Well, in the past few months, they signed Lewis out from under Spokane, and signed Bowles, and Flatt from the WHL.

All these WHL'ers going to play as 20yo's in the OHL can mean one of a few things.
1) The WHL has a glut of 20's and the OHL doesn't have the quality of 20yo's that are being cast off from the Dub teams.
2) There are more potential 20yo's from the OHL that are playing in the AHL or NHL this year, and they have avaialable spots.
3) The WHL simply produces 'better' talent that the OHL is hungry for. This could be why Curtis Cooper is havign such a good start to his season on the Saginaw Spirit, and cosistantly in the +1 to +4 range for all his games so far.

All things being equal, the trend could swing the other way for next year when the Dub has few 20's staying in the junior ranks. There are a good number of 19yo's now that will be making their NHL or AHL affiliates next season.We could be seeing a few OHL or QMJHL players coming this way, or some teams running a 20 or two short.
