Credit: Natalie Shaver/OHL Images</i> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Both the Flint Firebirds [https://thehockeynews.com/ohl/latest-news/calgary-flames-prospect-joins-flint-s-championship-charge-in-8-pick-trade] and Oshawa Generals [https://thehockeynews.com/ohl/latest-news/san-jose-sharks-historic-pick-haoxi-wang-traded-to-icedogs-for-artem-frolov-picks] have finalized their overage rosters. Before the overage trade deadline at 12 pm EST on Thursday, Jan. 8, the Generals acquired overage forward Matthew Wang from Flint in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2029 draft. Prior to the deal, Flint found themselves in a "numbers game" with four overagers: Wang, goaltender Mason Vaccari, defenseman Urban Podrekar, and forward Christopher Thibodeau. To comply with the league-mandated three-player limit by the Thursday noon deadline, the Firebirds were forced to move one of their experienced leaders, and Wang drew the short straw. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound forward from London, Ontario, has dealt with a few injuries this season, limiting him to just 10 games played. He had a hot start to the season, registering three multi-point games in his opening four games (3 goals, 4 assists). Wang is back and healthy and will finish his third and final OHL season in Oshawa. He joins forward Luke Posthumus [https://thehockeynews.com/ohl/latest-news/oshawa-generals-overager-luke-posthumus-commits-to-ncaa-st-lawrence-university] and defenseman Lucas Moore [https://thehockeynews.com/ohl/latest-news/oshawa-generals-defenseman-commits-to-ncaa-niagara-university] as the three OA’s to wrap up the season for the Gens. Oshawa has scored the fewest goals this season, with a total of 89. This year was intended as a rebuilding season for the team following their back-to-back appearances in the OHL finals. However, several forwards on their roster would greatly benefit from additional offensive support to aid in their development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you bookmark THN's OHL site [https://thehockeynews.com/ohl] for the latest news, exclusive interviews, breakdowns, and so much more.
