Let's also get real. The draft should be about 3-5 rounds at most. If you're going to force these teams to make all these long shot picks, I don't blame them one bit for selling off later round picks if parents are silly enough to pay for it as I sincerely doubt OHL teams have spent a huge amount of time parsing the specific difference between Barrie's 4th Dman vs North Yorks 8th forward vs the backup goalie from Sudbury.

I would bet a solid $100 that this list looks way, way, way different if you actually only counted "home boundry" draft results. Thats the true brag post imo.
