Dylan Seitz Kitchener
2 Games
Fight in Final 5 minutes of a game.
Automatic 2 game suspension for having a fight in the final 5 minutes. Because he was also awarded an instigator on the play his dance partner avoids sitting for 2 games. Seitz served the first game of his suspension Sunday in Sudbury.
Damien Giroux Saginaw
2 Games
Slewfooting Match Penalty
Automatic 2 game suspension. Only one has ever been rescinded since the OHL has implemented the rule and that was for Ryan MacInnis last season. Did not play last night (Thursday) so we can assume this is his suspension even though the league has not updated their website (What do they do at the league office from Monday to Thursday?)
Christiano DiGiacinto Windsor
2 Games
Boarding
This has not been put up on the OHL website yet either but this was reported by Jim Parker (@winstarparker) of the Windsor Star. A must follow if you are an OHL fan. I havnt seen the hit but with DiGiacinto's history you would have to think this was a borderline suspendable hit and is getting it on reputation. The Spirfires can not afford to have DiGiacinto sitting in the pressbox. While he has to play on the edge to be effective this year more then any he has to know when not to cross the line.
Eric Guest Kitchener
5 Games
Verbal Abuse of a player
Dont know what was said but the league has a list of what can't be said. These suspensions are based on the reports the league gets from referees and can not be appealed. Check this out from Josh Brown for a recap of what happened.
Posted by the league after last weeks post. Nick Deaken-Poot was given an extra game for his match cross check penalty. While Michael Pezzetta of Sudbury was given 4 games for his head check in Mississauga.
Trades
Flint
Alex Di Carlo
to
Oshawa
Osh 5th 2020
Breakdown
This is the 3rd trade between these two teams since June 30th. With the pick up of Gordeev from Hamilton in the Bitten trade Di Carlo became surplus and the Firebirds were able to pick up a 5th for him. The Generals have a young but intriguing team in the East and Di Carlo will be able to give them some minutes on the backend.
London
Kole Sherwood
to
Flint
Sby 2nd 2018
OS 2nd 2019
Con OSH 2nd 2020 (If Sherwood plays his OA Year)
Breakdown
Sherwood who was a NHL FA signing by Columbus last year before signing as a FA with London moves to Flint where he will get a ton of ice time. Already made an impact on the weekend in his first games. London gets more draft picks to use as they look to make another run at an OHL title. A lot of fans were bemoaning the fact that London got as many 2nd round picks as Flint did for Bitten. What they tend to forget is that Flint also got 2 bodies back (Hicks and Gordeev) and that 2nd round draft picks are grossly overrated by fans. That said this was good value for London who should be able to put good use to those picks at the deadline.
London
Chandler Yakimowicz
to
Sudbury
Brady Pataki
Sby 6 2017
Sby 3 2018
The Greyhounds got David Miller of waivers from Kitchener. After 2 weeks David Miller was in the top 10 in the OHL in scoring. The Wolves give up a player and 2 picks for Yakimowicz a player who has 23 goals in 151 career OHL games. Sure he brings more to the table then offence but for one season I think you want more then a player who is a 3rd liner on a top team for what the Wolves paid up. Will be curious to see where Pataki fits on this deep London team. He played minor hockey for Chatham-Kent and the Knights will be getting 2 non OA years for him for Yakimowicz OA year plus the 2 draft picks that the Knights will maximize. Another great trade by London.
Barrie
Kyle Auger
to
Ottawa
Wsr 3rd 2017
With Middleton being assigned to the Sharks AHL camp the 67s were in the market for a defensive boost. Arguably the youngest D core in the league with 3 '00 born rookies I would not be surprised if they kick the tires on a '96 or '97 born defencemen to help insulate the minutes given to the young guys. In Kyle Auger they get a former HNO player of the year. An offensive minded defencemen who Warren Rychel likened to Ryan Ellis.
Fight Tracker
10 fights through 2 weeks (2 instigators if you do the math and see only 18 on my list) which has the leauge on pace for 162 by year end. Stephen Templeton became the first player to hit the 2 fight mark and the Generals as a team have been in 4 fights this season. Kingston and Sudbury are the only other teams with multiple non instigated fights this year.

Dangerous Hit Tracker
For a description of this and a blurb from the OHL site on this safety policy you can check out my week 1 transaction counter. Basically once you hit 4 boarding, headcheck, kneeing, clipping or hitting from behind minor you get an automatic suspension.
