Trades

Jan 10

Hamilton
Kit 2 2020

to

Owen Sound
NB 2 2022
OS 3 2024

Breakdown
From a future value perspective I love this deal for the Attack. They move their 2nd round pick ahead by 2 years and it only cost them a 3rd that is 5 drafts away.

Niagara
Rights to Christian Stevens
Eri 8 2022
Ssm 3 2023

to

North Bay
Cameron Peters
NB 6 2022

Breakdown

Peters gets a fresh start in Niagara. The Battalion now become the 3rd team to hold the rights for Stevens who is an NCAA commit. Niagara even moves up in the draft by 2 rounds in 2022, gets a player and it only cost them a 3rd that is 4 drafts away.

Sault Ste Marie
Holden Wale

to

Kitchener
Ott 3 2024
Kit 5 2022
Kit 8 2020

Breakdown
Wale was never able to get off the bottom pair in the Soo and with the leap in development by Robert Calisti this year there was no where for him to go. He will head home to the Kitchener area and add depth to their blue line. He has some offensive upside but due to the numbers game was never able to put up the numbers. The draft haul is a nice return for a former 4th round pick who wasnt going to get off the 3rd pair


Sault Ste Marie
Brett Jacklin

to

Sudbury
Sby 5 2021* Con

Breakdown
Jacklin has been playing for Laurention University this year. A low cost add for the Wolves to bring size to their lineup for the playoffs.


Barrie
Jack York

to

Peterborough
Wsr 3 2023
Ptb 4 2023
Ptb 8 2020

Breakdown
'00 born defender comes with 152 games of OHL experience. Doesn't bring much offence to the table from the back end but will add to the depth of Peterborough's back line.

More picks for the Colts who have brought in 18 draft picks now while only trading 4 this deadline.

Barrie
Ryan Suzuki
Peter Fleming
Ryan beck
Bar 5th 2020

to 

Saginaw
Conner Punnett
Ethan Cardwell
Sag 2 2021
Ptb 2 2024* Con
ptb 3 2020
Ssm 3 2021
OS 3 2022* Con
Miss 5 2024

Breakdown
Ryan Suzuki is an elite playmaker. Having him center a line with Cole Perfetti on the wing should see some serious synergy and bring out the best in both players. Suzuki has 1.5 years left and was a point per game player last year. His production has dropped a bit due to an eye injury but should be primed to pick things back up in Saginaw.
Fleming suited up for the Colts last year and has been putting up great numbers for the Toronto Patriots in the OJHL this year as an 18 year old. If he is interested he could find a roster spot for himself in Saginaw next season. Beck is a Michigan native who is currently playing in the USHL. The ’02 born forward is committed to the University of Denver and played for Team USA at this summer’s Hlinka tournament.

What a return for the Colts. Connor Punnett was Saginaw’s 1st round pick this past April. He only has 2 assists this year but had a strong showing at the U17 tournament for Team Canada Red and was the 3rd highest scoring Dman for Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games last year. Ethan Cardwell is an ’02 born forward who was one of the highest scoring 16 year olds in the OJHL last year. He is having a very strong rookie season in the OHL this year and looks like a player who could have point per game production as an 18 and 19 year old. The 5 picks coming back will be useful for the Colts to augment this roster as this trade further solidifies them as the favorites in the East for the 2021-22 season.


North Bay
Rights to Martin Has

to

Guelph
Sag 3rd 2022* con
Mis 3rd 2023* con

Breakdown
Picks are conditional upon Has reporting to Guelph. With the Battalions season lost this is a way for them to potentially recoup assets. As talented as he is he wont lead them to the playoffs this year and the future picks have a greater value.

For Guelph it is a low cost move for a team with an open import spot. If Has reports he will give them arguably the most  enviable blue line in the West. The Strom are in 1st place in the West with the best GF% in the conference. This is a great job of Burnett getting creative when he doesn't have the assets other teams do.

London
Avery Winslow

to

North Bay
NB 3rd 2023
NB 5th 2024

Breadown
The Knights always have a glut of talent and are able to free them selves up of some of that by shipping the 1st year rearguard to North Bay where Winslow should find plenty of ice time. Originally a 5th round draft pick that Knights flip him for that and a 3rd. Not to bad of asset management.

For North Bay they get 2.5 years of Jr eligibility in a defencmen that has some nice development potential. This is good value for a team that desperately needs to add more skill and competition to their lineup.

Jan 9

Ottawa
Quinn Yule

to

Flint
Fli 8 2021

Breakdown
Yule became surplus for the 67's with the acquisition of Groulx from Owen Sound. An 8th round pick 3 drafts down the road is a fair return for a player given Yule's offensive upside.

For Flint Yule will add more size to their team as he now gives them 5 forwards over 6'2" and 200lbs. They may not have the most talent in the West but they are doing their best to make sure they are one of the more difficult teams to play against in the playoffs.


