www.hfboards.com is where the rumour is, its in the windsor spitfires thread. Its just some clown from windsor dreaming up a trade, since khokhlachev is not returning to his club team in russia and expected to report to windsor.

This guy from Windsor is dreaming giving up Altshuller must of been in his dream but Cassels may be what it takes as part of a package for khokhlachev and +'s

The only thing I thought might have some "legs" on the Khoklachev rumour was the fact that we had a Euro spot available and were looking for a solid second line winger...I never thought for one minute Altshuller would be in play...I also doubt Cassels..Windsor wants 95s and 96s for the 2014 run

Thats exactly why cassels is in play, he is a 95. If we could get a deal done with cassels and some other pieces, its a trade i would look at. Maybe its just me, but cassels has been a disappointment as our first round pick last year. No way are the gens dealing altshuller.

Your right gmc118 there is NO way the gens trade Altshuller but I can see Appleby(sp) in the mix and don't laugh just think about it Altshuller will see most(all) of the action this year and next, getting a vet goalie included in a trade just incase of injury wouldn't be a bad idea,next season could bring up a rookie goalie as Appleby would be in his 3rd year in the O before he see's any serious playing time.but definatly Altshuller is not in play and all those Windsor fans that think it can keep dreaming.

I'm guessing Aidan Wallace is not signing with the Generals as there is no sign of him on the Gens roster. Probably why they brought Joe Manchurek up for the weekend. With the new injuries, they could use him.

Teams wanting to trade with us - Ottawa wants Dal Colle - NO WAY

Trades at the deadline very seldom put you over the top - getting Lessio back will fill a big hole

We will not make a major trade and why would you give up a good prospect on de - like Will Pethscing

We will not be rebuilding next year - tired of that -

I want to be like London - reload not rebuild - draft right and you can be in the show every year

Why some of you want to trade away our young prospects puzzle me

As far as our Over agers go - I am more than satisfied - Sabourin has been a HUGE surprise this year - great heart a a true GEN

I don't think anyone wants to trade our youngsters. We woul like to pick up some depth players who may not be 'A-grade', but 'B-grade' players who are a step up from most of our 3rd and 4th liners. As far as I'm concerned, Dal Colle and Altshuller are untouchables!

Finally someone who is actually making sense! I've been sitting here thinking, why are we getting rid of Sabby. He's becoming one of our go to guys. I personally would love to turn the clock back and see what he would end up like had he been given a chance/ice time in the last 3 years. I can't understand why anyone would want to give up Tyler Hore who has walked on this team looking like a 2nd year guy. The team is playing fantastic, even with missing key guys. I can't wait to see what happens when guys return. The only puzzel piece I would like to see is a veteran goalie or a goalie who is good enough to back up Dan and/or relieve him from some playing time. I'm worried they are going to wear him out. I don't care what anyone says, IMO getting rid of Bails was a big mistake (we'd have 2 of the top 10 goalies in the league). I'd rather have had Bails and Dan then to have Petrgrave. I personally haven't noticed our d lacking with out him in the lineup (there hasn't been as many odd many rushes thats for sure). LOL i did ask some people if they noticed he was missing and one guy responded " Yeah I have no one to yell at now!".

I say grab a decent goalie for the smallest price we an pay and let it ride. Nothing can be as disappointing as last years "dream" team.

Bails had his years in Oshawa to prove himself but he didn't glad he is doing good in London,I rather have the 3 oa's we have,but your right we do need a vet back up not an oa,this is why hopefully we can package Appleby or swap because I can't see him getting sufficant time in net this year or next.
This is just a thought since Appleby is from North Bay and Brampton is going to North Bay next season maybe something could be worked out

Package Appleby? He would be a throw in at best. I don't see a major trade but perhaps some minor tinkering. Our top two lines are pretty strong when everyone is healthy.

But we have so many injuries. Any word on when anyone will be back? I.e. Lessio and Petgrave.

End of January at the earliest, probably mid-February.

I'm just wondering why and this is not a knock against Twohey because I think he was a great hire but as of the past weekend Twohey is watching the u17 in Drummonville? shouldn't he be in OHL rinks looking at players avaiable or talking on the phone with other GM's,just curious.

Pretty sure Kyle Dubas the GM for the SOO was there as well. Perhaps he is looking at potential trades. Maybe he's looking for younger talent that he could possible make trades for.

OR maybe Twohey and the team aren't planning on making any block buster deals, so he's not that worried...........

ok i think is my first posting for the year the Gens organization hopefully realizes
this is the best position we have been in in a long while , in regards to making a run at the ohl championship , with petgrave and LESSIO back , baring any further injuries or long term suspensions, this team is as good as anybody in the league , save for ONE piece ....a vet defenseman that has a shot from the point , like say CODY CICE in Ottawa .

this piece has to be filed or we will just make a strong run , but fade in the end , next year we lose a lot , the team will be at the start of a full rebuild once again , just too many positions to fill .

my opinion is to do what it takes to get that D MAN , PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE THIS YEAR , GIVE US, THE LONG SUFFERING GENS FANS HERE A REAL REASON TO COME TO THE RINK AND SUPPORT THIS TEAM .

IF nothing is done in this regard , then it will tell me that this organization is just like the leafs , get good enough to make the playoffs , well thats not good enough for me , anymore !!!! , 83 , 87 , 90 ( win ) 97, all great years in the memorial cup , nothing since 97 ,.........16 years and counting

Hear what your saying but you need 2 to tango,to get a top line Dman or forward you have to give up some assets,which I don't think we can without hurting the future.the most we are going to do is tinker which means we are not giving the future.remember you got to give something to get something.

i agree i doubt the gens will make any big moves on trade deadline day just need a nother dman and possibly a vetrean back up goalie for altshuller

and also hopefully the gens can get lessio back soon and the rest of injured players when r they do back just wondering thx.

I talk with Petgrave on the weekend he said he is scheduled to be back play next week,as far as lessio heard the plan by the end of January and for as Lloyd, Carlie(sp) haven't heard there progress but did she them walking around the rink past weekend Hunter is end of January and Hore said by this weekend.

ok cool thank you

So another week and a bit and we'll be closer to a full team.

Another rumour on the Windsor site about interest in Oshawa for Windsor's 94 defencemen named Bowen.
A 94 d does makes sense so he could OA in 14/15. Don't know anyting about him though.

Also, seen leaving the GMC on Tuesday, a gentleman in a Knight's jacket and his clipboard.
Not sure what the Knight's would need from Oshawa, but I could name some Knight's that we could use!!

Just throwing this out there for discussion

If we were to trade Laughton for a solid D for this year, and picks / 95s / 96s to stock the cupbaord for the next 2 or 3 years, would you?

I really don't need to hear how good Laughton is, everyone knows it, it is obvious, and I am not suggesting we should trade him but he is a 94 likely to be back next year and to the right team in the west could land us enough for a legitimate shot at hosting the Memorial Cup.

Don't know why the Gens would have any interest in Bowen. He's a spare part in Windsor, a 7th defenceman, who seldom dresses and when he does doesn't play much. He's a tough guy with some potential, that's it Club exec's who come to scout /visit the Gens don't wear team jackets while they are working, not even the scouts! Anyone wearing a team jacket and carrying a clipboard is probably involved in a hockey tourney or a peewee coach. Don't get too excited about either of the above. Besides, Windsor and London are always pushing their over-hyped leftovers on other teams in this league!

Why so because he will come cheap..

.

There is a London scout who lives locally so nothing should be read into that.
