CB could win the league this year with an upgrade in goal....they have scored 60 goals which is the most in the league right now.....but they have allowed only 2 less goals against than the worst teams in the league. Spend one of those 1st rounders on a top goalie and this team could surprise a lot of people. Swap Brassard to Saint John with a 1st rounder for Auger and you would be set. Good luck getting that trade done with SJ in 1st or 2nd come Xmas. that would depend on how dumb Saint John staff are....if they think they have a team to do anything this year, they are mistaken...they are at least a year away from contending. They might not trade Auger, but looking at what they have and when they can realistically contend they should be trading vets away....their best players are 17 and 18.

There really isn't many 19 year old dmen that project to be solid 20 year old players in this league right now...... let alone on teams expected to be trading down at Christmas time.... Cape Breton may not be able to go that route really

I think it's unanimous here that a trade like that does us no good on its own. It's the defence and 2 way team game that need upgrading, not necessarily the goaltending. You acquire Auger alone and you still have the same problems. If our goaltending changes it's to upgrade the 20 spot with a player in the lineup and bring in a younger goaltender who can play next year. I really can't see it being an Auger under any circumstance.

Cape Breton may not be able to go that route really There never is many players in that scenario. But having multiple 1sts to move gets you into the discussions with those teams. Perhaps we acquire 2 forwards and move a current established forward for a D. Lots of options out there regardless of whether the higher end talent is there to make it worth moving a Bell or Dubois.

I was not firing bullets at you I was just jumping into your thread as last year there were a lot of negative criticism towards the goalies not being able to do this or that and the fact that you mention in your post that this good old game of hockey that we all love is a TEAM SPORT well you hit the nail on the head.
Is it the goalies fault last year in the first round of playoffs was it the defence was it the forwards maybe not coming back and helping out as much MY answer is yes to all of this, as it is a team sport as you mention above and at the begining to all of this is a system that the team play and are taught by the coaching staff are they to blame geez we can go on forever as the coach may say the team did not play to the system that we put in place. The blame game can go on forever BUT LET'S FACE IT one thing we seem to do well is get a lot of shots and generate a hell of a lot of opportunities on the offence hence when you do that part well your defence game ends up hurting, so maybe if we tried to be a little more tighter in our defensive zone without causing all the turnovers because we are trying to put a good show on for the fans sorry folks but I to love a great offensive game but at the end of the day the important thing is the 2 points so if we try to evaluate or play a better defensive game the offence will come no way we can hold back this team (TO MUCH TALENT) but if we help out in our zone giving less chances to other team maybe just maybe we become a better two way team and the 2 points will be ours YES THAT'S IT HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! let's not forget it's the start of the season GEEZ FOLKS LET's HAVE SOME FAITH AND SOME FUN CHEERING ON OUR EAGLES…...
OK Folks I said I would and I'm here to defend once again the Goalies!!!!!
So if you have a moment, please check what I said up above in my last posting first and then read the following.
SO I guess the goalies are just brutal who play for the EAGLES right!!! Brassard is no good right!!! he did not bad in Quebec had his ups and his downs but overall his numbers were not that bad at all the issues he may have had was in the playoffs but overall a solid goalie but to read everything written here, well my god he has issues just like the last bunch of goalies we had in the nest.... Trudeau who what played for the Ottawa 67's last year and what got an opportunity with the Islanders AHL team but hey we shipped him off to Val'Dor hmmmm interesting, then we can talk about Bureau who to listen to people talk, well he could not stop a beach ball if he tried and this year with Sherbrooke he is what GEEZ only one of the stars of the week in QMJHL and has 7 wins and 3 lost so far this year with 10 starts not to shabby 11th top goalie in the league or hey let's have a look at Fortin who decided to take his game to another league all together as he felt he was never given a fair chance when the guy did what last year 16 wins and I believe 3 lost oh and he is 19 to top it off checked were he is playing this year and the kid is getting bombarded averaging about 36-38 shots per game also while maintaining the second best in the league with 0.924 SV% and two shutouts interesting and then there Mr. Chase Marchand who for some reason got moved last year after having a not bad run with us but again not a fair shot like Fortin and he to a 19 year old, he goes to the OHL like Trudeau and well had a so so time but comes back to QMJHL this year and ends up were with the Tigrers in Victo and he is doing what holding a 0.916 SV% and 10the best goalie in the Q so far this year not to bad for a rebuilding team and here we are with as some would say a power house of a team with a hell of a lot of skill with the best goals for 60 in the league HMMMM O_omakes you want to scrath your head and wonder. Like I said above to score goals well Damm we are good at that but to keep the puck out of the net boy what 54 against kind of sounds like last year right and we are at the bottom of the league so were I ask you is the problem THE GOALIES RIGHT MY FELLOW POSTERS GEEZZZ!!!! I've said it once and I will say it again folks, when you have the fire power that we have even putting Auger or Fucale or both for that matter will not change much until you look at the defensive zone system and how the boys are averaging turnover over turnover come on how many times are folks gonna keep saying DAMM we have a drama with our goalies maybe if we sat back and had a clear look at the complete situation and not just drop the blame on the masked guy (Halloween fast approaching ) a little humour maybe we would notice a bit of a trend as all the past goalies are holding there own in other teams other leagues a team has to be a team first and for most and we have to develop a better system in our D ZONE if not well we will still have the same issues in a couple of month's OK OK enough of my input's now let's watch how everyone starts beating up my comments HAHAHAHA!!!!

