Ho Sang was traded ???

Earlier in the year I ?? The thoughts of him joining the GENS - well he is now a Niagara Ice Dog

The Ice dogs paid a huge price - 2 2nds a conditional 2 nd and a 1st rd pick from Whitby Haydon Mc Kool

Windsor is building for the future and Niagara with there new Arena - starting to play better and hit with injuries

cannot afford to fall any further - It appears Sudbury will be last in the East - who finishes 9 th will be from these

teams - Mississauga - Peterboro - Niagara - don't think it will be Niagara and Mississauga cannot score and the Petes

who I thought would be better have taken 1 - 2 or several steps back (rumours in Petes land of players wanting out again)

I am not sure we need to make a trade at the deadline - BUT a huge price was paid for a top player and we cannot trade a

# 1 player of ours - last year many of u wanted to trade Vande Sompel - bet you are glad we didn't

First things first. The Vande Sompel trade rumour was not a rumour last year. They called Mitch into the office and let him know Windsor was making a hard offer for him. I'm thankful it wasn't enough. I think some of us caught wind of that offer and spoke of it here.

Yes, way too big a price for Ho-Sang. What is Niagara thinking???? We keep complaining about the Gens not having any 2nd rounders. Niagara is improved but its not going to get them into the top 4.

This is why Niagara could trade for Ho Sang - They have a stock pile of picks and u can't use them all - except for a trade

Earlier in the year Niagara moved their 1 st round pick Logan Brown to Windsor for - 3 - 2nd rd and 2 - 3 rd picks

Guelph - 2nd - 15 and 18 plus a 2 nd from Windsor in 17 and Kitchener 3 rd 16 and a 3rd from Windsor in 18

So they have moved young players McKool and Brown for a veteran scorer Ho Sang and swaped a pile of picks

It appears Windsor may win this 1 in the long run

All the 2nd icedogs gave were the one's they got from us from the Lesii deal😅

If you are referencing Lessio, then not quite:

"The Niagara IceDogs have decided Lessio is more.
Monday, the Ontario Hockey League team traded its 2009 first-round pick, Lucas Lessio, to the Oshawa Generals for a second-round pick in 2010 and a conditional 15th-round pick in 2011.
The conditional pick switches to second-round picks in 2012 and 2013 if Lessio plays a season in the OHL. If Lessio plays two or more years in the league, the Ice-Dogs will also receive two third-round picks in 2011 and a fourth-rounder in 2011." source - Niagara Falls review

I spelled Lessio wrong Oops, But if you noticed the emotion @ the end it was suppose to be Funny not serious.

Sorry Steamed! Missed that. I read that and you got me thinking wow really (?); and started looking for that trade. My post probably came too serious as well as I was hustling to get to a music practice.

Now back to your comment.... lol is the appropriate response!
