I know in previous years some of the games were broadcast on YouTube...does anyone know if this is the case this year?

The roster is still not finalized. As mentioned in today's CB Post, Dumont will be finalizing the roster today. I suspect there is just one more cut to get down to 23.

Pretty good looking roster, just a couple of surprises, IMO.Surprised to see eight defencemen as opposed to seven, also I thought Caza would have been there.Good luck to the boys in Russia. I only seen you guys the one time, and that was when you played in SJ. I know it wasn't your team's best effort and you basically sent a bunch of no-namers, but I too am surprised to see Caza cut. Of all those players that dressed on Friday against SJ, Caza was the only one I really noticed and thought looked like he might be able to play at the Q level.

Thought Jacob Smith was one of the better players in all the games I watched, too bad about him being 19.

Most likely the last cut will be a Dnab, unusual for the Eagles to carry eight. IMO, it would likely be Baillergon, he did not have a good camp at all. Wait and see I guess.Also if and when Mason Gray arrives, another forward will probably be cut(Tower or Boucher?).

I never mentioned it, but honestly other than the fancy move that Gauthier made yesterday vs the Moose, I was not impressed with how he was playing. He seemed extremely lazy, slow skater and looked out of shape.

That trade makes the roster make a little more sense. I had no idea how Gauthier was meant to fit in the lineup.

Yeah, I liked that deal assuming it is true - Gauthier never seemed comfortable here and would probably be wasted on the third line. MacIntyre is a bigger type defenseman we can use and someone with a bit more experience. Doesn't hurt with being a local.
It would mean that a defenseman gets cut, it would seem.

That trade is on the Q site so official it is.

What's the lineup shaping up to be? Seem to have some high quality 18 and 17 year old defencemen now.

Duncan MacIntyre to Cape Breton for Guillaume Gauthier and a 2nd pick 2015. High price to pay for MacIntyre but could end up as a great deal. Gauthier never worked out right from the start here and moving him now before a poor 1st half if he is shuffled around makes some sense. We need more 18/19yr olds and MacIntyre helps that and is a defenceman that can play with the current core while giving the youth time to develop. The disappointing camp of others probably emphasized the need for another veteran on the back end and now our blueline is extremely deep when you look beyond this season.

Perfectly fine with that trade, Gauthier never really seemed to give it his all and I believe he would've been on the 3rd line anyway.
Legare - Farrell - Pelletier Lazarev - Bishop - Svechnikov

^Edit: Exact lines I thought we'd see, you beat me to it What's the lineup shaping up to be? Seem to have some high quality 18 and 17 year old defencemen now. Well the 3rd/4th lines are tough to predict but the top 2 lines will include: Lazarev Bishop Svechnikov Legare Farrell Pelletier Leveille MacIntyre Deschamps Bell
