Oshawa Generals Dominating OHL Coaches Poll: Future Stars or Overrated?

The Oshawa Generals are cleaning up in the OHL Eastern Conference Coaches Poll. Ritchie, Danford, and Marrelli leading the way with multiple top spots – are we looking at future NHLers here, or is this just preseason hype? I’m particularly interested in the dominance of Danford as Best Shot Blocker AND Best Defensive Defenceman. Is he the real deal defensively, or are other teams overlooking some hidden gems on the blue line?

Also, the Brantford Bulldogs seem to be lurking. Players like O’Brien and Lardis are consistently in the top three. Is Brantford the team to watch, or are they being overshadowed by the Generals’ spotlight?

Let’s hear your thoughts. Who are your picks for breakout players next season? Are the Generals truly the team to beat, or is there another contender flying under the radar? What about those goalies? Oster and Ivankovic – who has the edge?

Weigh in below! Let the debate begin.
