2008 Born for the 2024 OHL Draft

[a8592]

Shaping up to be a really interesting draft. There are American / BC commitments all the time but I can't recall this many for a group of top prospects

 

[BigDevs93]

What teams other than London and Kitchener do you see taking a swing at valentini or Fitzgerald ? And what round?

Teams aren't stupid, both will be long gone by pick 15

 

[OHL4Life]

This is no different than any other year.

Games being played all around.

95% of the top 100 all end up in the OHL eventually.

not sure about that.

couldn’t tell you.if a tender is actually signed it’s hard to get out of. team would need to release you

Kinda hoping kingston picks valentini if he is still there at 8. But have a feeling niagara picks him and trades him to London lol

 

[JuniorHockeyInsider]

Valentini not a surprise but Fitzgerald out of no where, I think it’s green bay

Heard the same.

 

[Petes1987]

If Niagara passes on him, it better be because he won't report.

Also, assuming Niagara does draft Wasslyn as most suspect... how good is he? Is he similar to Roobroeck?

I doubt Braidy Wassilyn will be available when Niagara picks. Assuming Ethan Bechetz is drafted 1st in overall by Windsor and now that Adam Valentini is rumoured to be going to the US he will likely be drafted by either Sarnia or Peterborough.

wanna bet?

wanna bet?

Any clue who else Sarnia might like lol. Might be a solid chance their 3 favorites (Fitzgerald, Malhotra, Valentini) are all USHL.

i dont think malholtra is ushl

i mean you never know, but some assume that its just a draft and kids go wherever, its not, the kid needs to agree to go, and im not sure wasslyn and sarnia can get there.

That's disappointing if Wassilyn wouldn't wanna come. Franchise has improved a ton under the new regime.

If malhotra is OHL then might be Sarnia's guy. Thanks for all the info!

malholtra wont be going to sarnia, he has a deal with another team. sarnia can take him but then he will go to the ushl or try to get traded.

 

[Corso]

not sure about that.

Don't believe so....

One that’s related to the weather?

Goddamn. Lmao. That's disappointing. Gonna have to reach it would seem. Hate that these kids do this. Their choice ik. Just frustrating.

Sarnia gotta be scrambling rn with Fitzgerald doing this out of nowhere. Might have to reach for McLean maybe.

Do you still think the Petes will take Di Iorio

Just say Guelph has a deal with Malhotra lol

 

[Petes1987]

Who are thinking the Petes will take? I believe it will either be Braidy Wassilyn or Alessandro Di Iorio depending on who Sarnia drafts. I know there are some who thinks that they will draft Colin Fitzgerald but h is rumoured to going to the US. I think there is an outside chance they take Brady Smith

why would they take wasslyn if wasslyn isn’t goi g to go?

Do you still think the Petes will take Di Iorio

As of today, yes

 

[JuniorHockeyInsider]

Would be suprised if Di Iorio reports to the Petes

 

[frontsfan67]

I don’t remember a draft being this messed up with the top talents before holy crap.

 

[OHL4Life]

Would be suprised if Di Iorio reports to the Petes

they just traded for 3 07s, if he doesn’t show up the picks willl be worth while. I think he will

 

[Bardown99]

USHL and BCHL is a step BELOW every CHL caliber game in terms of development and speed of the game. I dont understand why so many high skilled guys want to commit to those remote teams. There's no data that supports that those junior leagues are a faster path to getting paid to play hockey down the road. In fact, every non-CHL league in North America combined isnt even close to being recruited as much into the NHL as much as the CHL.. It never will be, despite hearing for the past decade: "it's changing, you watch". And... 95%+ of every World Juniors of the Canada roster is made of CHL players, its that big of a gap vs BCHL and USHL.

I have not heard that Brady Wassilyn indicated that he will not report to the Petes. Where did hear this? I would prefer they draft Alessandro Di Iorio in the 1st round but I am not sure he will be available when the Petes draft 3rd with Adam Valentini indicating he may play in the US.
