I didn't claim that the Frontenacs would benefit from making Domi sit for 2 years, the point I am making is after Wes O'Neil spurned the Frontenacs and now Domi, I would as a GM or owner would say enough is enough, Max you are going to have to play in the USHL as that is the league you said you were headed for.


  

That is not a smart decision either though. Letting your pride get in the way doesn't do anything to help the on ice product either. Drafting Domi was actually a good move, in the sense that yes they got the compensation draft pick (Bennett) in return, which they would have gotten anyways and they were also able to land three 2nd round picks too.
Kingston actually is changed the way the system works and was a pioneer in a certain sense, becuase this past year we saw both Owen Sound and Niagara do the exact same thing. The OHL will probably need to re-visit this and take away that compensation 1st rounder to teams who trade their first pick for a ransom.

The real issue is what happened to the so-called "blue-print" of drafting well and using those three second round picks to make the team into a serious contender.
