2nd rounder?????

Has the 2ND rounder committed yet? or is he a no show???

Mark Petaccio would be the name you were looking for, as far as i know no one has signed other then Scott.

I expect us to sign several players though, other wise the deal with the Whitby Fury doesn't make much sense. they can't help develop are players if we have no players

Does anyone know about the 2nd round pick? heard he is from the States, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Did he go to the rookie camp last month? Do you usually sign 1st and 2nd round? or no?

We will probably sign 4 of our first 5 picks, you can only play 4 so i assume 1 of the 3 was a gamble, can't see them gambling on more then 1 of the 5.

The gamble was Cody Payne , the second of our 3rd round draft choices. He's gone USNTDP. If we lose Petaccio, someone should be fired!

I was looking and saw he will be signing. Sounds good.

Petaccio and Payne Commit to Generals
June 22, 2010 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Oshawa Generals

Oshawa, ON - June 22nd, 2010 - Oshawa Generals Head Coach & General Manager Chris DePiero announced today that the team has signed 2nd round pick Mark Petaccio and 3rd round pick Cody Payne to standard OHL agreements with the Generals.
Petaccio (pictured on left), a 16 year old Forward was selected in the 2nd round, 24th overall in the 2010 OHL Priority Selection this past May. He spent last season with the Team Comcast National Team where he scored 23 Goals and 37 Points while adding 139 Penalty Minutes in 33 games.

"Mark is a big bodied player who works tremendously hard along the boards," said DePiero. "He has incredible determination to score goals and we feel he has a very bright future here with the Generals."

Payne (pictured on right), was selected in the 3rd round, 58th overall in the 2010 OHL Priority Selection and was Captain of the Mississauga Reps Minor Midget Team this past season. The 16 year old Centre, scored 39 goals and 65 points in 64 games last season.

"Cody is a very good all-around player. He is another big body presence who can play all three forward positions," said DePiero. "Cody also had the option to play for the U.S Under 17 Team and the fact that he chose the Generals as the best decision for his hockey development and education, we are thrilled to have him."

The Generals have now signed three of their top four picks from the 2010 OHL Priority Selection after signing 1st round pick Scott Laughton last week.

well sucks to be one of our top five picks doesn't it, since Cody was an unexpected signing, great news for the Gens, now if Lessio or Biggs show up i'd be thrilled

lots of competition for spots at camp will probably be a very good thing for us in the long run

a friend spoke to Lessio today and he says that he is still undecided on signing with the Generals

better then him having decided against signing with us

come on Lessio sign with us dude!

This is really great news as I read weeks ago that Cody Payne had made the USNDTP UNDER 17 TEAM like Biggs did last year. He was a steal in the third round!

Signing Cody Payne is huge - now we need that Big Defense from

London we drafted - Great work by our GENS STAFF

Yes, Brown looked very impressive at the rookie camp!

I would like them to take a long lookat Stephan Shears, a 6'3", 205 pound defenseman drafted in the 9th round from the NJ Avalanche. Thought he looked okay at rookie camp as well. I think they can sign him as he is a '93 versus the 4 '94's they can sign. Not sure of that though.
