Here are this evenings OHL Trade Deadline rumor for the big day Monday. The OHL's official deadline is Monday January 10th at 6pm. We'll be covering the trades as we hear em on Ice Scoopz as well as a final tally Monday evening after the day's events. The WHL also has their deadline this Monday as well so we'll have that coverage as well.
There's a couple prominent names and rumors starting to take off this weekend already and I'm sure there will be no shortage in rumors and trades leading up to 6pm. Several big names this year that have very good odds at being dealt come Monday.
*-> Columbus Blue Jacket draft pick Dalton Prout is rumored to be heading to Saginaw as several sources have been rumoring both the Barrie Colts and the Saginaw Spirit.
*-> Sudbury Wolves captain Marcus Foligno has been featured in a pile of rumors since his strong performance in this years World Juniors for Canada. Several sites have Foligno on the move as the Wolves look to retool and trade their graduating players for future talent. Foligno has told the Sudbury media and the Sudbury management he'd like to remain with the Wolves for the rest of his CHL career just as his brother and father did. I highly doubt that Foligno will be moved as management has said they have a mutual understanding between the two parties although it would be more beneficial if Foligno was moved before the deadline. The biggest suitor is rumored to be the Windsor Spitfires where he would join Team Canada teammates Ryan Ellis and Zach Kassian.
*-> While on the subject of Sudbury, it's believed the Windsor Spitfires is also interested in Ottawa native Eric O'Dell who has spent most of the season on the sidelines after having surgery. Windsor is reportedly looking at a package deal of Foligno and O'Dell. O'Dell is overage so the teams would be limited but another team reportedly in the mix is Niagra.
*-> Russian gold medal goalie Sergei Bobkov is rumored to be unhappy with the London Knights and the Knights have been reportedly looking to deal him to get some value back when he leaves at the end of the season as he's overage. The Erie Otters have slight interest while Plymouth Whalers also could be in the fray.
*-> Calvin de Haan has been mentioned in many rumors as of late but from what I hear the Oshawa Generals want him staying put and will take the loss at the end of the season when he moves on to bigger and better things with the New York Islanders.
*-> With the Sault St. Maire Greyhounds on the outside looking in veteran goaltender Chris Perugini is getting a few looks. The only team I have heard as of late is the Erie Otters who appear to be in every rumor circle regarding goaltending.
*-> Another Greyhound possibly moving on is second generation defenseman Brock Beukeboom. The Ottawa 67's and the Niagra Ice Dogs have both been linked to the son of hard hitting NHLer Jeff Beukeboom.
*-> The Colts could be interested in parting with centerman Taylor Carnevale if the price is right. Barrie would love to keep this kid in the fold next season but if a contending team makes an unbeliable offer it's very viable he could be moved. I'm hearing the Generals and the Kitchener Rangers.
