It is now Jan 10th and all teams have finally set their rosters, no players will be moved now and can rest comfortably and know that they are there to stay.
While there was only 5 moves on actual trade deadline day we are going to say the trade deadline started Jan 2nd with the big move between Barrie and Saginaw kicking off this years events.

As you can see as outlined above Kingston, Sarnia, Erie, Windsor and Oshawa were the busiest teams after January 1st; while, Guelph and Plymouth didn't make a move as they were content at where they were. The biggest team to surprise me was the Saginaw Spirit (tied for 8th in the Western Conference but Guelph has 2 games in hand), Saginaw has had a very disappointing season thus far and given the assets they had I expected them to move more. Brandon Saad could have fetched a very decent return for the Spirit and with only 1 year of eligibility left in the OHL it is unlikely that Saad will even return to the Spirit next season, maybe the price just wasn't right for Saginaw? Saginaw did however acquire the most at the trade deadline by getting 7 players and 9 picks back for the assets they were able to trade away.
London probably came away the big winner from the deadline. The Knights made some trades that just made everyone shake their heads. GM Mark Hunter belongs in jail because he completely stole players from Erie and Peterbrough in acquiring highly sought after players Austin Watson and Greg McKegg. Rumblings around a lot of teams is that there were a lot better players on the table but Mark Hunter and the Knights some how managed to steal the players away for a lot less then most people believed they would go for.
Sarnia Sting General Manager Jacques Beaulieu was incredibly busy making some big moves but old buddy Mark Hunter him look like he over paid for everything he acquired by getting other high profile players for much cheaper. Going into the deadline Beaulieu had 6 cards available and made it known that he would probably use up all 6. Just after the deadline closed the Sarnia Sting announced how the 6th card would be used, that was announcing that Justice Dundas (best name in the OHL) would be remaining with the Sting for the rest of the year and would be signed to a Jr A card after maxing out the 10 games available on his AP card.
Teams that are most improved after the trade deadline were the teams that were probably the most dangerous going into the trade deadline. Sarnia, London and Niagara all improved their teams. Niagara is easily the beast in the east having almost an entire starting line up from the Team Canada WJC bronze medal team. London and Sarnia will most likely battle with Plymouth for the top team in the west for the rest of the year. The question with Sarnia is are they able to shake the injury cloud and get healthy in order to compete with London and Plymouth. Sarnia easily has a team that can contend but they need to get healthy and get star players Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk back on the ice to help with that.
