2018 OHL Priority Selection (Reece Walsh Evaluation) One of our top scouts
We have made another trade as we have sent Marian Studenic to Peterborough Petes for 2 2nd round picks (Peterborough's 2nd 2018) & North Bay's 2nd 2019
Reason: With him being an OA next season we needed to cut down as we already have more then 5 next season and with NJ Devils we didn't want to take a chance and lose him for nothing so we pick up 2 draft picks one this year and one next year in the OHL drafts and gives us a chance to pick up 2 prospects in the CHL Import draft this upcoming June