Owen Sound
Daylon Groulx

to

Ottawa
OS 3rd 2020
OTT 4 2020
OTT 6 2023

Breakdown
Groulx is the 8th highest scorer on the Attack. A team that is battling the Otters and the Greyhounds for the 7th and 8th seeds in the west. He adds an element to the 67s lineup that will be needed come playoff time and should really complement the bottom 6 in Ottawa.

The Attack still have 5 '00 born players who have a chance to be OA caliber players on their roster. This was a preemptive move to get a return that they likely feel is greater now than in the off season while also opening up additional ice time for Deni Goure and Ethan Burroughs who have both shown flashes in their rookie seasons this year.

Did you know that Daylon's father Wayne is the 2nd all time leading scorer in OHL history?

Sudbury
Peter Stratis

to

Sarnia
Bar 4th 2021

Breakdown
The Wolves move 19 year old defenceman Peter Stratis to Sarnia. Papineau must be making room for a bigger addition on the blue line with this trade. All Sarnia had to give up was a 4th which is somewhat underwhelming even when you factor in his lack of offensive upside and the fact that he is a former 1st round pick and likely comes with a higher education package.

For the Sting this is the 3rd '00 they have acquired this season that will likely return as an OA next year joining Roth and Bitten. The cost of those 3? a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th and a conditional 5th. Nick Sinclair has done a good job of doing everything he can to keep this team competitive while still having an eye on future seasons.

Guelph
Tanner Wickware

to

Barrie
Sag 7th 2020

Breakdown
Guelph moves Wickware who played 40 minutes for them this year and was their #3 goalie. The former 1st round Midget draft pick nets them a 7th round pick this year which is one of the better returns a team has gotten from the midget U18 draft.

Barrie
Jason Willms

to

London
Josh Nelson
Nia 2nd 2021
Bar 4 2024

Breakdown
The Knights make their 2nd OA trade of the deadline adding a proven goal scorer in Jason Willms. The added scoring will help spread the offence and take pressure off of Foudy and McMichael to carry the team.

Nelson is a nice placeholder for the Colts as they try to fight for the highest possible playoff seed and the 2 draft picks are a nice pick up for Willms who was a former 3rd round draft pick.


Niagara
Akil Thomas

to

Peterborough
Cameron Butler
Miss 2 2020
Pbo 2 2022
Nia 3 2022
Pbo 4 2024

Breakdown
After Thomas scored the winning goal for Canada at the World Junior championships people were wondering how much it would increase his price on the trade market? At the end of the day it did little to spur interest in his tepid market. In return for their star the Ice Dogs pick up a 17 year old with intriguing potential but one who is a -5 on the team with the 2nd most points in the east and is averaging less than .5 points per game. The Mississauga 2nd in 2020 is nice as it will allow them to bring in some nice new talent next year but overall the draft pick return is quite underwhelming for a player of Akil Thomas's pedigree.

The Petes one of the best players in the OHL. In fact his 275 points is the highest active total in the OHL and in the last 4 seasons is the 4th most behind graduated stars Nick Suzuki, Jason Robertson and Morgan Frost. He will likely hit his 300th career point while with the Petes and adds a dimension to their offence that fans in Peterborough haven't seen in quite a while.

North Bay
Brad Chenier

to

Sudbury
Shane Bulitka
Sby 3rd 2023
Sby 8th 2022* Conditional

Breakdown
The Battalion move their captain for essentially a 3rd round pick and a conditional 8th. (Conditions weren't released but are likely based on how far Sudbury makes it in the playoffs). Bulitka is a serviceable OA who will be relied upon to bring offence to the last place team in the OHL.

It is a low price to pay as Sudbury upgrades the OA portion of their roster. Chenier has been a point per game player the last 2 years and to do it this year with the dearth of talent around him is quite amazing. Should be a big boost for the Wolves and plays a style that should allow him to thrive in the playoffs.


Niagara
Philip Tomasino

to

Oshawa
Rights to David Gucciardi
Osh 2 2020
Kit 2 2021
Osh 4 2022
Osh 2 2023
Gue 2 2023
Kit 2 2023
Osh 2 2024
Wsr 3 2024
Osh 2 2024

Breakdown
What an underwhelming return for the Niagara Icedogs. To trade a player like Tomasino who is currently 8th in scoring (now 5th after a 5 point debut with the Generals) and has another year of eligibility and not get an '03 born 1st round pick back is a major disappointment. The Ice Dogs went big on quantity but all they got were a bunch of lottery tickets and the 2nd round jackpot isnt anything special. If Tomasino was 19 and purely a rental this would be a fantastic return but the Generals get him for another year. The draft picks are nice but you lose his leadership in the dressing room and the impact he has on his teammates development by keeping the team competitive and helping his younger teammates get into higher leverage situations. To have no impact player coming back is a head scratcher. Fans love draft picks but bodies are always more valuable than draft picks.