I'm a bit confused by your goalie defense though.
Trudeau is a '93. The only way for him to impact the roster in relevant years (this & next year) was by trading him which happened. Simard was part of the Trudeau trade. Fortin was poopoo and I don't even know where he's playing now but it's not in the CHL. Bureau had a .860save% and had every opportunity to run away with the starting job and couldn't do it. He went from a top rated QMJHL goalie for the NHL draft to not even close to drafted. Jonathan Deschamps is logging big minutes and wearing an "A" and will probably be a 3 season player. Marchand was the only one to actually look good with CB and I doubt you can find anyone then & now that understands why he was let go.

Wow thank you very much for that response exactly what I was expecting as I will not get into details but do your homework first before firing bullets like that. Funny how all we read is how Brassard can't get the job done either and we ne Cadorette we are already hitting the panic button on him\Brassard as we did with Marchand & Fortin instead of giving them a true chance oh and why is it that Bureau is not looking that bad in Sherbrooke maybe the system is a little better in the D zone, maybe he needed that as the game is a team sport and not an individual sport GEEZ and why is it that Brassard is having issues this year when last year he was not that bad with the Ramparts ? and how can you say Fortin poopoo geez you think we were in kindergarten he achieved very good stats everywhere he went Quebec\Rimouski and yes even CB and talking to someone at the nest, he was the one who took the decision to leave the Q\Eagles even when there were other teams in the Q who had interest in him playing for them this year ask Dumont that question he had value & he still decided to go elsewhere be it in the CHL or not there are a lot of avenues for players to get the opportunity to develop.
You have to get your head out of the sand and truly look at the last couple of years. No matter we do if we do not tighten the defence even with a goalie the caliber of Brassard\Cadoret\Fucale\Auger we will have issues as the masked guys can only do so much they will not win on there own they need a TEAM HARD FOR SOME FOLKS TO GRASP but as I said once before let's not hit the panic button to quick as if we can tighten things in our D ZONE I'm sure our TEAM (Forwards, Defence, Goalies oh yeah and the coaches too) will do better

Given your head a shake too prostar. I just got a headache reading all of that.
What you fail to realize is its not just the d. Its both. Marchand is the only one I disagreed with. Fortin was not a top quality goalie. A small amount of games played with a good record doesn't prove anything.
I don't care how good or how poor your d is, your goalie needs to STEAL games. Guys like fucale and auger STEAL games. Esp with halifaxs injuries right now.
Yes this d needs to improve, and time and a trade or two will help that, and no I am not throwing brassard under the bus, BUT so far ( other than yesterday ), he hasn't showed the fans anything. I'm hoping yesterday jump starts his play. He needs to steal close games and play like he wants to be here.
Now don't forget prostar, this is a fan base that's watched fleury,houle,pavelec,roy robbed teams of wins. Losing that goalie coach I believe plays a role in it too. Our d was not great multiple years they were here.
But if come Christmas, brassard plays as he is right now, you get a 20 who wants to be here. Dumont talks about him like he's a king (smoke screen) but in this small town, you gotta earn it, you don't earn it because of past records.

