Simpson to Guelph would make sense. But they may not want to do Leaver dirty like that after only a half a season and would keep their current duo at least until the deadline.
Nice!
Generally the OHL trade window opens the (first Monday?) in June. I cannot say when Memorial Cup is usually finished.
Last year season started and finished later, so Memorial Cup did as well. The June trade window was one day, I think.
Rangers picked up Jake Paterson from Saginaw for a song in 2015. The deal was so cheap Hiebert couldn't resist even though the Rangers were no where near contending. Market for OA goalies is usually very cheap.
Not the playoff MVP. Michael Simpson will go for a minimum of one, 2nd and one, 3rd round draft pick. He likely will fetch more maybe a player or multiple draft picks.
They got a 2nd and 3rd for an OA goalie and also had Evan Cormier (4th round NHL pick) on the bench behind him. Patterson was a very good goalie (my son's favorite) but getting 2 high picks is a pretty decent return especially as an OA. It was definitely a win for Kitchener because they got a very good goalie but Saginaw finished as the #8 seed so it made sense to grab a couple of picks for an OA who's not returning.
Not a playoff MVP but not through any fault of his own. Paterson was a WJC goalie and a 3rd round NHL draft pick. I'd say his value was much higher than Simpson's will be.
