Kitchener native Derek Schoenmakers has yet to report to the Peterborough Petes after being traded north by Windsor last week.
He is currently weighing his options. He will either join the club, get traded or quit junior hockey and pursue his post-secondardy school studies.
Funny enough, the Rangers have an open OA slot. And both sides admitted to a mutual attraction earlier this season. Kitchener took a good look at Schoenmakers, while the winger has always wanted to play for the Rangers.
The timing may be off now. GM/coach Steve Spott said he wants to use his last OA spot for a veteran defenceman. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for Schoenmakers as an upgrade up front.
It will have to be a good deal for the Rangers, for a swap to be made. Think mid pick and one of their current OA forwards or lower level prospects. Otherwise, I can't see it happening.
As of now, the Petes and Rangers have not talked trade.
