Without digging too deep in Internet land, do we know who we're missing this weekend if anyone? When will Ehlers/Fucale report to NHL camps? Fucale is leaving Thursday, I believe.

Just adding to HFXFAN09's post, is it Ehlers, Fucale, Gadoury, D. Moynihan and Murphy all gone? I thinks we might be in tough.

I don't know where the offense will come from. People seem to think the Mooseheads will do pretty good this year, but I think we are going to finish pretty low. Imagine if Fucale goes at Christmas. I don't think one line is going to be enough to win u games. Kind of reminds me the year we basically had Brine and Carnegie for offense. Didn't they finish close to last that year? I know Ehlers and Gadoury might be a better duo. Did it say anywhere who the backup will be for Resop until Fucale gets back?

Dempsey probably will back up. He's local so it makes sense.
Looks like 7 d/ 11 f will be dressed too based on roster makeup and those missing.

But at the risk of tooting the Moncton horn for the 300th time, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we were 4th. It won't be a frustrating season for us fans if we go into it with the right mindset. I'm still holding out hope for the firesale at Christmas... even though I can't see it happening.

I'm still holding out hope for the firesale at Christmas... even though I can't see it happening. Worst case scenario would be if Cam got it in his head that the Mooseheads were legit contenders and henceforth bought at the Xmas trading deadline. But for that to happen they will have to really overchieve between now and December. Gadoury and Ehlers would have to be putting up close to a 2 ppg on a CONSISTENT basis in order for this to be even close to being probable. And by consistent I mean not just getting 4-5 points against teams like Bathurst was last year then going cold against the real contenders. Other forwards like D. Moynihan, Meier, Shewfelt, Falkenham would need to fill the points that Ashley, Andrews and Ryan had last year as well. And then you have to account for the loss of Weegar and the fact that our group of D as they stand right now aren't capable of replacing him for this year. Now this brings me to Fucale- I believe we'll score enough to be in most games due to him and the system adjustments that Dom will bring in as I am quite sure he knows the Mooseheads won't be able to play the game they played the last 2 seasons especially. If Fucale plays amazing then maybe the Mooseheads overachieve to a certain extent but I don't see them being considered a true contender which would lead to Cam buying. I don't like the idea of wanting the team to lose games but I won't be all that pissed off about it if it leads to Cam selling off assets like Fucale and possibly Hardie and Ehlers, maybe even Vuic as he can add size and play a regular shift by how h has played so far in training camp. But if the offers aren't there and it is highly possible that this may happen even if it makes sense for selling to happen and Cam stays the course I will give him the benefit of the doubt. After all most of the moves he has made have been good ones, some have been great and a tiny fraction have been criticized.

Good post Nate.
I agree that our most valuable assets are Fucale, Hardie, and Ehlers. I'd be shocked if we didn't get phone calls on Vuic as well.
In last years playoffs, we basically played 4 and a half D, with Lussier playing less than Duke, Weegar, Hardie and Murphy. Austyn can log 20-25 minutes a night for a contender, you're not going to find a player with more experience, he's been through 12 playoff rounds and a mem cup.
I think Falkenham sticks around... he may get a few calls but I think Cam values him more than other GMs might.
