However, the team has decided to move on a different route. After a stellar season for the young forward, the Kitchener Rangers traded Rehkopf to the Brampton Steelheads.

While this may seem like an excessive deal for the Kitchener Rangers, other fans were quick to point out his dominance in the OHL. Rehkopf is a top prospect for a reason, and in just the last season, he scored a staggering 52 goals. Additionally, the Steelheads are laser-focused on winning, going big for top players in the leaue.
"Everyone saying whoaaaaa the steelheads gave up too much
You have to give up something to get something to get a player like Carson Rehkopf - scored 52 goals last year!!

While it is clear 10 additional draft picks are helpful, the Brampton Stellheads will undoubtedly find success with Carson Rehkopf. Hopefully, they can pull out their big win before he is no longer available for the league.