Is this guy a character from a cartoon? Maybe you should take your own advice and do your homework before firing your bullets? I was the guy preaching patience and saying Brassard still has a lot of time to come around before anything has to be done, I sure as shit wasn't hitting any panic button. I'm confused why you just said "as we did with Marchand" when in my post that you quoted I pointed out that Marchand being released made no sense at the time or now. Do you not see the irony of saying it's early for Brassard and then going straight into "LOOK HOW GOOD BUREAU IS IN SHERBROOKE" ... it's early. He could end up with a .860save% again and I wouldn't be surprised if Fitzgerald took over the starting role by Christmas. Fortin had a 4.05GAA and .875save% with CB during the season and 7.17gaa & .783save% in the playoffs. Ye he really achieved very good stats! I suppose that's why he's not in the Q anymore? Maybe you should get your head out of the sand and stop looking at the last couple of years when talking about the current defense? The only guys that started the season with CB last year were Lalonde, Bell, and Nosella. 2 of them were 16 and 1 was a fringe free agent rookie, it's not the same defense. Before you write another novel, take your time and read what others have said.

Goaltending has been the 1 weak spot for Dumont no question. Hard to think it could have been handled worse when looking at the assets burned the last 2 years on trying to stabilize the position. It's all been bargain acquisitions which have almost all failed miserably.

Thank you for that EagleFan2009, (OH Sorry about the headache) Take a couple of pops with some Tylenol and you will feel better
I agree if the team can't bring it together and Brassard does not win some games on his own at Christmas Dumont will have to do something as the skills are there and yes we have a young defence but with what we have in the bank maybe just maybe a couple of character 19 year olds who can play a two way game and help in the d zone could help but I still will bring it back to the system that we use in our zone the team is so offencive minded that we continure to have issues in our zone look at the videos with your team try analyzing what is happening and work on it with the skills we have up front I believe the PP is alright so work more on your D-Zone coverage during practices go to a practice you will see for yourself most of the time it's all offence DEFENCE is what helps win championships we have the offence let's work on the defence.
OH help me understand what you mean by Fortin/ a small amount of games played with a good record doesn't prove anything ? HELP how many games did Fortin play compared to Marchand in the CHL league at the end of last year and yet you believe in Marchand or you disagree with I'm confused are you saying that Fortin does not compare to Marchand and what consists a top rated goalie a Fucale or a Auger tell me which one you consider better as I will point out the differences in both of them for last year i.e. number of shots per game etc.etc. to you so help me understand how we make these decisions I know Marchand is a local boy for us but you can not take away what Fortin accomplished while he was in the Q and for that fact you can not take away from Marchand what he did either all I have been getting at since the beginning but no one seems to understand is that Marchand & Fortin in my opinion were not given a fair opportunity, Bureau was given a fair opportunity but unfortunetly we all know what happened there, now Brassard is getting a lot of support from Dumont but the same thing is happening with him as did Marchand, Fortin and what about Maxime Lagace who started last year with us who signed with Dallas NHL in 2012 is it just a coincidence that all these goalies including Brassard had or are having these issues and today some are not. I believe as the season progreses we will maybe have more answers but for our Eagles and Brassards sake things start changing as we will still be talking about this at the end of the year.

My 2 cents on the over all topic is your D is just young period. I think by the end of the year they get the kinks out and will be a force. Your forwards are stacked now with Darcy back. Bishop is a great leader and has all kinds of heart. The only up grade I would look for is a forward like MacAulay was for the Moose 2 years ago. If you can find a 19yo that can play any where in your teams top 9 that will put you over the top. And that way he can be back next year too.
As for your goaltending I don't think it's as easy as people think to up grade. I don't know how many for sure goalies will be on the market. Someone said go for Auger but I don't see him staying in this division if he gets traded. The only 20yo goalie that might fit is Whitney from Victo. But a guy who might work best is Storm Phaneuf. He's a 19yo back up that can be a starter and should be back next year. I think you can get him similar cheap.

The only guys that started the season with CB last year were Lalonde, Bell, and Nosella. 2 of them were 16 and 1 was a fringe free agent rookie, it's not the same defense. Before you write another novel, take your time and read what others have said. Geez we are touchy now huh hahaha! lighten up were here to point out some things what I'm trying to say is I believe the offensive system that we have using is great love it but we have to think obout the D-ZONE as well when I say look how good Bureau is in Sherbrooke it's not to say that Brassard is crap my god no what I'm saying is that the SYSTEM that our EAGLES PLAY is possibly the issue I am not throwing any of our goalers under the bus as I feel they have been left to there own to many times and I'm not saying it's the defence at fault my god I am saying on numerous occasions it's the complete TEAM the D-ZONE SYSTEM which means forwards/defence and goalies are all as a TEAM maybe some direction and some new D-ZONE SYSTEM mat HELP.
As for Marchand and Fortin read my previous post.
