys like Lawrence, Samanski, Goure, Sedley, Burroughs they may not have the experience yet having only played in close to 20 or so games this year, but the team is showing that they are still competing.
With a days rest and reset before playing in the nation's capital versus the 67's could be more beneficial by the end of the weekend and forward.
With more games like tonight's the effort of the direction this team is going moving forward is certainly a positive. Patience will be key for fans now the game results maybe tight and hair-pulling to watch but it will be worth it moving into next season and forward, if the team can yield a draft like they did last April this April in there first few rounds we could be seeing the building blocks to another good roster in a season or two.
