It has just recently been revealed that a deal is in place for OHL and Team Canada superstar John Tavares. Sportsnet has earlier revealed that he had indeed been traded this afternoon to the London Knights. This however is not true as the OHL has a no-trade rule for players attending the World Junior tournament.
All being said I have learned that the deal could possibly go through Tuesday evening and it is only a possible deal that is in place. The rumored deal would be forward Phil Varone, defenseman Scott Valentine, Christian Thomas, a 3rd round draft pick and cash all for Tavares.
The Generals have made an official statement "Contrary to the current reports, the Oshawa Generals have NOT traded John Tavares to the London Knights, the Windsor Spitfires or any other Ontario Hockey League team."
Also TSN has reported the deal is false and still claims the Windsor Spitfires are the number one contender.
Personally I do believe it will be the Knights who gain Tavares services just due to the fact the Windsor Spitfires are an up and coming young team and don't seam to really need the extra push when they have a really young talented core who could get the job done. I also believe that it wont be Tuesday but after the Oshawa plays the Knights this Friday night.
