To be a serious championship contender the Petes need to acquire two top six forwards and a veteran backup goalie. This will not be easy and doesn't come without cost. What are people's thoughts on what players to pursue. Personally I don't see Hayton in a Petes uniform.

oh get out of here with that... teams add players every single season at the trade deadline and go on to have success. What’s the difference here?

I would like to see us make a move for Thomas and tomasino it’s going to cost a lot but not as much as two deals with two teams
Avon spearing 3x2nds 3x3rds 4th 5th
For Thomas tomasino
Similar deal to Oshawa for Noel and Antropov not as many picks tho going to Oshawa
18 year old tomasino or Antropov will play next year or be traded next year to recoup picks
And if Kitchener is selling maybe a deal for damiani and Ingham could be made not sure what that would look like pucks players wise tho

yep, but add smart. Last season Niagara added Robertson who had been RW and RC Studnicka to a team with RC/RW Thomas, Tomasino, & Uberti, and RW Masimov, Lodinia, & Sopa. Lots of skill, little balance imo.
It would cost way more than that. If youre getting both Thomas and Tomasino, it's costing you Avon and Butler and then 5 2nds and 5 3rds on top of that.
Thomas alone would cost close to Avon+3 2nds+3 3rds. That means you have Tomasino going for Spearing+one 4th+one 5th. That isnt even close
Niagara doesn't need to package them together. Teams are badly going to want both guys. So theres no need for thme to offer a massive discount just so someone would take them, they dont need to do that
They are getting two very good young players at forward and d and the 3 2nds are all in the 2020 draft so I value them a lot more especially to a team like niagara who has absolutely no picks and no 1st in 2021
Those 3 picks are going to have a lot of pull compared to 4-5 seconds in all years from 2020-25 would

If the Rangers sell, Damiani, a tier below the likes of Hayton and Thomas, could be had for a little cheaper and you’d still be getting one of the top two way forwards in the league who scores at way over a point a game pace.
As opposed to Thomas/Tomasino, Damiani-87 pts and one of the Ranger’s OA forwards (Yantsis-50 goals. Meireles-97 pts. Hawel-34 goals) would be cheaper and you’d still be in pretty good shape assets wise going forward.
I’d think any of these three OA’s would be an improvement on a guy like Hudson.

Especially in this day and age of the OHL. You have to be willing to add and make big moves at the deadline.
I don't think the Petes will be in the market for an OA moving forward.
Wilson has been exactly what the doctor ordered......a tough, big bodied, solid Dman.
If the Petes were to upgrade on Wilson with one of these OA forwards, then who fills Wilson's spot on defense?......I feel OK about the Petes D unit with Chisholm, Paquette, Maier, McNamara, Wilson and Spearing but to remove one of those 6 and have to insert Guryev or JPJ on a regular basis, is a worry for me.
I agree with dirty12. Oke must be selective about who he targets and where they can play. I do worry about how it impacts the forwards who are key pieces for the Petes right now and where they are comfortable playing.
I feel good that Wilson has shuffled guys around playing them on their off-wing at times. I believe it was more by necessity than on purpose but at least he and Oke will have a better sense of the comfort level for different players playing in different spots.
Whoever gets added to this forward group will move guys down the lineup. If two top 6 guys are added, who gets bumped out of the top 5 to the 3rd line?
McTavish is playing too well to get bumped IMO, but Gallant won’t be happy sliding to the 3rd line and it will be a slap in the face to Grondin who has been great so far this season, if he is then bumped to 4th line center.
Robertson (L) (LW)
SDA (R) (C)
Kirk (L) (RW/LW)
Gallant (L) (C)
McTavish (L) (LW)
Grondin (L) (C)
Hinz (R) (RW)
Butler (R) (RW)
Avon (L) (LW/C)
Little (L) (LW)
JPJ (R) (RW)
Denault (R) (RW)
Robertson (R) (RW/C)
Possible lineup after trades?
Forwards.....assuming Avon and Butler are dealt
N. Robertson (L) (LW) SDA (R) (C) NOEL(R) (RW)
McTavish (L) (LW) THOMAS (R) (C) Kirk (L) (RW)
Little (L) (LW) Gallant (L) (C) Hinz (R) (RW)
Denault (R) (LW) Grondin (L) (C) JPJ (R) (RW)
McMullen (L) (LW) T. Robertson (R) (RW/C)
D-Men…..assuming Spearing is not dealt because 3, maybe 4 of these guys are likely gone
Chisholm (L) McNamara (R)
Paquette (L) Maier (R)
Wilson (L) Spearing (R)
Guryev (L)
Goalies
Jones
INGHAM or GREAVES or MURPHY

One thing for sure, Oke has done a good job getting himself into a position to make some moves with a heap of young players and relevant draft picks. It'll be an interesting few months. When is the OHL trade deadline? In and around February 10th or so?

Loving the early game today for us in the UK, a great distraction from work!
Never say never......for me, if the Petes are adding 2 forwards, one needs to be a RW. If they add two pure top end centers it will be tough to keep Gallant and Grondin happy
I've really grown tired of the fantasy GM stuff. I know I used to do it a lot too but you know every player reads these boards and probably doesn't need to read people wishcasting him 8 hours away from their current life.
Hayton isn't a great fit like others have said, who cares if he's from Peterborough, this organization means nothing to him.
I'd like to see just picks moved and keep the 03s. I don't see many other teams willing to move their 03* at the deadline, teams will target the Petes because there are two of them here, which is why Greyhounds fans are already circling like vultures but that doesn't mean Petes need to move them.
*Though Windsor likely moves Wyatt Johnston I guess after he was hesitant to report and is now a healthy scratch as often as not.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ottawa or Sudbury moved Matier or McCallum.
