Reminder: there is a weighted draft lottery for the first overall pick involving the OHL's four non-playoff team. Last place overall has 40% chance, second last 30%, third last 20% and fourth last 10%. (*editor's note: doesn't matter where you pick if you don't pick the right guy)

Even with London sitting out some big guns, Guelph is no match in the long run for a team like that right now. London has 13 NHL draft picks on its roster. Zero regulars from last year's draft and only four from the year before. It's an older, bigger, better team than anyone in the OHL. Hard to see anyone beating them until they get to the Memorial Cup. Maybe.

Hi Tony Been a Storm season ticket holder for over 30 years and it's frustrating watching the team this year. Just seems there is no progression. Next year what is your opinion about revamping the D? I would keep Frossard, Beauchene,Jenkin,& Skvortsov and possibly Spada as a 7th. I would fill the other spots with and OA or import. Thoughts?

One bad period last night. Thought Guelph played pretty well for the most part. But when the other team scores three power play goals and yours goes 1/7, it's tough to win on the road.

Hi all. Welcome to the Guelph Storm space, where all things Storm can be discussed, questions asked, opinions given. All we ask is that you be respectful of all involved. That doesn't mean no difference of opinions or criticism, just make sure it's respectful.

Word on this year's OHL draft, where the Guelph Storm should pick in the top 4: Six or seven very high calibre guys with no clear-cut number one among the top three or four. After that not that deep of a draft.

Right now the only in-house candidates for overagers next year are Charlie Paquette (likely) and Justin Bottineau (unlikely). Normally a team would like an OA defenceman, but the entire Storm defence is eligible to return. Perhaps trade from strength to fill a need?

Shoutout to Quinn Beauchesne (D) on his three-point afternoon on Sunday against the Kitchener Rangers. Despite the losing effort, Beauchesne assisted on all three Storm goals!

Name a Guelph Storm player from the past that you really thought was going to be a solid NHLer. I'll start: Isaac Ratcliffe.

Rod Gilbert, the last Guelph player to win the OHL's Red Tilson Trophy for outstanding player, in 1961. Might have gone with Jeff O'Neill as a guess, but his two best seasons were trumped by David Ling and Jamie Allison's huge seasons.

Sunday woes for the Storm as they fell 3-1 to the Sarnia Sting. The Storm return to the Sleeman Centre on Friday, March 7th for a rematch with the Sting.
