· Yahoo Sports
A Sunday trade in the OHL has hit inboxes, as the London Knights have acquired goaltender Arvin Jaswal from the Barrie Colts.

The return of the trade will be four picks, including a 2029 second-rounder (KIT), 2028 third (PBO), 2027 fourth (BRAM) and conditional 2028 third (LDN). The conditions on that pick were not immediately made available at the time of the deal.
Jaswal, 18, has not featured for Barrie this season due to injury. Last year, he featured as the backup to Ben Hrebik on the Colts' run to the OHL final, posting an 18-3-3 record, .922 save percentage, 2.45 goals-against average and two shutouts.

They sit dead last in the entire OHL, and have really struggled both offensively and defensively in a year that looks like it'll be a hard tank.
This deal is much more interesting for the Knights. Vancouver Canucks prospect Alexei Medvedev is the starter, but doesn't seem to have full confidence from the team. He's put up a 3-3-1 record, .895 save percentage and 3.37 goals-against average in seven starts this season, similar to his numbers last season.
The backup has been Brian Cooke, who's a perfect 4-0-0 with a .893 save percentage and a 3.07 goals-against average.
Now with three options in the crease, the Knights will have somewhat of a decision to make in the coming weeks as Jaswal gets healthy. Will Medvedev be flipped? Who are they confident in? Is this a tandem situation? We'll likely find out the answers to these questions in the near future.
