Chandler Romeo, 19, and with a 2026 second-round pick head to Guelph. In exchange, the Sting receive Barrie’s second-round selection and Hamilton’s fourth-round pick, both in the 2023 OHL draft.
Romeo, a six-foot-five, 205-pound defenseman, was originally taken by the Hamilton Bulldogs in the third round of the 2019 OHL Priority Selection. He is also a draft pick of the Ottawa Senators, taken in the seventh round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.
