thechronicleherald.ca/Sports/1162077.htmlI believe that this will be a great read as it will reinforce knowledgeable fans with regards to knowing that there is indeed a plan that has been identified and is being followed and for those who are a bit disillusioned it should be a breath of fresh air and give hope for the future. Now for those who just want to bitch and not offer anything intelligent it probably won't do anything for you.

I don't see a lot of concern lately with the direction of the team, it was moreso last year with Patenaude at the helm and the Marchand trade/lack of help on defense added the year before. For now Russell is either still in the honeymoon period as GM or most people are happy.

Smith seemed excited about that early euro pick... even though there are still Knotek possibilities, sounds like they have made up their minds about using it vs. trading it.

Sound like Roy was holding out for bigger return until the last possible second, then let him go cheap out of necessity basically.

I believe what Bobby said...its just interesting to see how much Roy tried to fleece Halifax and Cam didnt buy it.

Hard not to like what's being said. An owner that's ok with and supports a down year (on the ice and in the stands) for the sake of rebuilding is a good thing to see. I've was worried early in the year that a falling crowd and a losing record would cause either Smith or Russell to panic... there's been no hint of that and that's great. Sounds like Smith is enjoying the rebuild and what the guys are showing.

Lol, yep 2 firsts for Delmas?? I like Delmas but what the hell was Lewiston thinking? Wow, that blew me away. Good on cam to wait for the right deal this year. I wouldn't have liked the deal at all had it been for anything higher than maybe a 5th.
No doubt this year has been brutal, and hard to watch at times, but I really believe we are getting there. Lots of options at the draft and as much as I like Tomas, I would really prefer to draft a kid that fits the plan, unless of course we can steal an asset from a team worth trading the euro pick for. The other thing this year that has made it even tougher is the fact that our division is absolutely brutal. Doesn't help matters as far as wins are concerned.

The good thing is, if Halifax doesnt get an offer for Knotek at the draft, they can still draft a euro and keep Knotek on the 50-man list under the 'special' category for 20 year old euro's.

It was, according to Bobby....this was last year... Quebec wanted the 37th overall pick for him this year but Cam waited and got him for a 6th next year

The only thing i question is how we got Gatineau's 2nd, I thought we had Victo's unless it was a Gatineau pick that Victo traded to us last year when we held off on a pick last year for the 2nd this year.

Delmas was still a pretty sought after player last summer, but his crappy year again this year dropped his value considerably.
I think what Russel is trying to do is if he thinks MCT is gone after next year, he may try and trade him to a contender and use Delmas as a 20 as it's unlikely he signs pro IF he plays better the second half f the year.