The Generals to acquire 1.5 years of a player who arguably is a top 10 player in the league is a major coup for Roger Hunt. Keeping Brett Harrison and only giving up an unsigned player with an NCAA commitment is a work of art. Is it possible that this is just part of the Studnicka trade from last year that was rumoured to have a 2nd part? Yes that is possible but that just makes this even more of a win for the Generals.

January 8th

Oshawa
Serron Noel

to

Kitchener
Ryan Stepien
Kit 2 2021
Kit 2 2022
Ott 3 2022
Nia 3 2024

Breakdown
The return for a player of Noel's stature may have been a bit higher in past years but the Generals get a player in Stepien who could be a key depth piece next year. Roger Hunt does have an uncanny ability to finding hidden gems from other teams. The Draft picks gives them options come next year as they look to augment what should be the best roster in the East (only 1 of these picks were used in the Tomasino trade)

The Rangers have been on a tear since their coaching change and have arguably the best group of OAs in the Western Conference. Noel has a chance to make a major impact for them and the price they paid was outstanding value.

Barrie
Metej Pekar

to

Sudbury
Er 3 2020
Sby 2 2022
Sby 5 2023
Sby 2 2024
Sby 6 2024

Breakdown
Great return for the Colts in this trade. They moved an import who will not be returning for 5 draft picks, 2 of which are 2nd rounders. Pekar has been a valuable player for them the last 2 seasons but this team is clearly building for something beyond this year and did a great job in getting a nice return for an import.

I like this move by Sudbury. They improved their depth up front. They should be in line for the 2nd seed and while I think the Petes still have a leg up on them it should be a good series and at the end of the day you never know what will happen in a 7 game series.

Jan 8

Sarnia 
Anthony Tabak

to

Barrie
Bar 4 2021
Bar 5 2021
Erie 3 2023

Breakdown
The only logical reason I can see to Sarnia making this trade is that their hand was forced. Tabak is such an intriging player that has seen his point production on a per game basis triple this season. He offers size and intriging upside that he is now starting to tap into.

Barrie gets a piece that can grow with their young core and could be an intriguing OA for them during the 2021-22 season where this team is looking primed to peak in.

Oshawa
Andrew MacLean

to

Niagara
Nia 5 2022

Breakdown
With the acquisition of Kooy the Generals moved MacLean, a player the acquired for a 2021 5th back in September. For 19 wins games and 11 wins the Generals move back 1 year on a mid round draft pick.

The Icedogs get some insurance while Tyran recovers from his horrific injury. Maclean should offer solid goal tending for a team that is going to look very different in the 2nd half of the season.

Guelph
Markus Phillips

to

London
Bar 3 2021
Ldn 4 2021
Ham 2 2023

Breakdown
Returned to the OHL by the LA Kings the Storm were hampered by a cool OA trade market. They were still able to get 3 picks for a player who will arguably be the top OA defender in the league.
The Knights, one of the few contending teams with a glaring need for an OA upgrade were able to take advantage of a buyers market. The 2nd in this trade is 4 drafts away which limits is present value.

Sarnia
Jordon Kooy

to

Oshawa
Wsr 2 2020
Osh 5 2022
Kit 3 2024* Conditional

Breakdown
The Generals pick up a goalie with intriging upside. Kooy should be back in the OHL next year for an OA season even though he is a Las Vegas draft pick. He has the potential to be an impact goalie in Oshawa for a team primed for a Memorial Cup run next season.

Sarnia claimed Dylan Myskiew off of Waivers from the WHL and flipped him to London with a Conditional 3rd for Kooy. They got a handful of starts and moved him for a 2nd and a 5th as well as a 2024 conditional 3rd. Not a bad move at all.

January 7th

Barrie
Riley Piercey
Tyler Tucker

to

Flint
Evan Vierling
Fli 2 2023
Fli  2 2024

Breakdown
Personally I think this is a great move for both teams involved.
Flint Gets bigger on the blueline with Tucker. They also add an '02 born 1st round pick in Riley Piercey to offset the loss of Vierling. I dont know if this team can battle with the big guns in the West but they will be a tough team to beat in round 1.
Barrie gets the better '02 in this trade and adds a pair of 2nd round picks. Losing Tucker hurts but it will open up development time for their younger defenders. I love the group of '02 and '03 players this team has assembled. They have positioned them self well for the 2021-22 season.

January 6th

Niagara
Kyen Sopa
Nia 13 2022

to

Erie
Eri 2 2022
Eri 8 2022
SSM 3 2023

Breakdown
I dont get this trade to be honest. The Otters move assets for a '00 born Import. One coming off a trip to the WJC and is currently averaging a point per game but it is a step cost for a player that wont move the needle much. Do they plan on bringing him back next year as an OA? Having an import OA isnt the most efficient way to construct a roster. He would have to have quite the impact to make a worthwhile move and would he really turn down pro options in Switzerland?
As for Niagara this is a great return for an import whose markets are always limited by the fact that teams can only carry 2.
