The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) trade deadline is here, and the Barrie Colts are in full sell mode. They find themselves out of a playoff spot, and based on the moves they have made, it looks like they are ready to rebuild for the future. There have been some big OHL names traded in the last few days, like Owen Beck going to the Saginaw Spirit. However, if you follow the Colts, the players they have dealt this week are some of their biggest-named players.
- Barrie acquired the playing rights to forward William Moore from the London Knights
- Barrie traded goalie Anson Thornton’s playing rights to the Niagara IceDogs
Overall, the Colts are planning for the future with the trades that they made at the OHL trade deadline. With their position in the standings and the potential of not making the playoffs, this was a smart choice by general manager and head coach Marty Williamson. With all the draft picks that they acquired, it sets them up to be competitive for the next number of years.
