Guest wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 1:38 am Let’s get real here. This Draft is just a joke now. When you see Walters kid getting drafted it’s obvious to see that parents are paying for picks. The kids know, the parents know, even John knows his kid should have never been drafted. Embarrassing.

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.

Walters group had 5 on Barrie drafted, 5 on Oakville drafted and 4 on Markham.. probably used that for some pull for his kid

Current going rate for a draft pick by Niagara is $50-60,000 from what I hear. Not sure what it is on other teams.

Unless they’ve been here more than one year they weren’t eligible.

And hopefully some good memories here and there.
